The Heber Creeper

My sister came to visit last month from North Carolina and while she was here we took our little three year olds to ride the Heeber Creeper. What a beautiful ride. The boys loved it and I loved the peaceful scenary.

Boating on Utah Lake

This summer our friends invited us to join them tubing out on Utah Lake. I have never been on that lake before so I was excited to go. We had a blast. We tubed, laughed and swam in the lake. The kids had a wonderful time and it was nice to enjoy the cool water on a hot day.

AF Canyon

We have some wonderful friends who own a super cool Mini-Winnie and we all went camping together this summer up American Fork Canyon. I'm not much of a camper but this really was a fun trip despite being spooked in the night by what we think was a moose. We made campfire dinners, had smores, and carved our names in the trees.

Hiking the Y

This summer our family made our first trek up the Y together. What an amazing view. When I was a student at BYU I never did the hike and now I wished I had. It was neat to share that with the kids and now when we drive by and see the Y on the mountain they can know they were there.

Mooooo

As always, our family looks forward to the Chick-fil-a tradition. In July they ask customers to dress up as cows and as a reward they give you free food. My kids love it and I love the chicken!

Alaska

Back in July we had the amazing opportunity to go to Alaska with some wonderful friends. It really was the trip of a lifetime. I did so many things that were out of my comfort zone and I loved every minute of it. Alaska was truly breathtaking and my most favorite spot of the trip was Seward, Alaska. It was postcard perfect.
