the great oudoors

For a complete "city girl" who married an "outdoor boy", I had to make sure and document some of our family outdoor adventures. These adventures are not nearly long enough or as frequent enough as my outdoor boy would like, but none the less, at least they happen on occasion.

We went to the mountains one night for fantastic food, fun and friends. Our neighbors the Gillen's made the trip with us and we had such a fun time.

I have to admit nothing tastes better then tin foil dinners cooked over an open fire. And it always amazes me that marshmallows taste so good in the mountains. I don't really care for marshmallows in "everyday life." But put me outside over a fire and I can't get enough.

This little outing reminded how beautiful it is where I live. We are lucky to live so close to such beauty. It was so nice to be outdoors and enjoy nature for a couple of hours. And it was even nicer to come home, take a shower, and sleep in my clean bed!

4th of july...and yes i know it is September

As you can see keeping up with my blogging is obviously something way to hard for me to handle, so as a result you are getting a taste of summer in September



We had a crazy and event filled 4th of July this year. Family came up from California and we had a family event bonanza. We went to the Kaysville Parade...a must!



Here we are enjoying the parade and some fun family time.



Here are all of the "Bull Girls". Can you tell "one of these things is not like the other?" Everyone is the exact same size...and oh wait there is Shaundee's head a full foot above everyone else. Sorry babe...you married a giant!



All of the grandchildren (except Amanda who was in the parade) in their cute shirts from grandma and grandpa.



Family pool time. Everyone swam until they were exhausted. I think my kids could live in the water and be happy.

So there is our very late, but nonetheless fun and enjoyable post about the day our country was born. At least I finally got it documented...hooray!
