Summer Fun

CAMPING AT WILLOW FLATS
Every year in June my family usually heads to Bridger Lake in the Uintahs.  This year some friends of ours asked if we wanted to go to Willow Flats in Idaho for some camping.  Aaron was all for going but I was torn since it was the same week we go to Bridger.  We decided after many many years (like 15ish) that we were going to try a new spot.  I don't think my mom was to happy with our decision but my brother ended up getting invited to Lake Powell with some of their friends and decided to go with their friends since they had never been to Lake Powell. Long story short after lots of contemplating on my mom's part, they decided to cancel at Bridger and head to Willow Flats along with my sister's family.  We also had both Aaron's mom and dad there to join with us.  It was more of like a family reunion with our friends.  They get a group site every year and so they were fine with the whole shabang coming. (at least we think so :)  We did some trail riding, playing and fishing in the river, hanging out at camp, enjoying yummy food and enjoying somewhere new.  I think we will head back to Bridger next year though.  I think my dad and brother in law missed having a lake to go fish in.
                                        Mack and Wyatt being crazy!

                                          Megan and Kennady

Mack being a show off :)  He loved to show us his muscles and it was the cutest thing ever!

                   We did a little hiking and Sydnee fell asleep on the way

Grandpa Ed thought it was okay to introduce chocolate licorice to Sydnee- what?????? I let her suck on it for a minute and then it went bye bye.

                                                       STUD!

                                TO CUTE!!  Sydnee and her cousin Eliza

Megan loved to hold Sydnee when she could get a chance and she even put her to sleep.

This boy loves to fish!  Everywhere we go he always wants to fish.  His Grandpa Ed took him fishing whenever Wyatt would ask and they would be gone for hours.

The kids had fun playing in the river next to our camp.  They decided to have a water fight and after Aaron thought he was done and was relaxing in camp, Kennady came up behind him with a bucket of water and got him good.

4TH OF JULY
Somehow this year we got nominated to have a get together in our back yard on the 4th of July.  We blew up our water slide, and had a slip-n-slide for the kids to cool off and get wet.  We had cafe Rio for dinner (MMMMMMMMM!!!!!) We played the Muppet's on a big screen when it got dark, the kids did sparklers, had Popsicles, ran around, and we were also able to watch the Farr West fireworks from our backyard.

BOATING
This was the first time taking the boat out for the summer.  We wanted to make sure everything was running good before we headed off for Lake Powell.  The kids had fun as always tubing, wake boarding, and just jumping off the boat and playing in the water.

 What is that?  I couldn't help BUTT get a snap shot of this......sorry to all of you:)

FUN AT AUNT JOCIE'S
Usually every year the Stewart's always get together at Jocie's for some water fun.  She blows up their big water slide, we all bring snacks and treats to share and the kids run wild!
