Lagoon Amusement Park - July 20th, 2026

 We decided to go to Lagoon while we were camping up this way. We (and Scott's family) reserved the campground, and stayed 2 nights. It is a nice campground, and really nice to be able to go back and forth during the day. It was a record heat wave while we were there. It was 106 degrees at the campground, and it was muggy. We started the day going out to breakfast in Layton. Gwyneth ordered the short stack, and it was the biggest 2 pancakes I had ever seen. They didn't even fit on the plate. We went into Lagoon at 10:00 when it opened. They all went on the old wooden roller coaster. I didn't want to. Then Doug went on the Screamer, and it made him so sick. It kind of ruined the whole day. He couldn't go on any rides for a few hours. After lunch, we went on the Terror ride , and Dracula's castle. We tried walking through Pioneer Village, but it was too hot. We felt sick, so we went back to trailer to cool down for awhile. When it cooled down to 90, we went back and went on new ride Primordial. It was fine until the last when it dropped us down, and we both got sick...We went back to RV for an hour and then we were determined to go back. We spent the last hour at Pioneer Village. I ordered a huge Funnel cake. Between the 2 of us, we could only eat half of it. We went through all the old pioneer shops and saw a lot of cool stuff. My favorite was probably the shop with all the old musical instruments. I don't know if we will ever go back to Lagoon, because it is too expensive for only going on 3 rides. But if we do, we will NEVER go in the summer againn!
















Duck Creek - July 5-7th, 2026

 We came to Duck Creek. It is only in the 80's, so it feels a lot cooler than home. There is hardly anyone in the campground. Nice and quiet. We fished at the pond and only caught 3. We ordered pizza from Hot Mamma's.  The next day we fished for 5 hours at Aspen Mirror Lake. Then we relaxed and watched TV in the trailer. The next morning we fished at the pond for 2 hours and caught 24 fish. It is not as much fun camping without the kids and grandkids. We walked all around the new campground to look at the sites. When we got home it was 107 degrees!!










4th of July - 2026

 It was too hot to celebrate. We didn't go to the parade. We loaded the trailer for a camping trip, and then we stayed inside all day. Tonight we did go to up on tech ridge to watch the fireworks. They were pretty and we had a good view. Even though it was illegal for private citizens to do fireworks, there were still a lot of people setting them off. They were all over the area! It was the country's 250th year celebration!! MaKayla sent me this cute picture of Amelia in her holiday outfit.
