Antelope Island Hike

Ready to go!!

Huge! Yucky Spider!!!

First Break Weather finally Cleared out!

About 2 Hours into the Hike...Anyone see lightning?

"Dad, My head is heavy..." "Ok Hop on...."

Hi!.....My name is Dani!

Antelope roaming, they were Big, kinda scary to get close to them, picture does not show it, but their horns were higher then our heads.......

5 Hrs later, water gone, and having to Run to make it back before dark, the girls did an awsome job! Yes they have red faces, but seriously after more than 10 miles hiked I dont blame them!! I love you girls!!

Hi!

What?

Smile Please.....Come on Tess!

Summertime!

The old man is a good sport

Ryan is such a good sport.  The last few years the reunion has fallen on his birthday.  No different this year, but the next day (Monday), we celebrated with his mom (her day was the coming Wednesday) and had a party.

Britti the one eyed wonder.

Dani making a splash.

I don't think Nica has enough speed to jusitfy closing her eyes.

Opi was the hit of the night.

The older crowd.

Jordan claims to be a bit goofy when it comes to physical skills. 

She proved herself wrong.

So Old

Ry is getting so old. If only he knew it. Here's his beautiful leg after a mountian bike crash.
This pic is after a long spell with an ice pack wrapped around using an ace bandage.  It looks like his blood froze in his veins!

Ryan does not have an ounce of fat in his body.  So when he had cankles we knew it was a major injury!

.

Thanks Oma and Opa!

My parents came home from their trip to Germany on the 16th around 10:30 and were up to the cabin for the party the next day.  That is one commited daughter!  We of course were showered with souveniers.  Didn't get a pic of mine, Dani's or Ry's, but these two found a way to display some of them.

The Family Reunion (Lava style)

So after I got home Friday, we fixed the sprinklers (love that Ryan has that skill), and Saturday we headed up to Lava for the annual reunion (and my Grandma's 80th bday party). 

One of my Aunt's is so clever when it comes to words.  She wrote a song for my Grandma to the tune of the Brady Bunch.  My other Aunt made a fun game, and with Grandma's sense of humor things usually end near the hysterical side.

Also FYI, emily's tips for dutch oven fried scones made them, delish!

Girls Camp

Girls camp was at lake Lyman.  I arrived on Wednesday and left Friday morning.  It was a blast and thankfully Kayla didn't dump us into the leech filled lake.

Happy Birthday to Me!

So, on July 5th I worked the fireworks tent.  I was packing up and at 12:04 am I got a birthday call from a couple of little munchkins.  After we were done at around 12:30 we headed home.  This is what I came home to.....

Loved it!

I know, we all look lovely.  Remember that this is nearing 1 am, and that camera's and late nights add 10 lbs and lots of wrinkles!  Yeah right.
