Lake Powell Vacation

This year we decided to stick with a simple vacation to Lake Powell with the family.  Kyle and I grew up going here with our families and it remains one of our favorite things to do.  There are several areas of the lake to go to but this year we decided on Wahweap in Page, Arizona.

The weather is hot and the sun shines bright.  We love being together as a family.  This place holds many memories over the past 40 years for me.  No place else I would rather be!
Until next year...........

Montana Vacation

This years summer vacation started off with a great trip
to Deer Lodge, Montana.  Our host was John Adams,
a good friend of Kyle's from his childhood in California.
We drove the 7 hours in a mini van.  We brought along cousin Jason
and Brady's family.  We had to pick Kylie up from cheer
camp in Ogden on our way.

Even Kylie did the rope swing
One thing about staying at a place in cattle country is you will see plenty of cattle around

The cousins played in the pool.  Kaela, Kristi, Kylie, Kaity
Transportation was golf carts which the girls took out every minute they could
It was beautiful country and a great trip!
