4th of July

For the 4th of July we spent the weekend in Kaysville.  On Friday Logan does there fireworks so we walked across the street to the park hoping we could see them and this is all we got....

We had to look through the trees, but it was fun laying there and not having to battle any crowds.

Melissa & Brett were visiting from Kansas.  Brett just got back from Afghanistan so he had some time off.  It was fun hanging out with them for the weekend.  

On Monday the 4th we skied at Snowbird.  I know my head looks ginormous with my helmet!  

This picture shows you how "great" the snow was.  Looked like a snow cone. 

This is one of the runs we did.  With only 2 lifts open and A TON of people the wait was long.  After about 5 runs we called it quits.  It was worth it to say we did it and get a t-shirt that also says we were there.

After skiing we had a BBQ and played some kick ball with the fam.  Then we went to the Kaysville fireworks. 

Waiting for the fireworks.

 July 9th we went to the ReAL soccer game thanks to my Dad & Lorie.  They bought all of our tickets.  We had the "cheap" seats but I thought they were great!  We were on the last row behind the North goal, but the stadium isn't huge so we were still pretty close.  The food stand was behind us and the kids had a big area to play since they didn't sit for very long. 

You can't really tell but Clark & I were supporting ReAL with our jerseys. 

Max & Jack waiting for the game to start.

Nick & Adrienne.  I guess they got a pic since it was almost their anniversary.  Notice Katie & I were very into the game :)

ReAL ended up winning 3-0 (I think... maybe 2-0) either way it was fun 

Lake Powell 2011

I'm finally catching up on blogging.  First our trip to Lake Powell.  We went down to Lake Powell with my family June 23-27.  My sister Allison and bro. in law Tyler have a time share on a house boat at Bull Frog and they invited us along for a fun trip.

The classic Jack stare

Just reading our books* getting some sun.  Also notice the water and how choppy it was.  The wind was a little annoying. * I was reading Half Broke Horses by Jeanette Walls.  I really liked it and recommend it.  After you read Half Broke Horses read The Glass Castle by the same author.  They are both true stories based on her family.   

Clark and Max building a sand castle.  I love how Max's hair blends in with the orange sand.

Everyone in attendance included my aunt Sherrie, Cousin Megan her husband Greg and two children Abby and Sam, Cousin Heidi and baby Logan, My mother, Alli and husband Tyler and two children Max & Jack, sisters Adrienne and Katie and Me & Clark  We had a lot of fun and since it was so choppy most of the time we just surfed behind the boat for the majority of the day with a little wake boarding, knee boarding and tubing in between.  The water wasn't as warm as Lake Powell water usually is because there was still a lot of run off coming into the lake and by the time we left the water had gone up about 5 more feet from when he first docked the boat and buried the anchors. 

All in all it was a fun trip!
