Lagoon

We haven't been to Lagoon in years, I think the last time we went was while we were living in Payson, before we had Brody. So I know its been over 7 years. The only real thing that changed for me was this time taking 4 kids, and enjoying some new rides! We didn't do Lagoon-A-Beach though. We decided to let the kids enjoy the rides and experience Lagoon that way although it was extremely hot and a nice cool dip would of been nice! The kids loved the rides, except Brayden who screamed through the first couple of rides. We finally found one that he loved the horse merry go round. He loved the little bear he could sit in by himself. I am so bummed though the only picture I got was with his eyes closed. Oh well the kids loved the food and the adventure! We spent the entire day there got home really late and started school the next day! Hooray!

August Summer Fun!

So August was an extremely busy month, and we crammed in as much as we could that last week right before school started! We went to Lagoon, celebrated Brodys seventh birthday, started school and Dave went on a Mancation with his friend and hiked 26 miles in two days. Needless to say we enjoyed the month of August, but I am definately glad that school is back in and we have a little bit of a routine around here! So here are pictures from some of those events!

Moab Trip

We won a silent auction at Brodys school last year, it was for a river rafting trip in Moab. We invited along some good friends and had an adult only mini vacation! We spent all day Saturday on the river and went out to dinner with everyone! We came back and played cards till really late and then got up and drove home the next day. I will admit it was a very fast trip, but so worth the company! Thanks to some awesome friends we had a great time!

Cascade Springs

I know its been forever since I have updated my blog. Everyone keeps saying when are you going to post more pictures. So here is my attempt to put on some recent photos of us from this summer! Before school started one of the things I really wanted to do with the kids was go to Cascade Springs. Its been several years since we last went there, the kids loved it. Brayden was fascinated with the fish. Although he did make me nervous at times when he would bend over to look at them. Maggie and Brody couldn't resist running up and down the trails while we were there. I kept warning them to be careful not to fall. Well Maggie tripped and fell and skinned both her knees. Here is a picture right after. Brayden pointing and saying "Owie" "Hurt". I think that prevented anymore running for the night. We packed a picnic dinner and ate it on the grass while we were there. I can't wait now for another drive up the canyon. The leaves are starting to change and I love this time of year up there.
