Meteor Shower

When Anna was gone we watched the meteor shower and we saw lots of deer. Every time a car came by we saw lots of deer in their lights. I was a little afraid so I sat on the car so they couldn't reach me. We saw with our eyes twenty meteors. It was dark and we brought our telescope but dad couldn't get it to see through. On our way home we got some ice cream. It was lots of fun!

Camp Cloud Rim

Camp Cloud Rim was fun! My camp name was Petunia. I went swimming, funoeing and paddle boating. There was a floating dock that was really fun and lots of fish. My favorite counselor was Bear because she was the nicest and the first one that I met. My most favorite thing about camp was swimming because it was the funnest. The water was cold but it was still very fun. They canceled the polar dip which I was kind of hoping for but we still got credit for doing it because the water was super cold when we swam in it. My camp buddy was Shark we had lots of fun together.

Off to Camp

This is the most excited we've seen Anna all summer. We took her up to Girl Scout camp last night and dropped her off. She was a little nervous and hugging her teddy bear as we drove away but she couldn't stop giggling because she was so excited to be there. Now, while she is having a blast canoeing, swimming, eating a floating lunch, doing crafts, singing, etc. we are at home missing her and counting down the days until we get to go pick her up again. Saturday can't come soon enough!

Taking Time

One of the things we enjoy doing as a family is to take the time to find lesser known, possibly out of the way attractions. These adventures usually lead us to some of the most interesting and enjoyable places that we've been too. In Ogden that adventure was a small fort named Fort Bueneventura. It sat next to a small pond and they offered canoe rentals, $5.00 for an hour. When we take the time to slow down and smell the flowers we find all kinds of great things to enjoy.

Happy Birthday Bryce

I had a great birthday. It started out at about 2:00 AM with an old west style shoot out across the street. I even got a stray bullet in the side of my house as a birthday gift (I love my neighborhood).

Later that day we went to Kennecott Copper Mine. We had a blast looking down into the pit and learning all about copper. I ended the day with a barbecue (finally) using the new tools my kids got me. Man, I wish it could be my birthday everyday!
