Vacation

We took our family vacation in early June. We started out in Provo, and I know some of you are laughing but we had a lot of fun. We were surprised to see Aunt Sherry at the campground. Aunt Sherry was my Mom's very best friend in highschool. I have the best memories of spending time with Aunt Sherry and Uncle Kully. And it was amazing to see them. It was very ironic because I had recently felt so lonely with out my Mom and Dad and seeing Aunt Sherry really made me happy! We hiked Timpanogas Cave (55 minutes up, not bad). We were able to go to the Stihl Lumber Jack competition again, always a favorite activity of ours. And we ended up spending an additional day and cutting out one stop on our trip to spend more time with Aunt Sherry. We rode our bikes 10 miles on the Provo River Bike Trail. And of course we had to get our first scorching sunburn of the summer hanging out at the pool for 3 hours. After Provo we headed to Bryce Canyon! AMAZING is the best word I can find to describe it. We hiked for 3 days and did several trails. The 3rd day was the furthest that we hiked. We did 3 trails that day including Bryce Point one of the harder trails in Bryce. The kids were awesome hikers. After Bryce Canyon we went to Cedar City for Summer Games. Opening ceremony was a lot of fun. And the firework show was spectacular! I would go every year just to see the fireworks. And of course seeing Morgan march in with her team was so much fun. Morgan played 4 games in two days. She was awesome! And of course the hit of the game. Everyone always commented on Morgan, the coach of the 16 yr old boys team tried to trade a player for Morgan. She is amazing at soccer and she has worked really hard to develop her skills. She really enjoys playing. We braided her hair in over 30 small braids (It took forever). We had such a great time! And I would love to share photos with you but......... we didn't have a camera so we bought the disposable camera's and I haven't had time to get them developed yet. I will post more pictures when I can but until then here are just a couple that we had. We are really blessed to be able to spend time together as a family. We are so lucky that we have a trailer and that it makes traveling a little more affordable. (atleast until gas hits 4 dollars a gallon again). I am very grateful for the amazing family that I have.
