Summer fun has begun..

So summer has begun officially (we are about 3 weeks into summer vacation) and already lots of fun family memories have taken place. BBQ's with family and friends, going to the Drive-in to see Night of the Museum 2, camping at Heise Hot Springs, Jeni, ben's sister came to visit and we had a "girls night with Allie, we've ate lots of smores in our backyard around the fire pit, we've made at least 10 trips to the snow shack, we've had lots of late nights watching movies, golfing (with the kids), took the boat out (to see if it would run.. and it didn't! LOL), hanging at the skate park (watching ben and cody trying to be younger than they are),  picnics at the park and more! Oh and did I mention Braden, our oldest, broke his foot? (hasn't stopped him from golfing everyday with his friends though). Our most recent adventure was taking Braden and 7 of his friends to Lagoon down to Utah. It's a theme park about 3 hours away.. and Braden thought it would be fun to drive down for the day and go to Lagoon then camp at the campground connected to it that night. We ended up taking Allie and Preston and two of their friends as well, with a total of 12 kids in all! We had to drive two cars.. in order to bring all the kids... and ben pulled our camp trailer, so we and the girls had something to sleep in, while the boys slept outside in tents. It was a LOTof fun! We have decided to take Ethan and Noah to Lagoon by themselves next week, for a day trip.. because they were too little to come on this one. It should be fun! We also have a camping trip planned for next weekend to Palisades Lake.. and I have to tell you i AM SO SOO excited for that trip. We live only about 1.5 hours away from that Lake (actually a few lakes)and yet we have never camped at any of them. We live 2 hours away from West Yellowstone and have never taken our kids through that park either! Can you believe it? So this summer we have alot of camping trips planned.. we always go camping to other places.. but never around here.. and we live so close to so many beautiful lakes, mountains.. rivers.. etc.. so this is the year!

Here are a few pictures of what we have been up to this summer!

Hope you are enjoying your summer..

fun summer activities with the family! Palisades is fun, but the water is cold...Ririe and Blactail is a bit warmer :) we usually prefer to go there! you should let us know when you do go boating,(if you get it running) we have an older one too, it would be fun to meet up & play!
