Scout Backpack Trip

Eric took the scouts on a backpack trip up Adams Canyon. He said it was really hard for some of the boys. They were gone 2 nights. The boys were tired and sore on Sunday after getting back and most of them did not think that it was fun. It was a very tough hike for them. Eric was pretty sore when he got home. The went on June 12 and cam home on the 14.

Long Family Parties








My family has a birthday dinner and party for each month. It is pretty fun, we all meet at moms and eat dinner, hang out, and eat cake. The kids love to play with their cousins. I love being close to family and being able to see them all the time. I am so thankful for my family. My sister Courtney is my best friend and I will be sad when she moves to Henderson Nevada. Her husband Greg got a conditional offer to be a police officer down there. He won't leave until winter of 2009. It is good for them but I will be sad.

Lagoon









We took the kids to Lagoon and spent the day on rides and having fun. The kids are getting old enough that they want to choose what rides they go on. We took Moienah on her first two rides. One was a kid tidal wave (I can't remember the name) and the other was the log ride. She liked it until she was splashed with the cold water. We went on rattlesnake rapids towards late afternoon and the kids got soaked. They were freezing, so after a few more rides we went home. We got home around 10:30 that night.
Lagoon is getting so expensive these days. The kids love it though and it is fun to see the joy on their faces.
