Utah!

We spent the last two weeks staying with my parents in Utah. Derek was able to come up for the first week then had to get back to work. Bostyn and I got to stay the extra week. The weather was awesome and the scenery unbeatable. Thanks Mom and Dad for the great Summer vacation!


This is the view from my parent's backyard!


Bostyn swimming with her cousin Kinley in the backyard.


My mom took this picture of Bostyn behind the barn. Derek "doctored" it up a bit. So cute!


We went fishing and my sister Erin was the only one who caught a fish big enough to keep.




For the 24th of July, we went to the small town parade in Monroe then the whole family went to Palisade State Park where we had a picnic and did some paddle boating on the lake. Above is a picture of my sister Marlee and a couple of her friends. Below are "kissing cousins" Kinley and Bostyn.





We were able to take a tour of my Dad's work while we were there. He works at a place called Aspen Ranch in Loa. They use a program centered on horses to rehabilitate troubled teens.



Aunt Marlee with Bostyn in the arena at my Dad's work.


Marlee sampling the horse's salt lick.


I know this is a bad picture, but this is a herd of deer literally in my parent's backyard.


Kinley and Bostyn helping Papa feed the horses.

So Lyndsay, did you participate in the 5K Milk Run?! Our kids ran it last year and us city folk didn't quite know what to do. It was soo funny because the other kids were running in the street and our kids stayed running on the sidewalks! Glad you had a good time. We had a great time up there last summer. It is so pretty.
