Hyrum Reservoir

Our old neighbors the Gaede's came to play this weekend. The kids were SO excited. We went to the Hyrum Reservoir Saturday afternoon. In true Cache Valley fashion it was super windy because I was near the water. The kids still had a lot of fun even though they couldn't get too wet without getting cold.

Studly daddy!

The Gaede's had planned on camping at Hyrum State Park but when they got up here every camping site was filled, clear up the mountain. So we had a camp out in our back yard. Here Madison is helping Russ fill the air mattress. I don't know if "help" is the right word but she thought she was!

Marshmallow stickiness, is there anything better during the summer?

The girls chose to sleep on the trampoline. Alexis and Mary ended up coming inside and sleeping on the couches. John, Drew and Madison all slept in their tent outside. It was Madison's first camping experience and she did really well.

The next morning, Sunday, we had a bunch of people to get through the showers before Jocelyn's blessing. Alexis and Mary put on their bathing suits so they could get things moving quickly for us. They had a bunch of fun playing together in the pseudo swimming pool. I will post about the blessing next but know that it went really well and we had a lot of fun!
