Flaming Gorge

We had the best time at Flaming Gorge with the Fenton family.
We stayed at Rocky Ridge Outpost.  It was awesome!
My parents rented a cabin and a teepee and then we seemed to have the rest of the place to ourselves. 
We played tether ball, croquet, card and dice games, fished the lake, rode a paddle boat on the lake, went shooting, roasted s'mores and floated the Green River.
Thank you mom and dad for a fun weekend!!!  It was so great to all be together.
(minus Bub's fam and Steve) :(
Our kids cried when it was time to go...a sign of a good vacation!

Owen carried his fox chair everywhere.





Ry had great success fly fishing.








We fit all the kids in the truck to go shoot some pot guts.

Uncle Ryan shot a rabbit along the way.

I am not sure who had more fun...the adults or the kids. 







Owen found this bone which I quickly threw away when he wasn't looking.

Megan brought a fun craft.

Sasha made us a yummy and healthy apple crisp.  


My mom organized a super fun scavenger hunt.



We celebrated Ryan's birthday while we were there.  We love Uncle Ryan!

 Liv took a hard fall and Daniel was cute and "treated" her leg.

William playing peek a boo.  Love those pjs!


I didn't take my camera down the Green river so I snapped this pic before we left.  
It took 3 rafts & 3 hours.  It was the highlight of our trip.

Owen was exhausted and feel asleep within seconds of getting back in the car.

 Beauty clinic was a must!



Winston made this awesome licorice rope bracelet.

swing batter


Dru has been paying softball all summer long.  She has a great coach with cute girls on her team.  They all are beginners so it has been fun to watch the progress.  They have come a long way!
Dru plays 2 base and outfield.  



Dru's good friend Olivia is on her same team.

Soccer camp

Rylie went to soccer camp this week and absolutely loved it!
The instructors were all from England and made it so fun for the kids.


Rylie with her coach Sam.







Everyday at the end of class the coaches handed one award to a player who was "inspirational."
Rylie received the award on Friday!!!
She wanted to win this award and worked really hard.
It was pretty exciting when they called her name.

Aunt Kim

Aunt Kim stayed with us for a week while my parent's were in Philadelphia with my brother's family.  We loved having her stay with us.  She was so helpful and darling with our kids.  
We LOVE Aunt Kim!



The 4th

This 4th of July we celebrated with the Bell family!
My parent's were out of town so we headed to their home for roomier conditions.
Georganne and Standford have 4 cute kids that get along well with ours.  Standford was in training so it was just Georganne and the kids.

We threw water balloons.


We hid a bunch of flags around the yard and had the kids find them.

We drew patriotic things with chalk.


We made towers with gumdrops and toothpicks.  


We ate a lot of popsicles.  It was SO HOT!!!

Georgeanne made her famous cookies.
She is amazingly talented!!
Google her.

We all got a chance to hold sweet Penelope.
