Splish Splash

On Monday we spent the day at the Kaysville splash pad with some friends. It was so fun catching up with my friend Liz and her three girls. Love summer days where the kids can play outside and I can chat with my friends in the shade.

Later on that night, after Addie had already been cleaned up, we decided to play outside. Well the pool was still up from that afternoon and she of course jumped in with her clothes on...oh well...you only live once, right? The girls thought it was hilarious and so we just let them play.

I'm sad summer's coming to a close, it went by so fast!

Silver Lake

It's my families tradition to make it up to Brighton once a year to walk around Silver Lake. This year did not disappoint.

Addie was interested in everything and had her finger pointing the whole time. "Mama, mama, MOM!!!"

And such a beautiful sight, we saw a moose.

I love being able to drive an hour away and see such beauty. Utah really is such a pretty state.

Currant Creek

The drive was about 3 hours long and Utah does not disappoint, it was a beautiful drive.

We had a cute little spot and like our drive up it was a beautiful campsite.

We spent a lot of our time at the reservoir fishing. We didn't catch anything till the morning we left. Benton woke up early and went down to the lake and caught 3 fish, one got away. I was shocked when he came back with an 18 inch tiger trout!

And of course we couldn't go camping without making smores!

Nights were interesting. The first night, we decided to see if the girls would sleep next to each other. Well it was cute at first, until Addie kept climbing up and down out of bed. Eventually she ended up sleeping in our bed by herself. Which left me on the couch and Benton next to Cambree. The next night was a little better, Benton slept with Addie and I slept next to Cambree. Hopefully next year Addie will be ready to sleep next to Cambree.

The girls loved it and we can't wait to go camping in a couple weeks!

Swim Obsessed

Since Cambree has been in swim lessons she wanted to show off her skills to her cousins. Too bad our pool is a little too small for her to actually show off her new tricks. But she couldn't care less, I'm glad she loves to swim!

Swim Lessons

Cambree has been in swim lessons for a week now and will continue with them this week. The class is Mon-Thurs 11-11:40am. It's been fun getting out of the house each morning and watching her in the pool. Sadly the weather hasn't been that great. It rained everyday last week except for the first day which ended up getting done early because a child had an accident in the pool. Hopefully the weather will cooperate better this week!

Cambree thankfully isn't afraid of the water, well besides sticking her face in it. She likes to kick, put on the noodle and swim, and is learning to float on her back. Her teacher said she's doing a great job!

Addie also has enjoyed watching her swim in the pool. Next year it will be her turn to join Cambree!

Mantua Reservoir

We went fishing for the first time on Benton's dads boat this morning. Dave is a professional fisherman, he attends tournaments and wins prizes for the fish he catches. Cambree was thrilled he was taking us out on his boat, she's been talking about it since he got it last year. We woke up early and made our way up to Mantua Reservoir, we went there since it's a smaller lake and the fish are littler and easier for our kids to catch.

The girls, especially Cambree enjoyed going fast on his boat.

The lake was quiet and it was a beautiful day to fish. Benton kept catching the same fish over and over again (or so it seemed). Addie did pretty well being in a small enclosed area, however after about 4 hours she was done. I was impressed she lasted that long.

We had a lot of fun and hope to join him again! Thanks Dave for a great day!
