Moon Lake 2017

We are making up for lost trips this summer.😀  So many years of limited camping and travel equals a summer full of trips. We went to Moon Lake during the middle of June. It was fun having the Millers join us for dinner Friday night!

These pictures are all out of order but we were there from Thursday night to Saturday morning. We got all settled in Thursday night. Luckily it was still light until late so it gave the kids time to play and collect fire wood. Kaden found dozens of army guys in the sand in one of the tent sites.

Friday we went for a hike and explored the trail by the lake in the morning. We played on the sandy beach all afternoon. The sand was beautiful and soft. The water was freeeeeeezing!

Saturday morning I went for a long run to explore the trail. We thought we heard their was a trail around the lake. We had opposing reports though because some said the trail only went around part of the lake. I had two hours before I needed to be back to camp so I set my timer for one hour and started running. I got all the way past the lake and the trail kept heading north. I kept waiting for a bridge or something to cross the river but I couldn't find one. I got to this look out after 45 minutes. I could see I wouldn't be coming to a bridge in the next fifteen minutes so I enjoyed the view and then turned around. The river was very full and it didn't look safe to try and cross it on my own.

There were lots of trees down and these are pictures of some trees blocking the trail. I felt like I was doing a Spartan race and I tried to climb over and get past them.

Real Monarchs

You can't find a better pass than the Pass of all Passes. We went to the Real Monarchs game Monday night with our passes. We had seats close to the field and in the shade.

We have been watching the show Random Acts on BYU TV. A few days after going to the game we watched an episode where they surprised a man with tickets to a Real game. My kids thought it was so cool seeing the stadium where we had just been.

This was our half time selfie.

Heart Healthy

Lynnlee had her annual check up with her cardiologist. Her EKG and check up went so well that she didn't need an echocardiogram. Oh how grateful we are for her excellent health!

Cub Scout Day Camp

James participated in his first cub scout day camp. They went to the Porter Rockwell camp in Lehi. It was two full days of carving, rope tying, archery, games, and crafts.

Hiking the Y

James wanted to hike the Y fast and it worked out that we could go with Ali and Katelyn. We hiked quicker than last time but I think he forgot how steep it is.

The trails was being remodeled last summer and it is all complete now. There are lots of helpful, informative signs along the way. At the top there are benches and picnic tables.

Collier Family Reunion

We left Bear Lake Saturday and went to Smithfield for the Collier family reunion. It was a fun filled day of activities and meals. It is not easy planning those but I'm so grateful they do so my kids can meet their second cousins.

James showed the minis the dab.

The minis love babies but aren't around them much so it's really fun to watch them.

Grandpa and Grandma Collier are amazing. They are so happy and great examples of enduring.
