Fehr Lake

 We went for an overnight backpacking trip to Fehr Lake in the Uintas Friday night with the Stapleton grandparents and cousins Maya and Sofia.  It was chilly, but that meant no mosquitos, which was awesome.  Activities included our usual of digging in the dirt, throwing rocks in the water, mini hikes with the cousins, playing in the tent, and fishing.

 The adults would cast out and then the kids would reel back in.  Sophie won the prize for the most seaweed caught, which is all that anyone caught.

 Those are some pretty awesome dance moves.

Park City Weekend

This weekend we took a mini vacation to Park City.  A big thank you to Aunt Joan and Uncle John for use of their condo!  
We went to the Olympic Training Park and got to watch aerial practice; it was awesome.

 The boys playing pinball at the museum.  It was fun to see the Tristan Gale memorabilia since I actually know her from high school.  We were going to go on a tour, but figured the boys attention span wouldn't be able to handle it.

 We ate out dinner both nights.  Drinking soda is serious business, and also serious bathroom stops.

 We spent plenty of time cuddling and watching TV
 We took the gondola and chair lift up at the Canyons and then hiked up there.  Who doesn't love a hike that has chairs to rest in half way through? 
 The boys thought the gondola and chairlifts were awesome!

 On the verge of being the highlight of the trip were the killer deals we found at Kindersport which was going out of business.  I got ski helmets and goggles and sunglasses and gloves for 80% off.  For once, we are actually excited for winter to come.  Snowmobiling here we come!
We hit the outlet malls as well, but didn't have much success except for these sweatshirts.
 Chairlift up to the Alpine Slide
 The alpine slide was fun, but the roller coaster was by far my favorite.  Next time we go I'm going to skip the slide and just buy an all day pass to the roller coaster, and then stay there all day long.  I haven't had that much fun or rush for a long time.

Labor Day

 These are our tomato plants.  I have learned my lesson not to plant them so close together because we have a mini jungle.

 At the farm with our friend Owen.
 For Labor Day I hiked Lake Mary with my mom.  The boys were so excited to go.  I'm unsure if the excitement is from liking to hike or the bottle of gatorade I give them.
They sure do love their grandma!
