This is how they cool off on a hot summer day!
Izzy's 14th Birthday - August 5th, 2017
Izzy came to visit for her birthday. She brought a friend and they went shopping. They stopped here for her presents and cake.
Doug's 64th Birthday - July 23rd, 2017
We were camping at Pine Valley, and I forgot to take my muffin tins camping, so when I got up to make Doug's birthday cake and cupcakes, I had to improvise. They fit into some oven pans I had, but when they baked, they all ran together. And I had to use a shallow pie tin for the round cake. Everyone had fun trying to figure out what "shapes" I had made!!!! Jessica made yummy Chicken Enchiladas, and brought those up for his birthday dinner, so it all ended up perfect!
Lake Powell - July 14-16th, 2017
We went to Lake Powell for the weekend. We stayed on the big boat, and took the ski boat out and had so much fun skiing, playing in the water, playing games, eating yummy food, and sightseeing. We had our own sweet little cove we stayed in.

July 1-4th, 2017 - Duck Creek
We had a great time camping at Duck Creek for the 4th of July. Everyone caught fish. We hiked to the Ice Cave, and also through Mammoth Cave "bat cave" We ate the pancake breakfast at the Fire station, and the kids got to ride in the firetruck, etc. The granddaughters all went horseback riding. We went to the parade in the Village. The grandkids tried to chop a tree with grandpa's ax... They had fun learning how to whittle. They had fun sleeping out in the tents. Sam even caught a snake while fishing. We played lots of games, hiked to the meadow and big tree, told stories around the campfires, relaxed in the hammock. We had a deer that came through our camp each night. The weather was perfect. So nice to get out of the heat!!
Splash Pad - June 11th, 2017
We had Emily, Andy, and Rocky for the day, so we went to the Splash Pad in Ivins. They had fun playing in the water and cooling off!
Sam and Lilly - June 1st, 2017
We took Sam and Lilly out hunting for the Summit Rock. It was over 100 degrees outside, so we came back and they played on the Slip n Slide to cool off. We didn't find the Summit Rock, but Sam found a cool rock someone had painted and hidden!!
Pine Valley - May 26th-28th, 2017
We spent 3 days in Pine Valley. The weather was great. We went Geo Caching. It was a VERY steep hike up past the cemetery to the old Pine Valley Canal. Scott found an arrowhead on the trail. The view from the top was amazing. The fishing wasn't as good as usual, but sitting by the reservoir was so peaceful. We went on a hike and saw lots of small waterfalls by the stream. We played games, ate great food. We also celebrated the 3 May birthdays we had this week!
