Where or where did the summer go?

I know I feel like this every Fall, summer is just too much fun. But all good things must come to an end, and really after a none stop summer the down time is nice. But you can count on me being more then ready for Spring in a few months. I pretty much sucked keeping the blog up so I will do some quick updates on the summer and start fresh :) I blogged about our first camping trip to the Dunes. There are many more that followed. There is so much to say about each trip, we always have a great time. But in order to get caught up I will keep it brief. May 20-22 2011 -Wasatch Campgrounds This was a first for our family. Very pretty place and so close. And golf in walking distance, does it get better? The rapidly growing river close by was very scary, which would deter me in the future with small children, but other then that what a great camping spot.

It was nice to have a playground very close, the kids sure liked it. June 9-12 2011 Double Boogie Open- This is always a fun weekend, non serious golf.. yes! Kristin and Shawn joined us as partners this year. Kylie joined us for the first time, she is going to be a good little golfer if we keep her going. Although the tournament was earlier in the year this year we were still able to make it to the Payson city pool. This part is for the kiddos, and they love it there. Although I did realize Kennedy is in major need of swimming lessons, she doesn't even have the the doggie paddle instinct she just sinks. Makes for a very stressful swimming trip cause she will just jump in without anybody knowing. At this moment I'm not finding any pictures, but I know I took some so stay toned. Bear River Service up Uintas July 8-10 2011 Trever came off a graveyard so we headed up around 6am. It was cold, it had rained and I wondered why in the hell we were going camping in the high Uintas. By the time we arrived our buddies had breakfast ready, hot chocolate and coffee and I talked myself into thinking it would be bearable. The girls did not seem to mind the mud and went right into camping mode. As the day went on the sun came out and everything dried. This was the first trip Maddy was able to ride her very own first four wheeler. The first ride gave me heart failure, but we all survived. (for those that dont know, she hit a rock, high centered the four wheeler and flipped over the handlebars I heard the thud that was her helmet hitting another rock, she jumped up yelling "Im OK so glad I had my helmet on" as was I. It took me a good couple minutes to breath normal. The following days were great weather. We had a large group and ended up renting several 4x4's, rangers and four wheelers. Enough for our whole group to go on a long trip.

Found a very old log home

Our destination was a lake, however we ran into a snow block, so instead we had lunch and played

SO much water

Then we found a yurt!

Then back for some fun!

And the kids decorated their shirts

And this was the genious idea to keep the little ones safe

This was a great trip, we all had so much fun! To be continued.
