Summer July 2009

We got to have Lucy home for all of June and about 1/2 of July, and we had fun. We filled the time with going to Lagoon, trips to Grandma and Grandpa Garrison's, picnics in the mountains, and Playing at home while Jon painted the kids bedrooms. The girl's room got a pretty lime green and cream, while the boys room got a great bright blue and cream. They love their new colors. To finish off July, Lucy headed back to Seattle and the other 3 kids headed for the two weeks in Wyoming with Gramma and Grampa. This is a trip they would never pass up... this year Gramma & Grampa with Uncle Jared's help built the grandkids a Wyoming Club house. Let the fun begin!

2009 Family Summer Vacation

For the end of June and beginning of July we took our family vacation to Souther/Central Utah for camping and hiking.. not my idea, but Jon and the kids love it. I will admit that we had fun! We started out in Capitol Reef Nat'l Park near the Fruita area, the rock formations and views were beautiful. The kids got to explore and become Jr. Rangers, then we hiked to the Hickman Natural Bridge which was worth the effort. The kids did great on the mile in and mile out hike, and it was hot. We even had to scare off a racoon that ate some of our cashews from our campsite one night. Then we finished out trip at Gobblin Valley.. the rock forms their look like gobblins or mushrooms and the kids got to play and climb all over them.
