camping at Whitney

We had the opportunity to go camping this last weekend with some friends (thanks James and Jennifer for the invite) up to Whitney reservoir in the uintahs. We sure had a blast! Here's a few pictures from the fun we had (yes that is Tracey camping, I was proud of her for "roughing" it).

Overlooking the valley. There sure was a lot of good trails to ride- and nobody rolled any 4-wheelers this time thankfully.

This is Ty and his little buddy Levi loading up some firewood in their dumptruck.

Tristyn relaxing doing some fishing.

Every time one of them had to go sure enough the other one had to as well. Nothing better than tandom peeing.

The kids sure loved riding in the Ranger. Thanks to Terry and Ronda for letting us use it (and the trailer).

We found a big old dead tree to chop down so we had plenty of firewood after playing Paul Bunyan for a couple of hours.

This was some of the kids hanging out in the mosquito tent. There were certain times of the day when the bugs got pretty bad so this tent was nice to have.

This was overlooking Whitney reservoir from up on the mountain. The scenery was awesome.

This is Terry and Ronda's trailer that we stayed in. It makes camping not so much like camping.

Tennis anyone?

After saving forever we finally got the rest of our sport court in yesterday. I've been a little excited to get this in. This is what we call Christmas in July. I've already invited Roger over for a little tennis and D-Will for some hoop...haven't heard back from either one yet, but I'm sure they'll call. So free up your schedules, we're going to have a volleyball/basketball/tennis/badmitton tourney...just make sure to bring your game and your mosquito repellant.

Work and stuff

Talking yesterday with some friends and the conversation came up about what a blessing it is to be able to work and stuff (see sign below). In this age of entitlement I'm so grateful for parents who taught us that it was a privelege to be able to work, and how to work hard. There are so many great experiences I've had and the chance to meet so many wonderful people that I never would have had were it not for work.


Here's some fun we had at work earlier in the summer at our guest appreciation breakfast.

Sad that so many in the country feel like this...

God bless America!

Recently West Weber had a little sesquicentennial celebration. They've been doing several little events with a culmination to come on the 4th of July. They had a lot of fun things for the kids to do and overall it was a lot of fun. It got me to thinking how blessed we are to live in this great country, and how many people have sacrificed so much so that we may enjoy the things that we do. God bless America! Thank you to all those who have given so much to make this country great!

Tristyn and Ty both got to do a little rock climbing wall.
