Cabin Fun

The weekend after the 4th of July we went to Russ and Hollie's cabin with my family. Cooper had Cub Scout Camp so he and Collin stayed back and I took Bode and Peiton. We had a great time. Besides Collin and Coop, everyone in my family made it except for Alisha and Autumn (we missed you). Some where there for the whole time, some were only there for a short period of time, but it was great to be with everyone.

The weekend was spent by...

Playing on the swings

Riding 4-Wheelers

This is what Bode wanted to do the WHOLE time! He would either just sit on the 4-Wheeler and yell until somebody would take him. Once he got on he would not get off. If he heard the 4-wheeler turn on, he ran up and got on. He was pretty sneaky too, if he knew somebody was ready to go, say an adult and a child, he would run up and get on before that kid would get on. We are lucky enough that all the kids were so GREAT with him, they all knew that if someone was on the 4-wheelers, then Bode had to go. We had 3 so it wasn't too bad for everyone to share.

Some relaxing...well for some.

Snowbird

Collin's parents had a condo up at Snowbird for a week during July. We were able to go up and spend a night and day with them. The time spent with them consisted of, Alpine Slide, swimming, eating, more swimming and more Alpine Slide (Bode loved it). We were able to take the ski lift up to the top of the mountain and go through the tunnel that took you to the other side of the mountain. I am not a skier so I had no idea this even existed. This is pretty cool! The other side of the mountain is so beautiful too.

Here we are at the top with the view of the front side of the mountain.

Dinner time

Bode loved the brownies.

It is always so great to be up there with the fresh air away from everything. The mountains are beautiful and there is so much you can do. Thanks for a great mini get-away Holly and Charlie!

Catch up Five-Kennecott Copper Mine

Kennecott Copper Mine offered was offering a free admission one day, we thought we would check it out...well so did everyone else and their dogs! The place was packed! I think we were there a total of 15 minutes, although it did take us 10 minutes to walk from our cars to the museum and 10 to walk back, so I guess a total of 35 minutes. I think I am about done with Kennecott Cooper Mine, it is cool the first time, but not so cool the 2nd or 3rd time. :)

Grandma Bubba and Pei

Thats all folks! It is a wrap for Kennecott mines!

Catch up Four-Timpanogos Cave

Back in July Cooper and I hiked Timpanogos Cave for the first time. Grandma Holly wanted to take Cooper and I had never done it so I wanted to tag along as well. We had a great time. It was more than I expected, kind of claustrophobic at times and I hit my head quite a few times on the rocks, there are some spots that really don't work so well for tall people.

Looking at how much higher we have to go. :)

Ready to go into the cave.

Cooper and Grandma

All done! Cooper did awesome, he actually said he wanted to hike it again, and I think I would do it again as well. Thanks Grandma for the great time!

Catch up 3-This is the Place Monument

Every year we go to This is The Place Monument and we always have a great time. Each year the park gets better. I think it is well worth you money. The kids love it and by the end of the day they are beat and ready to sleep really good. :)

Here is the whole crew about ready to enter the park.

Goof-ball Coop

Pretty Pei

We get there and one of the first things they want to do is school work...or a craft, I am not sure what they are doing, I am thinking it is a craft.

The petting zoo is one of the most favorite parts of the park. Bode and Pei love it!

Coop too!

Bode's favorite part is the horse ride...can you tell he is pretty excited to get on his horsey?

Giddy-up Cowboy!

They have a miniature train that the kids love to ride, actually it is pretty fun to ride. Here is Pei and Grandma taking a spin.

Here is the lady that make it all happen! Thanks Mama!

About done for the day...riding the train (car) back to our final destination.

Here is to another great time at This is the Place Monument!
