The Long Drive Home

On our way home we decided to detour a bit and visit Arches National Park. We left early in the morning a few hours later. We drove thru the park and were able to see most of the major rock formations.

since we had Buddy with us, we had to take turns hiking to the viewpoint to see the Delicate Arch

Utah: 4th of July

I think it's now a tradition to spend the 4th of July at the Reeder's pool. We had so much fun swimming all day, eating yummy food, and then watching Mark light of fireworks!

my four cheese pizza, it was delicious!

Liam wasn't so sure about the sparklers

waiting for the fireworks to start!

Utah: Camping Fun

When Grandma Patty found out that Gigi had never been camping before, she planned a fun little camping trip to Payson Lake with my family. Here we are getting our tents set up...

and Grandma also brought nets so the kids could catch some bugs!

Peace out Payson Lake! It was a fun camping trip -- Gigi and Liam can't wait to go again next summer!
