2011 Summer fun!

So It's been waaayyy too long since I've updated our blog. So I'm going to quickly cover a few months at a time. This summer we were able to meet Joels' sister and her hubby in Blanding, Utah for the 4th of July. First time for us. We camped out and went swimming at the lake nearby then drove high up the mountain to find a cooler camping spot. We brought along our rhino for some fun. We really tested out the rhino on some crazy rides, where we stalled in the middle of a jungle. Seriously, it was kind of scary. But thankfully we were able to give the rhino some time and it decided to start so we could head back to camp. We were able to enjoy a beautiful view of Blanding city's fire works. So close in fact, the ashes were falling on top of us. I ended up in the car with the kids, cuz we were scared. It was a pretty adventurous trip to Blanding, 2 flat tires on the way down, poopy diapers, lots of bugs on our rides. But it was all worth it.

The Jungle we got stranded in.

Many times this summer we were able to pull out the slip n slide. The kids and neighbors all enjoyed this fun activity. We even had people stop by to see if they could borrow it. Strangers! It made for some fun neighbor activities.



I also took the kids this summer to Liberty Park to play in the water. This is the first time I've been to Liberty park since I was a kid. It sure has changed a lot. The kids had such a blast. And the best part was it was free!! I highly recommend doing this activity with your kids. They have streams and waterfalls for them to play in.
