ca.noe.ing

If anyone wants a fun recreational activity to do then I suggest canoeing at Causey Dam. It was so much fun. Brett has been wanting to go canoeing for a long time now. He planned this fun activity seriously three weeks ago by reserving a canoe from WSU Wilderness Recreational Center. He packed a dinner and we were off canoeing by 5:30pm. It was a very peaceful and beautiful night. I thought my arms would be sore today but not at all. Thanks Brett for a fun date. I would go again with you of course.

I love the month of August!

I don't know why I just do. Could it be that there is still one more month of summer left or because I got married in August? or because all the fun family vacations are in this month (Bear Lake, Cabin/Park City)? When I was a kid we would do our school shopping in this month and it is a fun memory for me. My mom would take each child one on one for an afternoon and we would buy our clothes and school supplies and go to lunch together. I am looking forward to taking the girls school shopping even though it is only for pre school but there is nothing wrong with starting the tradition now. I don't know why I love August so much but honestly I was just so excitted yesterday and could hardly contain myself when I went to sleep last night that it was the eve of August. Hooray for August!! Call me crazy. There is one thing pointed out by my brother that there are no holidays in August but I think the whole month is a holiday at least at our house since I think Brett is only working 7 days with all his time off.

more pics from the cabin

I totally snagged these pictures of the girls off my brother and sister-in-law's blog. Brett is taking me canoeing tomorrow night and after seeing these pictures of the canoe capsized at a lake near our cabin maybe I have second thoughts. Just kidding. How in the world? Brett don't get any ideas.

there is our dare devil Kelty

family photo

Kelty was the flag girl on the boat until her dad fell and then she started crying for us to go get her daddy out of the water and Teagan just laughed that her dad fell in the water.

Teagan couldn't wait to get on the boat and go to the beach (sand). Everytime she sees a plane she tells me the plane is going to the beach and so is Teagan Mae. She should have been born in California or Arizona where there is beach front property. It's a family joke.

Kelty, Steph and Ike on the tube

Our fun friends the Larsons invited us to join their family the Rawlings and Hales at Pineview for FHE last night. We had a blast. Wish we had more daylight time to play some more in the water. The girls loved the boat ride, tubing and were brave enough to join the boys, namely Ike and Wyatt jumping off the make shift trampoline into the water which I heard has Giardia. I told my girls not to drink the water but after looking at some of the pictures how could they not have kept water from coming into their mouths. After we left Pineview we had convinced our selves we wanted to buy a boat and then we filled up our SUV and both cried. One day when we are rich and famous or just rich then maybe we can be owners of a boat or two. But for now thank goodness for fun friends who are so nice to invite us along.
