Summer Lovin

Well, School's out for summer and we've been doing what we do best these days. The Monday after we were Sealed to Todd, I headed up to Koholowo for Girls Camp. I forgot to take my Camera, So I don't have any pictures to share. Someday I will remember everything :) We had such a great time. I love being in the YW program and love working with the Girls. I missed my Boys so much but I don't know anyone else I would rather be away from them more than the Girls in my ward. They are GREAT!!!!!

The next Tuesday we headed on our three week trip. We headed up to Logan for one of Brett's conferences. We spent time in the pool, found a great shaded park, fell in love with Aggie Blue Mint Ice Cream and stumbled upon the cutest little zoo. Then we headed North to see Frank and Mianna (Frank was one of Brett's Mission Buddies). We love to go on road trips. Our kids are great travelers. In fact, Todd did the very best. We stopped in Idaho Falls the first night. I have never been to Idaho Falls. We decided to go for a walk around down town and had a fabulous time. 

The next morning we headed up to Canada. It was a long drive, but we found ways to pass the time. I learned how to crochet at girls camp and crocheted wash cloths, had a bunch of potty stops and let the boys get their wiggles out. Listened to a bunch of our favorite road trip songs. This trip our favorites were Mr. Bojangles and the Kokomo... We'll get there fast and then we'll take it slow. That's where we wanna go

Frank and Mianna live in Cardston Alberta. We love spending time with them in the summer and have spent a few summers with them. We went to the areina and watched Frank and his Dad rope a few steers

Ethan even got to ride a horse. 

One of our FAVORITE things to do is.......

We stopped at our usual favorite places to get a family Photo

Then Frank took us out on the water to cross the Canadian/American Boarder by boat. 

Isn't he so cute!!!!!!!!!

These are the boarder crossing markers.

These next are pictures of the American side of the lake.

All I kept thinking was..... O beautiful for spacious skies, 

For amber waves of grain, 

For purple mountain majesties 

Above the fruited plain! 

America! America!

God shed his grace on thee

And crown thy good with brotherhood

From sea to shining sea! 

We really do live in a Beautiful Country.

It was a really fun trip. 

Another thing that was fun on our trip was. We passed a bunch of Temples and pointed each one out to Ethan. He got so excited with each one and exclaimed 

"Let's go inside and play with the toys, eat some treats and wear white cloths!" 

I sure love that kid!!! :);):)
