The kids playing at the beach.
Grandpa
Rick, Becky and Lexie around the campfire
Becky, after I made her stop to pose during our bike ride. I love you Becky... I couldn't put the one of me with you, you look way too skinny next to me. ha ha!
The kids eating muddy buddies! They acted like I caught them... maybe they were feeling quilty about eating so many treats!
Christian spent a lot of time with his sling shot! He wants a cousin his age, or one of the boys to hang out with. Jon, Scott, Alex, Rick and his dad were his buddies though. They said he kept up on the bike ride and everything!
Meliah and Taylor
Twas Scott's birthday while we were there! Happy Birthday Scott... 29 right?
Christian trying to act really excited while watching Scott and Jon play chess. He loved the hammocks and wants to buy one with his savings.
Aaron with his mom! Like I said... way too many treats up there.
Lizzy and her buddy Bella! Really like two peas in a pod. Unseparable!
Cuties in the lake
Aaron with his brother, Jon. Jon just got back from his mission in Brazil.
The guys trying to set up Kerri and Alex's mansion tent! It took forever, but they got it, finally!
Over Labor Day weekend we went up to Little Grass Valley Reservoir with Aaron's side of the family. It's only about 30 miles from where I grew up, I realized that I need to share more of who I am and what I love with my kids and husband. I absolutely love to see the stars at night, the pine trees and just the smell of the cool air.
I went on a jog one morning with plans to run 7 miles but the altitude was so much different from what I am used to. 4 miles was good enough!
We played a ton of games and went on a really fun bike ride. Becky and I did our own little extended bike ride... it was so beautiful. Kerri did a neat thing every day that if the kids found the rock that was painted like a bee, they would get a treat. They really enjoyed that. Grandma and Becky did a ton of crafts with the kids, which they loved. Bella and Lizzy had a blast together and were followed by Lexie the entire time. They played in the dirt for the majority of the time. Meliah and Taylor played non-stop too, riding bikes, doing crafts and inventing things to do! They giggled together so much!
There is just something about the outdoors, no cellphones, computers, video games or t.v. to distract from what Heavenly Father created for us to enjoy.
