PALISADES!!!

We just got back from a GREAT 5 days with FAMILY at Palisades. It has become one of our favorite trips of the year. We always have way TOO much fun, LAUGH way TOO hard, and get Way TOO CRAZY!!

WE ALWAYS HAVE FUNN!!!

No get ready for MAJOR picture taking, just too much to catch on CAMERA..but I tried!! So here goes

First the CRAZY KIDS!!

With their GREAT-GRANDMA BETTIE (in hat) what a TROOPER she was!!

Grandma on the PADDLE boat!!

NOW the WAY to CRAZY part or PERSON "BRIDGER."

He is always up for a GOOD time and a GOOD LAUGH!!

Forgot to mention a GOOD BROKEN ARM and WINDOW!!!

Me and Calvin even squeezed some alone time in and went golfing. Me not so good, Calvin not much better but we had fun. The GUYS spent a lot of time golfing over the weekend and seemed to always get PAR, maybe someone should teach them how to GOLF!!

4-Wheeling!!!

Calvins cousin joined us this year and they fit in great, and can joke around with the best of us, we were glad they came into the CRAZINESS!

JUSTIN on 4-wheeler (not flipping bird) that would be ZACH!!!

DUCK RACES!!!

Coming in a TRUE first MY DUCK !!!

TREASURE HUNTING!!

MOST OF ALL SWIMMING !!!

We also did tye dye which I did not get on camera but you can see some of the results in a few pictures, way fun!! Thanks to everyone for making this year just as great as LAST!!

SCOTTIES in TOWN !!!

When JOSH (aka scottie), KRISTA, & JAYLIE are in town you know you are in for a good time and a good laugh!! We were so excited to see them and the girls could not wait to see JAYLIE...we wont tell but Calvin was a little excited to see JOSH too. We miss them but are glad that they will still come to visit, next time it's us in WASHINGTON to visit...hold us to it GUYS!!!

Riding the BOAT, KINDA fishing, just enjoying!!

So I said you are always in for a good time, right, well Josh decided to catch a few "ROCK CHUCKS". Saige had been trying with no luck so JOSH came to help. Him and Calvin rigged some snare things with fishing line, put a few chips for bait and WAIT. Well the wait was not long Josh got one on the first try (missed a picture). Then Calvin and Saige got in on the action too.

Check out the TRAP!!

WAIT!!

SUCCESS!

NOTE: NO rock chucks were harmed!! It was all catch and release!!

Jaylie BUG!!

Krista's turn!!

Josh's turn!!

The "BIG ONE" fishing was a little slow, so I'm told, but worth it when you catch one like this!!

Playing in the water and CRABBING for CRAWDADS!!

Cute little BUNS, she didn't want me to take a picture!!

We decided to take a little hike that we have enjoyed in the past and thought that Josh and Krista would enjoy it, put our feet in the stream take a few pictures and enjoy a pretty little spot......BUT about 5 minutes into our hike this happened,

so our hike came to a QUICK stop and back to the trailer to INVESTIGATE and see how bad it really was. Well it was bad enough to come home a day early and head to the DOCTORS for THREE stitches:(

Not fun but she is so dang TUFF!! She was amazing at the doctors, I thought that we would be holding her down with tears and screaming, not one peep. She was VERY NERVOUS but BRAVE. I was worried about a bad scar, it was little but on that pretty face I did not want a

HUGE SCAR!!!

Well since our trip ended a day early Josh and Krista stayed here, We had BAJIO (Josh's FAV), Watched Bachelorette (Me and Krista), and tried not to let a few STITCHES spoil the fun!!

Can't wait until next time!!!

THANKS FOR A GREAT TIME!!

Park City & *4th of JULY* !!!

Every year Calvin's family goes up to Park City for a few days and this year it happen to be over the Fourth of July. It was a fun time and the girls LOVE to spend time with there cousins.

Our Family

After a ride up the ski lift, it was a beautiful view.

The CREW minus Bronson (taking picture)

We spent the majority of the time at the POOL it was a little chilly but that was not going to stop the kids so we braved it and still had FUN!!

POOL pictures..

Cali and Kenna loved to sit in the HOT POOL!!

The Slide was a big hit took some getting used to but then we could not stop them! Even Calvin got in on the action.

The night before the 4th we had fun painting nails and doing FANCY hair dos they looked sooo cute.

Oakley Parade

Well we could not let the 4th go bye without a Parade so we headed up to Oakley to watch the parade, it was small town and GREAT the kids got candy, saw some horses, saw beauty queens (on horses) and did I mention Candy...

so what more could you ask for?

Calvin would say it was the PERFECT parade,

short and SWEET!!!

A few pictures from the parade.

After the parade we went to Bronson and Stephs, they took us on a ride up the canyon on the Rangers, forgot pictures but we saw where all the MAGIC began for Brons and Steph. HAHA!!

We finished the night off with a few fireworks at the hotel...all in all a great day LOW KEY and GREAT!!

ALPINE SLIDE!

What is a trip to Park City without riding the Alpine Slide!! It is always a great time although next time we are riding the

COASTER it looks way FUN!!

This is what one long weekend will do to a GIRL!!

This is the TWO AMAZING people that make this all possible and work so hard to make it a great vacation and fun for the kids. Thanks we had so much fun and really appreciate it.
