June

Various Missouri pics.  I wasn't excited to go because I was worried about the humidity, but we got absolutely gorgeous weather.  We visited Carthage first, then spent a couple days in Nauvoo, we watched the variety show, took some tours and rode on the wagon and carriage.  Then we went to Gallatin for the family reunion.  We visited Adam-ondi-ahman, rode go karts, played fugitive, went fishing, did the auction and had a wonderful time catching up with family.  












(Kansas City)

Amber left the reunion a little early and flew home so she could help with the play.  Then she started Girls State the following Monday.  She did a great job doing everything online and managed to have fun too.  They played Mafia a few times.  

We went and saw Les Mis.  What a talented cast and crew (Especially the crew).

Girls Camp!  I got invited to do the food and I was happy to do it so I could come along to the fun.  They did a hike and ice blocking, crafts and games and then the Thanksgiving Point gardens the first day and then some girls spent the night at our house.  The second day the girls went to the temple, rock climbing and then we went up the canyon and played games and had testimony meeting.  I loved watching Amber teach and lead! 





Hiking.  Diamond Fork hot springs finally opened!  So I took the girls and their friends.  It was pretty perfect except for the naked guy at the end.


Tiffany and Branden invited us to go hiking with them in Cedar and it was cool.  We hadn't really done a slot canyon like that before.  


THEN we were in charge of the Sweeney reunion.  Whew!  I don't know if our June could have gotten any busier.  

A couple days later we were off to Moab!  We stayed in a cabin in a camp resort and had enough beds for all of us!  That's a luxury.  We had games and catching up the first night, went river rafting the next day and then hung out and swam at the resort.  We went to Arches the next day and hiked around.  It was spectacular.  We went back that night for some star gazing.  Then Canyonlands the next day and home.  We brought Amanda with us to stay for a week.

Love that first picture of Scott, that's a cool grin. Missouri is a beautiful state, we drove through there on our way home from Pa years ago but never really stopped anywhere. Those balloons look like a lot of fun, I'd like to try that one day. That's a pretty good size fish there Scott. I love that you guys get out in the mountains with your kids so much, still not sure about those slot canyons, they would probably close in on me.
You keep having a wonderful time and don't forget the fall ride and take a lot of pictures of those colorful trees. I love this blog and still look forward to reading it every once in a while, your family is amazing, love you guy. Sorry it took me so long to see it this time, it's been a very busy year and by the way Happy Birth day Sara, I hate to tell you this but your still not old, you can talk to me about that when your 73, the whole summer has been a complete blur.
