We spent Memorial Day weekend in Richfield. Who knew that there was a KOA right in downtown Richfield? Not I, but there is and we had a great time. We even saw Indiana Jones while we were there. Now you don't get to do that very often when you are camping. The guys got up one morning and went golfing at the local golf course. A little something for everyone! There was a great little park in the KOA, miniature golfing and great 4 wheeling trails that went on forever. It was a lot of fun. Sunday we drove to Fish Lake. None of us had been there and I don't think we realized how high the elevation was. There was still snow on the bank of the lake. We decided to try fishing anyways, but much to my dismay, we didn't catch any fish. But it was fun anyways- next time we'll go to Fish Lake mid July.
This top picture if of Shelb and Sage waiting to go on the trails. We had a great time 4 wheeling. It was fun too because my parents just bought a 4 wheeler and they were able to go with everyone. We had a great caravan!
Here's the kids playing miniature golf. I think the course must have been an eagle scout project or maybe something that one of the old people who work there built in their spare time. Either way, the kids loved it and Lexi earned the named of "Happy Gilmore" because she wound up and swung and hit her ball harder and farther on a miniature golf course that I think you are suppose to.
Sage and Ryder were together non stop. In between rides, they'd play games or color or just hang out. These two are great friends!
Sage was definately our outdoors girls this weekend. She loved going with Shane on the 4 wheeler and trying all new things. She has a great sense of adventure.
Libby spent her time walking around the campsite looking for dogs. There's nothing quiet about her and she'd get so excited to see them. Didn't want to get close to them, just wanted to see them from a distance. Everyone always knew where Libby was because she'd yell, "MOM" every two seconds, even if I was just a step away. She's attached to her mama!
I forgot to take pictures of the most eventful part of out trip- the ride home! We stopped in Orem for the girls to go to the bathroom and as we were pulling out of the gas station there was a big snap and the truck jerked back and we realized the the trailer hitch had broken. YIKES! It never came completely unattached but it slid to the back of the truck and sliced and badly dented Shane's tailgate on his truck. There was a dirt field next to the gas station so we slowly drove the trailer into the empty lot and spent the next hour trying to undo the hitch from the truck. We finally had to take the entire hitch out of the back of the truck and leave our trailer in Orem until we could get some help the following day. Shane was nervous about leaving it there all night so he went back to Orem and had a bachelor night by himself . Anyone see a crazy man having a campfire in a vacant lot off of the 800 N. Orem exit. That would've been my honey Shane! The dealer has been great to work with. It ended up being a manufacturer problem so they're taking care of everything including Shane's truck. I just feel blessed that Lexi had to go to the bathroom for the THIRD time on the way home so that it happened on a side street in Orem instead of on I-15 going 60 mph. We look forward to going again in a couple weeks with some friends from our neighborhood.
It's about time that I sit down and upate this blog. It seems that May has been so busy and now it's over! Where does the time go? I celebrated my 32nd birthday this month. Now really, where does the time go? My husband really has his work cut out for him because Mother's Day and my birthday are just a week apart, but he's always so good to me. Some of my good friends took me to Training Table for lunch, YUM YUM and then I had lunch with my 2 bestest friends that live in Highland. The above picture is me with them, Emily and Carrie. Em, I had the picture of cake on here but it got deleted somehow- oops! Em made me a cake and I loved it! Emily has been my best friend since I was 7 years old and Carrie and I were roommates in Arizona and she's been one of my best friends since then. Oddly enough, they both live in the same neighborhood and are friends too. So it's great that we can all get together- it's like my 2 worlds somehow collided. I love them!
My sister Katie has been in town from Florida for the past 3 weeks and so we had lots of family time the past few weeks. We pulled out the water slide for the first time this summer and the kids had a blast. The next picture is of my sister Leslie, my sister Katie, and sister in law Julieanne. They all had their babies within a month or so of each other. It was fun to see the little babies all together. It was fun to have Katie and her family here. Her girls are so cute and the cousins all had fun playing together.
We went to Wheeler Farm for a cousins birthday party and the kids had fun feeding the ducks, chasing each other around and of course milking the cows. But look out because if you stand too close to the cows back end you just might end up with a little surprise. YUCK!
We've been busy and school is out next week and the summer officially begins. I'm excited to have the girls home and to not have anything we have to do. The weather is slowly warming up and I've enjoyed being outside working in the yard and playing with the kids out back. They are all so full of energy, it's hard to keep up. I cherish my time with each of them and wish that time would stand still for just a moment-
