July

We started he month off with the Borgstrom reunion. This year we did a staycation. Grandma and Grandpa set up their camper in Sarah and Jim's backyard. We set up some shade tents. We had a great time! We went up to Causey Dam and paddle boarded and cliff jumped. We went and swam at Joys pool, went for a hike, went rock climbing, did some crafts, and played games. It is so fun spending time 
with family! We went to the lake a few times. On the last time in I backed the boat down and waited for them to start the boat, then I went and parked the trailer. I walked down to the dock, but it was taking a while so I went to the restroom. When I came out kids were jumping/being thrown out of the boat. Viv was the only kid still in the boat, she refused to be thrown out! Abbie and Ellie had ropes and were towing the boat back to shore. So I ran up and got the trailer and we got the boat back on it. While we looked at the boat, the kids went over to the beach to swim for a bit. We don't know what is wrong with the boat, but it was taking on a lot of water, Grandma was worried it was going to sink, hence the throwing of the kids! So we tried to get as much water out of it as possible. Crazy boat trip.
We went for a few bike rides, Spork and Powder Mountains Brim are my favorite. I wish it didn't take so long to get to them. The Riverdale parkway is fun with all the kids. Wesley saved Vivian's life on that trail! We started in Riverdale and headed north. At the very beginning you cross the road then go over a bridge, there is a small space right before the bridge where a little bike can go right off the little cliff into the the river. Just as Vivian was about to go off said cliff, Wesley jumped off his bike and grabbed her! He was so fast, it could have been a disaster!
We also went and played frisbee golf a few time!
Jaycee did soccer in the mornings, but our afternoons were pretty much open, next month Wesley starts having football in the evenings.
We had a great month, and we packed all the things into it!

Huntington Lake

We love our trips to Huntington Lake. This year we went into Capital Reef for a drive. We saw some petroglyphs and the Little Grand Canyon. Definitely worth the drive! It was fun taking Penny along on the trip, she did not love the water.

FSY

We sent the oldest two to FSY(for strength of youth) for the week. It was so weird without them around! Wherever they go you can bet there will be a handful of cousins around. They had fun, Wesley more then Jaycee. Jaycee actually didn't like it very much, but she went and stayed, so there is that.😀 I heard Wesley got up and bore his testimony twice in one meeting.
