Utah VACATION! Part 2

We went swimming (well some of us swam- not me!) at Jess & Cort's hotel pool.



Grandpa John took a quick nap.
Grandma Shanna took everyone to feed the ducks.


Ry ate the bread instead of throwing it to the ducks.

Jake & Grandpa came down on bikes to meet us.

Grandpa's garden! He is very very talented! Yum!

Issac & Ruth & Kids came to visit. It was so great to see them! They were so awesome to take Jake to the airport. My pictures are not the best... didn't get anyone to smile at me... their daughters are all so beautiful!



BEAR LAKE! You can NOT go to Logan, UT without a trip here! It was windy and a bit cold but you know kids never care about that anyway!



Shanna took a kayak ride!
Mom and I loved this!


Flying high!


We went to South Jordan and visited Grandma and Grandpa Poops! We went to Cabella's and the kids loved the animals, fish, and most of all the shooting range.




Enjoying the sun, the pool, the shark slip and slide, and Popsicles before we had to go home! The kids cried and still talk about seeing Grandma Shanna and Grandpa John as soon as the can!!

Blesssing

Tasha and Carl blessed Devin in WA so family could all be there! Thanks for letting us share in your special day! These pictures are from the dinner afterward. Lots of love given to the baby! Jake looks handsome in his vest so I had to share that one also!

Temple Trip

One of my best friends went through the temple for the first time and I got to be her escort! Her husband also was going through for the first time. His brother and Mom were there also! Now they have also been sealed in the temple! I love these two- they are great examples to me of love, kindness, faithfulness, and friendship!! We are so happy for you! We only remembered to take pictures outside of the restaurant where we ate afterward. I wish I had some pictures outside the temple, but this will have to do.

Ellerbeck Reunion

We went camping for the weekend at Baker Lake for our family reunion.

Some highlights: it was beautiful and warm. The lake was fun to swim and canoe in. The food was delicious particularly some Hobo dinners, french toast, and blueberry pancakes... I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. My family is the BEST to hang out with!!!

Some lowlights: BUGS. BEES. HEAT at night when trying to sleep. Kids waking up with the sun. Kait getting swimmers ear and crying into the night one night.

Jake said to me- I thought you just didn't know if you liked camping because you never tried it- but now I know that you truly don't like it. It's the truth. I don't like the bugs or the dirt or the gross bathrooms or the way you have to watch the kids every step because you are outside and they are not fenced in.
