OuR FIRST CaMPout

Last weekend we went CAMPING! Yes I said Camping! Ryan has been wanting to go, I think he had this memory of when he was a kid and having this amazing campout. So we finally planned it. We went to Palisade State Park just south of Manti.

We bought Ava a flashlight but she liked the one that Spencer let us borrow. She had it on all night and would not turn it off. It was easy to find her. That is my Cousin Lexie that Ava called her "friend". She would yell at us in the tent that she wanted to play with her friend. Isn't camping great ;)

James, Seth and Anne . . . Chillen.

Yeah that was our campfire. They don't let you have a fire pit so we had to go buy a Fire Pit at Wal Mart. Ryan was mad that he couldn't use his fire making skills (we bought those fire logs that you lite and they last all night).

This was in our tent. It was sooo HOT.


This was at the lake by the campground. It got really windy and Ava about had a heart attack. Ryan had to hold her and all our stuff so it wouldn't blow away.


I went and rented this boat for the day. It was very entertaining! It was only a Peddle boat, cause they don't allow Motorized Boats on the little Lake. I think the top Speed was 2mph!





Yeah there was a golf course right by our campground. If it wasn't for the mosquitos it would have been so nice. They golfed 9 holes in the morning and then came for lunch and hung out at the lake with us. Then after a few hours they went and played 18 more. That was the only way we got my Dad to go camping. He says it was camping from Sun down to Sun up, he had a point.

Ava loves the golf carts. She drove one at the Provo High golf tournament with Ryan and loved every second of it.

My brother Seth when he was little walked around like this all the time, he would tell everyone
"The Sun is in my EARS"

The Manti Temple was so pretty.



Camping... Fun... a LOT of WORK!!... Really Dirty!... I just don't think its for us!

The Living Planet Aquarium

On Saturday we went to
The Living Planet Aquarium
It's the one that used to be at Gateway, but they moved to Sandy. We went with Ryan's sister Amy, her husband Eric and their girls Olivia and London and Ryan's youngest sister Rachel. It was Fun, we thought it would be bigger, but I guess they are still working on everything, sense they just moved. But we still had a lot fun and the girls really loved it.

SmORes @ the Fire Pit

While we were up in Salt Lake this weekend at Ryan's Families house We Built a Fire and made Smores! Ryan's Parents Backyard is really neat, the Emigration Creek runs right threw there Backyard, and they put a Fire Pit in. So it feels like your Camping without having to go Camping (that's what I'm talking about).

And Watching the Girls eat Smores was Pretty Funny!

ReAL Salt Lake


A couple months a ago we were driving home from Salt Lake and the ReAL Salt Lake Mascot "Leo the Lion" was driving on his Motorcycle, I am SO awesome at taking photos that I was able to capture that amazing Picture going 65 MPH! (We always drive the speed limit).



Last week Ryan got Really good tickets to the ReAL Salt lake Soccer game from a guy at work. They were Front Row ~ 50 yard line! (I know there is no 50 yard line in soccer... but you know... center field) So we went and Ryan's family watched Ava for us. We had a lot of fun...



(We sat RIGHT behind the ReAL Salt Lake Coaches.)




Apparently so did Ava. They took her over to the ward party, and the girls wanted to get a face painting... but Eric and Spencer thought they needed there whole faces painted!
(Naomi Parker... you did a awesome job! The girls loved it)
