Hill AFB & Roy Museum







I took the kids to Hill AFB for a picnic and to walk around. It is fun looking at the planes. After we looked at all the planes we went over to the Roy Historical Museum, it was pretty fun. They have a game for the kids to play, where they have to find things throughout the museum, when they find everything they get a piece of candy. The kids thought that was fun.
The park on the museum grounds are beautiful, there is a waterfall, pond with bridge and beautiful flowers. It was a fun day.

Family Cabin Trip









So Eric's whole family went to Pete & Gwen's cabin for a few days. We had fun being with each other. On Saturday we went on a huge hike that wiped me out. I learned that I have never really learned to push myself to achieve something hard. I am not sure how to learn the skill of pushing past my limit.
On the hike the dogs went ahead and started barking wildly, we heard a loud noise and someone yelled bear so we all started running, Eric handed me the baby and I was shaking I was so scared. I couldn't see Moke or Hatosh and that terrified me. As we were going we heard a whistle and Lamar yelled that it was not a bear but a cow. We all got a good laugh over that.
I did indeed cry at a few points on the hike, I was exhausted and didn't think I could make it. Maheone was such a great motivator, she kept cheering me on. At the end little Moienah was getting cold and so I had to push on to get her to the truck and warmth.
I kept praying for strength and I truly believe the Lord was watching out for me and giving me that little extra to keep going.
We had a fun trip and I am thankful for the time we got to be with family. It is a blessing for the kids to be so close to their cousins and grand parents.
