Camping

Sunshine and Summer time

We went camping this past Thursday through Sunday with my family for our little family reunion. It was so good to see everyone and spend time playing together. We camped at CherryHill campground and did a few other things throughout the weekend. CherryHill campground has a little waterpark, batting cages, mini golf, a rock wall, and some other fun stuff.
We spent an afternoon at the little water park that they have at Cherryhill campground. They have a little area for younger kids, a lazy river, and three water slides. We had a really good time. We took Avery on the lazy river and she liked it even when they started pouring water on our heads when we would go under certain things around the lazy river she didn't start screaming, she just gave a face like "what the heck". Brett and I went down the tube water slide a lot it was so fun.


Avery loved crawling around in the water. We had to watch her so that she didn't go to far. Afton had a fun time playing with Avery. Love you Afton!

Avery got all tired out and had to take a little nap so that she could play some more.
What a white guy. Love you Dad!

This is the Place

After the zoo we stopped here. This was were Brigham Young stopped and told the pioneers that this is where they were stopping. it was pretty cool to see. There were so many people there because it was pioneer day.

Batting cages and Mini golf


Brett hit at the batting cages A LOT while we were camping at Cherryhill. I did once but I didn't do nearly as good as Brett did.
Brett had a ball from the fast pitch machine foul off and hit his ankle and these little dots were the welts that were left on his ankle.

We Mini golfed with Steve and Linds and Brett won... I was the Loser.

A Day at the Hogle Zoo

On Friday we went into Salt Lake and went to the zoo. Here are some pictures of it. I know there are lots and the are in backwards order but oh well. Grandpa bought Avery a Zebra at the gift shop.

Brett was trying to be a gopher or whatever that little animal is.
Avery slept through a lot of the exciting big animals.
Brett the turtle

What a goof. Lindsay was hatched


This is a arangatang. He had a really funny looking face.
Brett is about the size of an adult male gorilla but his hands aren't quite as big

The lion eating our heads

Usually these aren't that exciting but he was jumping to get leafs off the tree.
This leopard was way cool and moving around every where.


Great pose from the bear



They had a bird show that we watched.

This elephant was about 21 months pregnant and they go for about 21 to 22 months. To bad we didn't get to see a baby elephant. I was pretty impressed way prego and still doing tricks.

Carrie's Wedding and More

It seems like we have been going somewhere every weekend for the last little while and this last weekend we went to Twin Falls to see my good friend Carrie be sealed in the temple to this good man Mitch. It was so awesome to be there. I whipped out my camera to take pictures as they were coming out of the temple, but unfortunatley I did not check to see if my camera battery was charged and guess what... it wasn't. So I just got this one picture at there reception. Her dress was so pretty and she looked so beautiful. I'm so happy for you. Like you Carrie! The main reason we went to Burley that weekend was to go to Carrie's wedding, but of course we fit in some other fun stuff too. Brett and Kreg went fishing and caught 12 trout. I guess they said they actually caught like 30 but the limit they could take was 12 so they brought 12 back. They had a great morning fishing.

Look at all those fish. What good fishermen.
Later that evening we were going to go boating with Kreg and Tati and we got down to the river and the boat wouldn't start. Oh well maybe it was a blessing... but doesn't Avery look cute in her life jacket. So instead of boating we went back to Kreg's and ate some trout.
