Summer Happenings: Beginning to Mid- July

 July was quite eventful around here.  It all started with a fun-filled family 4th of July at the cabin. 

Frisbee golf is a must at the cabin!

Parade time!

We also tie-dyed t-shirts (red, white, and blue) for the 4th of July.

Last year, we hiked Mt. Millicent because Emma's middle name is Millicent.  This year, we hiked to Preston Peak because Abigail's middle name is Preston.

She was so proud!

What a view!

On July 6th, we picked up a new member of our family.  After waiting a year, we finally got our escapod (tear drop trailer).  We never really thought we would get a trailer/camper but, after enduring a few too many rain storms, we decided it was time. We LOVE it!

We continued to spend time on the water--paddle boarding, kayaking, and swimming. 

We got our escapod about a week before we were leaving on a trip, but we did squeeze in a quick trip to the Uintas.

Coming Soon: a new deck!

The girls were troopers and helped pull out nails. I guess it helped that we paid them.

Summer Happenings: June

And just like that it is August!  What?!  School starts soon so, before we get into the fast lane, I figured I needed to update this little blog of ours.  June was an extremely hot month in Park City.  Temperatures were in the 90's and I think it rained 1 day the entire month.  

Andy's mom bought a condo in Park City.  It is a little closer to our house so it's fun to be able to bike to over to just say "hi."

Patches and Ruth are doing great!

The girls did a basketball camp for a week in June. They both loved it!

It was so great to have my mom come and visit for a week in June.  We hadn't seen her in over a year.

We love having the moose come and visit!

With the hot temperatures, going to the reservoirs is a must. For this trip, we went to the Jordanelle.

This was my mom's first time kayaking and paddle boarding!
