We had quite the adventure yesterday. I headed down to Brandi's for a little BBQ and swimming at their house. Well, Brandi and I gave into peer pressure, (Aaron and Zac), and decided to go float the Weber River. Zac was kind of on a time schedule. He had to back for dinner with his family buy 5 or 5:30. We had plenty of time for a quick run. So we drop my car off at Mt. Green and head to the Stoddard exit. I made sure I told them I was putting my KEYS behind Brandi's seat in her car. So we get in the river and begin a very slow float. It took FOREVER!!! We had to have picked the slowest part of the river to float down. Well about half way down the river I was thinking about getting out and getting in my car when I realized just where my keys were and where they needed to be. Yup, I pulled a stupid. The whole concept behind leaving a car at the bottom is so we have a car to take us to the top to get the other car right? Some how this didn't exactly click in my brain. By the time we finally made it to our destination it was 6 and we were in luck because their were 3 guys sitting by their cars. So Aaron tells them our situation and the one says to him, "we are headed that way, but my wife would kill me if I let you in my car all wet." What a jerk! So Aaron and Zac got to actually hitch hike for a ride. We were surprised and how quick they got back. The nice fellow that picked them was said they didn't look like normal hitchhikers because of their swimming suits. Thank goodness. So we made it home by 7 and Zac wasn't in too much trouble. Besides the few setbacks it was a blast!
This last week has been a busy one. We just got back from a vacation with my family to Palisades Reservoir in Wyoming. I now find myself working through a mountain of laundry. It was so much fun and so beautiful up there. This use to be a frequent vacation spot for our family. My grandparents had a cabin up there but sold their portion a few years ago. We stayed in Aaron's family cabin this time. It had been 6 years since I'd been there last and the lake was empty then up until this year. It was so full we couldn't believe it. We were able to jump off the McCoy Creek bridge (about 20 feet). We did it at night a few times too. Total adrenaline rush! We also went tubing/rafting,(I stayed dry in the raft with all the screaming kiddies), down the Salt River a couple times. On Saturday we made the trip to Jackson Hole. We went through a few shops and watched the 20 minute gun fight they put on. The kids loved it. This trip was very relaxing. The kids enjoyed running around outside and exploring the wilderness. I enjoyed having nothing to do and nowhere to be. Hollie learned that deer really do have teeth! LOL. I'll let you ask her about that one. I was horrible at taking pictures this trip because a lot of it involved water and I didn't want to ruin my camera.
Well, through all the packing and getting ready to leave, Carter had a birthday. We left on his birthday so we celebrated with Gronni and Poppi the Sunday before. Just our luck, the camera decides to die two pictures into the celebration. Anyway, he enjoyed his birthday and I can't believe he is already five!!! I'd say it makes me feel old, but I know I'm way too young have a 5 year old;) He is such a fun little boy and I can't say it enough, they grow up way too fast!
