Hike with Kenz morning. We had fun slip siding on the wet trail by Tibble Fork Reservoir and rolling our eyes at lame dog owners. Third hike of the summer with her. Wahoo!

Cecret Lake hiking adventure with some fam. I love that when Kendyl comes to Utah she wants to go to the mountains.  We also had Camrie, Sadie, Laynee, Clayton, Heather, Blake, and Jaycee. 

I love hiking with the niblings and two of my girls. We found lots of flowers, the lake, and a few salamanders. It ended up being quite the memorable adventure with Clayton’s shortcut that led us through a muddy swamp where Laynee unfortunately found a thigh deep pool of ick. But she managed to save Jaycee and her phone while chest deep in the swamp. :) I’m pretty sure Clayton won’t live that shortcut down for awhile. Wendy’s for food after helped. Laynee got Clayton back a little bit by pranking him that she had a leech. Good times!

Wedding day!  

What a fabulous day! Everything went smoothly and we had such a great time celebrating Rylie and Cole. They were so happy together.  Lots of support from friends and family and it was just fun to celebrate these two all day.

We had a little wedding eve celebration with the girls.  Zupas. Barbie movie, and then homemade ice cream at Kenzie's.  We also played two guess things about Rylie games.  Good times before the wedding tomorrow.

Kelly is awesome.  Give her some apricots and you get apricot jam and homemade rolls in return.

Elder Vern P Stanfill of the Seventy. GC April 2023. 

"No matter how insignificant our efforts may seem, we must never underestimate the Savior’s power. A simple word of kindness, a brief but sincere ministering visit, or a Primary lesson lovingly taught can, with the Savior’s help, provide comfort, soften hearts, and change eternal lives. Our clumsy efforts can lead to miracles, and in the process, we can participate in a perfect harvest."

Also, I like clouds.

Good day with Darren. We ran away for the day. The Uintas called to wish us a happy anniversary and we answered. We were aiming for Amethyst Lake but we ran out of time so we enjoyed “Anniversary Lake” instead. I loved this lake and the meadow just before it. 5.5 miles up to this awesome spot and a long 5.5 miles back to the car. That put anniversary dinner in Kamas at Mirror Lake Diner at 9pm. Fabulous way to celebrate 29 years.

Did someone say - let’s go to dinosaur island? Yes I did and somehow people came with me. We laughed at the dinosaurs, saw a muskrat, fed the pile of koi fish and then went to Slab for some pizza. I love these lame outings. 

Kenz and I went on a hike this morning. We headed up Little Cottonwood Canyon but it was pouring at the top so we headed down to less rain at Bell Canyon trailhead. The lower falls were flowing with tons of mist spray. Kinda cool. I love Kenzie hikes.
