We spent a week in Jackson Hole the last week of June. We had a blast. Most of the my family was there except Rachel. We had fun exploreing Yellow Stone, playing at the pool, and going on a rafting trip. Riley took all of the older kids miniature golfing. On our way home we stopped at the rapids to see if any boats would flip. I think the second boat we saw flipped. It was actually a little bit scary to watch people floating down the river.

We went down to Blanding of the 4th. Aundrea and her family also came down. We both brought our boats so that we could go to Lake Powell on Saturday. We had a really good time. On Thursday night we were able to see some of my long lost friends. We arrived late, but I was still able to see Bev, Krist, Shantil, Mindy and their families. On Friday we joined the Redd's in front of their store for the parade. The kids got a ton of candy. We then waited a heck of a long time for navajo tacos. Now hot and tired we decided to head over to Recapture with our boats to cool off. It was fun to be able to play in the water for awhile. We went back to grandma's house, got ready then headed back down to Blanding for the fire works show it was pretty good. We got up early on Saturday excited to hang out at Powell all day, but we were disappointed by the bad weather. It was fun to hang out with Kristi's and Aundrea's families though. We had more problems when we got back from Powell...grandma's house was having some plumbing problems. We weren't able to take showers or use a toilet, it wasn't very fun. But Kristi and Bev came up to grandma's house to hang out and catch up, so that was fun. On Sunday we headed home, but decided to stop at Wilson Arch and let the kids explore. We finally made it home where things have calmed down a bit, for a few days at least.

Macy and Spencer kept fighting on the way home, so we made them hug for a punishment. They look like their not very happy in this picture, but they were laughing the whole time. It was pretty funny.

we had so much fun! I'm getting geared up to do pretty much the same blog:) We miss you guys already!
We had so much fun in Jackson. So glad to hear you had such a good time in Blanding and Lake Powell...Good Times!
It was so good to see you. You seriously have to come down more often. So your bad plumbing must have been contagious cause the next day ours backed up and flooded the basement- thanks a lot!! jk, it was actually not bad at all, just laundry water and we fixed it really easy so it wasn't nearly as bad as yours, hopefully that's all fixed up before you come again.
I am only admitting to this because Jeremy could see it too. I looked at the Buffalo and thought there was a bear sitting on his back. Im glad you all had so much fun. Logan told me about the BIG waves at Lake Powell!
I didn't know you had been up to Jackson the week before. You guys are quite the bums. I guess it gives you something good to blog about. Did you ever get the plumbing fixed?
