Father's Day Special

I was lisetning to the radio and heard of a contest that they were doing for Father's Day. It was so simple to enter, I just couldn't resist. A few days later I got a phone call saying that they had selected my name (or Aaron's rather). The contest was for 25 guys to play musical chairs for a Bullfrog Spa. Nice! Can't go wrong there. It was held at Boondocks and they would give us 4 passes for the day so if anything it would be a nice Saturday with the family! It was actually very entertaining. Kind of funny to see all these grown men playing musical chairs. There were men of all ages. Aaron didn't win unfortunatley but he was a good sport to do this! The guy that actually ended up winning (darn guy) was the man in the orange shirt.
So we had the day to stay and play with the unlimited pass they gave us. My mom and dad and Brooke came with us and my parents were so kind to watch the kids while we played. This is us on the bumper boats. I got drenched by Aaron and Braden. Don't worry - I'll get them back one day when they least expect it!
Then we had a few races around the track. I think I had a headache for 3 days because of all the fumes I was breathing in. (Even though in this picture Brooke is ahead of me, it doesn't mean that she beat me.) Then we played a game of laser tag and OF COURSE, Aaron got the highest score. Go figure! Though I have beat him at laser tag before!!

Braden was busy with grandpa playing all the games he could with the 50 tokens he had. So grandma had her hands full with Austin who was very busy himself crawling everywhere and trying to climb in the play zone. He honestly thinks he is 5 and can climb where everyone else is. We had a fun day. Thanks to Aaron for being a good sport and grandma and grandpa Smith for playing with the kids so we could be kids at heart for a few hours. Too bad we didn't come home with a new spa . . . . . . maybe next year, Aaron!

Second Trip!

This trip out we went for 4 days. First off we went to Manti to see the Pageant there. Besides the mosquitos, we had a really enjoyable time. We camped at a place just on the other side of the temple so we were able to walk to the pageant that night and avoid the traffic.

Then we headed out the next day to Yuba Lake. We had fun on the boat and the wave runner. Austin really gets around. We played on the beach and the second I set him down on the sand/dirt he would crawl right toward the lake. Water does not frighten him, not even when it's cold. And the best part about the boat was that when the kids were tired, it lulled them right to sleep!

First trip!

We finally took the trailer out for the first time a few weeks ago.  We had a great time!  This is Braden on a pretty sweet tree swing.  He lives for taking the trailer out.  He was so excited.  We always have a good time as a family when we go camping.  As you can see, even Austin loves it!
