Neighborhood visitor

The bear are everywhere this year.  We had a new neighbor move in this past week...he caused a lot of excitement!

Home

We made it home....exhausted and worn out, but we made it!

BYU Basketball Camp

Nathan spent one week at BYU Basketball Camp.  This was the only picture I was "allowed" to take!  He had a great time and learned a lot, but really wished his friends were there with him!!!

Utah Lake

Our last morning in Utah was spent out on the lake.  We went with both my sisters and their families.  The boys had a great time and we soaked up our last bit of hot sun!  Joshua even did the knee board.  Nate was too cold!

Park City

We spent a whole day at Olympic Park in Park City.  It was a BLAST!  We finally had to leave when the park closed!

It was great fun just watching the athletes train.  Amazing that they can do it in the middle of the summer with no snow!

We rode the lift up to the top many times for the Alpine Slide and Zip line.

There was a ropes course that the kids loved and of course Grandma, Aunt Katie and I had to try....it was a lot harder than it looked!

We found another zip line towards the end of the day.  You zip lined over to a big tower and then they hooked you up and you jumped off the tower.  CRAZY!  I volunteered to be the picture taker for this one!

Friends!

We had a chance to catch up with some friends.  We got to spend an afternoon with The Bowen's (friends from Alaska who recently moved to Idaho).  Josh was in heaven, but was sad after the second goodbye's.  We also did a lot with the Stringham's (friends we met in Iowa, who are now family).  Josh and Izzy spend some time playing basketball and hanging out!

Yummy Food

We created a list of places we had to eat while we were in Utah.  It was really long and I am sure my family is glad I am gone, for that reason only.  Here is a few pictures:  Chicken Taquitos (at a really yummy place in Provo), Sushi from Happy Sumo, and ice cream made from liquid nitrogen at Sub Zero!
