I am so slow getting this posted, but we have just been going... going... going... and we still have two more weekends to go before we are through.
A couple weeks ago we went down to Sandwash Lake to a birthday party for our nephews, Gabe & Taylor, they turned 9years old. We all went swimming... the kids spent most their time in the water... there was good food and {worm filled} cake and ice cream {everything was yummy} It was lots of fun and the kids keep asking when we are going to go swimming again. Landan had also taken his waverunner and let everyone have rides... Wyatt even got to drive {that was the first thing he asked... what a boy!} I was bummed because I forgot my camera, so I didn't get any pictures... sigh
Caleb's birthday is the day after our nephews and this year his girlfriend, Bailey, planned a surprise party for him down in central southern Utah. At first we were going to miss his birthday because we had planned to go camping, but then camping didn't work out, so we decided to go down at the last minute. It was a long drive... but we had a fun roadtrip... and once we got down there everyone had fun. Baileys family had friends that owned a cabin at Otter Creek, so we were all able to stay there and have lots of fun. They brought and prepared all the food... it was so nice... we played games and the youngers watched a movie. Her family also took us on a little hike up to a huge swing that the owners had made... IT WAS HUGE... and a little scary at first. Everyone who hiked up there took a turn on the swing, including my Mom & Dad, and Bailey's Dad and Uncle. The kids all took their turns over and over again, especially Wyatt {he wanted to swing the whole time} and when Uncle Caleb stood up on the swing Wyatt had to try the same thing... he is too brave. On the hike back to the cabin the kids caught some lizards... Sadie talked us in to letting her bring hers home, but then she had to let it go. It was a fun trip and nice to meet Bailey's family... they were so amazing to do all that for Caleb and for us.
