Camping Trip to Tony Grove

We went to Tony Grove in August for our family camp out. It was beautiful. Our boys enjoyed camping and loved having the dog with them. We went for a walk around the little lake and enjoyed climbing on all the rocks.
We drove down to Bear Lake and went for a quick swim. Then stopped and ate Bear Lake pizza. Yum. We also decided to go and visit Old Ephraim's Grave.
On our second night it started to rain. It was just pouring. We had a little river running through the middle of our tent. It was wet and cold and to top thins off the zipper on our tent door broke. We ended up moving all our things into the suburban and putting the seats down and sleeping in the suburban. I kept thinking how glad I was that we have a Suburban and not a minivan. We went home the next morning and were able to make it to a family party.

My West Bountiful Loving Boys

They were both wearing their I <3 WB shirts so I had them hold hands and smile. They are too dang cute and silly when it is time to go to bed.

Johnson Party

We went to my other grandma's 80th birthday party at my aunt's house. They had a trampoline and that is where my boys spent most of their time. They were so cute I had to take their pictures. It was great seeing the family and my brother and I even performed a song for a talent portion. It wasn't too bad I think.

Man vs Mud

Ken and two of my sisters and my brother-in-law all ran the man vs mud 5k at the Heritage Center in Wellsville. It is not a typical 5k. There were obstacle course involved as well as a lot of mud. Ken still had dirt in his ears the day after. A lot of mud. They all loved doing this so much that they want everyone to do it with them next year. Maybe I'll give it a go. 

Salamander Pond

We took the boys for an impromptu drive up Skyline Drive and stopped at the salamander ponds. Kenny brought along  his net so he could catch some salamanders for the boys to see. The water felt great. Even I got in all though you will notice there is no photographic evidence to prove that.

The boys had a better time pretending to be Ironman than in playing in the water. 

Ken caught a few babies for the boys to see and after playing for a while we released them back into the pond. It was a great afternoon. My favorite part was when the boys fell asleep on the ride home.

Hulse Party

We had a great party for my grandma's 80 birthday. Which was kind of a reunion as well. It was swell. They had a fish pond and a cake walk and my very talented sister did face painting. As you can tell from these pictures taken when we got home, my boys had a wonderful time.
