July

This 4th of July was like no other, but we still found ways to party!  We went camping with the Henlines the few days before, it was beautiful!  But so cold!

Then on the 4th we went up to Grandma and Grandpa's land and rode 4 wheelers, did some archery, had a barbecue and hung out with our family. 

And then that night we went and watched the fireworks on top of the church parking lot.  It was a perfect view of the valley and we could see so many fireworks.

The girls and dad had the chance to go to a modified 2-day Girls camp and so Soran and I went to the aquarium with Aunt Xela.  Dad and the girls rode jet skis, boats, did crafts, had a testimony meeting and enjoyed being with other people!  Oh, and dad got sunburned to a crispy critter.

For Aunt Xela's birthday we went camping at Mill Hollow Creek.  It was absolutely beautiful.  We hiked, went paddle boarding, made tie dyed shirts, told scary stories and hung out in the hammocks.  The weather was perfect and we enjoyed being away from the heat.

Grandma Thompsons birthday!  We went out to eat with the adults for kickin' Cajun!

And then this girl got married.  Alyssa was a beautiful maid of honor and helped a lot that day!

My girls (Soran is off somewhere eating some food.)

And then the highlight of the summer--we went to Bear Lake!  We borrowed Taylor's boat and headed to a nice cabin for a few days.  We tubed, skied, had famous raspberry shakes, watched a movie in the theater room, rode scooters and had a fire with s'mores.  It was a great way to end the summer.
