Summer Fun

This post is going to be a little backwards but who cares. We have been enjoying the last few days of my summer vacation watching the A-Team episodes on TV and relaxing. Here are some pictures that will be further explained below.

Levi saw the dirt and that was his favorite thing about being in the mountains.

Levi's horse ride. He was scared of the real ones but the nice gentleman who let us ride his horses had this in his back yard.

This is Goose. Levi touched the horse and petted him. It was fun for him even though he was scared of such a big animal.

Levi took grandma's broom and paraded it all over camp. He cried when she took it away.

This is simply titled boys will be boys.

So it has been a while since we have been on here. We have of course been very busy. Work has of course taken up most of our time but we press on to better things. Like camping. We had the wonderful opportunity to travel south to Payson Lakes with my side of the family. We were a little nervous because this was going to be the first time we had taken Levi camping. Sleeping in a tent with a little "tornado" was a daunting task but we thought better now than later. So to put captions to the pictures first.

This is Levi with some of his cousins on a wagon ride.

Levi liked to climb and explore everything including the fire pit and the picnic table.

Levi's first canoe ride. He hated the life jacket.

This was after we got back and Levi decided to comb his own hair with his fingers after feeding himself scalloped vegetables. He then got to take a bath and drench mom.

The camping was great. Not a whole lot of bugs and we got to relax. Some of the funny things. First off we went to a co-workers house of my brother Chris to ride some horses. There was a mare in heat penned up with a Shetland Pony. The rest of the horses had been fixed except the mare and pony. The pony was all sorts of mad when Chris took the mare out of the pen. Then the pony tried so hard to "get lucky" but was of course too short. It was funny.

One highlight of the trip was the campfire. The only night we didn't play the guitar Dad and his brother Jack started telling stories from their younger and more "wild" days. It entertained us all and more than a few of us were shedding tears from laughing so hard.
