Summa O' Fun

For my 1st official blog I thought I would share some pictures of my AWESOME summer. But, a few pictures turned into quite a few, which then turned in to way to many. Oh well!

To start off the summer, I got my dream car (As you know!) It is still a little hard not having a truck all the time. I just can't randomly go off-roading like I use to; regardless I still love my car. Everyday when I get in the Mustang I just can't believe that it is actually mine!

My first fun event was our Annual Girls Baseball trip the 1st week in June. All 8 of us headed to California in our rented plig-rig. Not a one of us slept the whole ride there and back, we were having way too much fun to sleep. Our first stop was to watch the San Diego Padres vs Chicago Cubs. We also spent some time on the ocean on my moms, cousins sailboat. We spent a day at the Zoo and another day at Sea World. We were suppose to come home Friday, but then randomly decided to head to LA to a Dodgers game Friday night. the game was outta control. the security gaurds had to haul out some dudes sitting right next to us for fighting and throwing french frys. And the Dodgers won!! It was a way fun trip.

The remainder of June and first part of July I, yes I, was responsible for some childrens lives. I got to see my cousin Bobbi's kids, Aspen & Kassia. for the first time in 4 years. They were in Panguitch for a few weeks. I also kid napped Syd and Josh for a week. Brogon and Elcha were always hangin out with us too. While they were here we had 2 family reunions, the Balloon Fest, and the 4 of July. There was never a dull moment.

We can't forget the Balloon/Volleyball Fest! The Volleyball game was very entertaining. There were over 60 people in my backyard, but no big deal. The cops just showed up once, then quickly left... Sorry Neighbors!!!

I have been to Powell twice now. I went with the Bryce Valley boys and some Panguitch girls, and a bunch more people. I am ready to head back down there right now!

In the Boat & our camp in the backgroundThe beach was covered in stickers, so we bought water shoes @ Wal-mart for $4.88!

The first weekend in August, I went Campin with Bubba and the boys. It was interesting to see the mix of people. When you are hanging out with Bubba you just never know who will show up. It was seriously a melting pot of bizarre unusual groups. There were country kids, city folk, some cowboys, a hippy, and a couple of black boys. It was fun, weird, but fun. Surprisingly, no fights broke out! We would wake up early to go fishing and stay out late four wheelin.

4 of us jumped in the side by side and headed to Powell Point to watch the sunset, but half way there we got a flat tire.We built a fire and waited for our friends to bring us up a pump

Trying to pump up the tire

The tire wouldn't take any air so all 6 of us jumped on one 4wheeler and headed back to camp.We made it safely back to camp, so Norm and I did a lil swing dancin' to celebrate!
Last weekend I went camping with the Fam, for The Barton Family reunion. I spent 4 dirty, wonderful days out camping. It was a joyful time bonding with the Fam Damily.
