The Rest of Our Summer...So Far

Oh boy, we've both been pretty busy this summer. There's not a lot of pictures, so no proof, but we really have been :)



Mark decided to go to school this summer which turned out surprisingly great and didn't make summer as dull as I thought it would be. He's sure is an excellent student, and I'm so glad he's been enjoying it so much-makes me feel a lot less badly for him since he likes doing his homework so much. He's learned a lot about HTML and all that kind of stuff which I've made him talk about when I can't sleep so it will put me into a coma.

Last week he was able to spend half the week with the guys in his family up in the Uinta's riding horses, hiking, and fishing. From what I hear about it, they had a blast. On Thursday, the women of the family went up to join them. I was not as happy about the flocks of mosquitoes and the cold at night, but it was beautiful and great to be out camping. Not to mention, Mark's parents spoiled us completely and fixed some of the best meals EVER! I even got some fishing in; if you know me, you know that there were no fish involved in this activity.

Mark's uncle brought his Ranger up and Cameron would have been content to sit in that thing "driving" with his cousin Russell for weeks on end. No joke, he was in heaven.

I feel like I'm finally taking a break this August. The end of June I had Youth Conference and then a week later we regrouped and headed out to Girl's Camp at Camp Hunt (west side of Bear Lake). I have no pictures of these events since one of our leaders was the designated picture-taker. She was great and very dedicated, but now I'm sad I didn't take more of my own. Both YC and GC were such great experiences and I feel so blessed to have been able to go with our Young Women. We have wonderful Young Women in our ward and it was amazing to see them interacting together and the respect and love they showed towards not only everyone in our group but the other groups at the camp. There was no drama so often associated with girls and being together for longer than 2 days. I was so impressed by this and the spirit it brought to our camp. I feel like it really created an atmosphere where the spirit could be and testimonies fostered.

In between YC and GC, we slipped a little 4th of July holiday in.

Logan Fireworks-my awesome mom entertaining multitudes

Yes, Cameron really is as nervous as he looks. Diamond Rio was amazing but oh so loud! Notice the earplugs.

Aww, finally a smile. His nerves calmed down by the time the fireworks started and he ended up loving them as long as my arms were firmly around him.

A couple of weeks ago, an awesome couple in the ward invited us to go on a carriage ride with them and took us for an hour around Hyde Park.


It was so fun because we saw not only the horses but also dogs, cows, sheep, and a couple other animals that entertained the Cam Man.

Happy Summer y'all!
