Wild Ones

This weekend was an absolute blast. Friday, the kids wanted to go to the local fair to ride some rides. We have been getting a lot of rain lately and the weather has really started to cool off, which is so nice but I was afraid the rain was going to ruin our fair plans. However, we lucked out and mid-afternoon the rain stopped so we quickly headed over to the rodeo grounds where the fair was held. The kids couldn't get enough of all the bouncy house fun and the best part was that they were free for all kids that Friday...score!!! They also loved the petting zoo and hanging out with their friends, Brooklyn and Parker.

Saturday morning I was up bright and early to head up to Camp LoMia with some of the other camp leaders to go and test out the hike we want the girls to go on during girl's camp. We hiked Pioneer trail and went about 2.5 miles in and then hiked that same distance back out. It was a gorgeous, green hike with just the right amount of chill to the air to make it really enjoyable. It was very moist underneath all the trees and we actually came out soaking wet without it even raining. I can't believe camp is just a few weeks...can't wait for it to get here and be over:)
Saturday night I had a bunch of friends over for a little party. It was one of the funnest nights I have ever had...laughing til you almost pee...that pretty much sums it up! I feel so blessed to have made some really great friends here in Payson and that they are so fun to hang out with.
Brett is anxiously awaiting his big elk hunt coming up this week, so we have Chance and Sarah's ranger at our house, so they can use it for the hunt. Well, we decided to take it out for a spin Sunday afternoon with the kids and what a blast! Brett has gotten to know almost every back road and trail here in Payson, so he took us to a really cool spot. That is one of the biggest benefits of living in a small, mountain town...lots of outdoor recreation. It has been a great way for us to do things as a family.
