Summer Ends
To begin our summer, Sabre and Carrie came for James' Mission Farewell. It was an important time for our family. We were glad to have family and friends visit. After James left for the MTC we did our visiting with Sabre. The highpoint of her visit had to be our annual campout at Willard Bay. This year was different because Sabre and Christina put up the tent and made camp by themselves.
After Sabre's visit, Bekkie, Joey, Trevor and Gavin came for a visit from Oklahoma. We had a celebration for Trevor's birthday that Saturday Pizza night. The next day we went to church and on Monday we left for the cabins for two weeks. After the cabins we did lots of fun things with the grandchildren. Chantelle took the kids swimming, camping, rodeoing and to Freedom Riders. Katie took them to Farmers Market and the zoo. Stacy and Allan met us for the Drive in movie. We just had so much fun with pizza nights. But all good things come to an end. Trevor and Gavin went home. The carefree days of summer are gone and now we are preparing for a new school year. Thanks to all of you that made it a wonderful summer!
Swimming and Willard's Bay
At Willard's Bay we swam the whole afternoon. It is a wonderful place to camp because the tree-shaded picnic table, fire pit, grill and camping is right on the shore. Grandpa grilled our dinner while the children swam. We had to rescue our food from the squirrels and birds. When it got dark we had hamburgers and put up our tent. Jeremy made our campfire. The kids roasted marshmellows and had a wonderful campout with Jeremy and Chantelle in the tent.
All of us had so much fun swimming the last two weeks of July. We swam three times at Grandma and Grandpa Joos' pool. We also swam at Aunt Darlene's pool twice. I think the Grandchildren turned into little fish. They all swimmed for 2-3 hours at a time. They wouldn't get out for food or rest, but when they got home they were starving and tired. Wyatt and Paxton took swimming lessons and had many things to show Grandma.

The Family at the Cabins 2010
When Wyatt first saw the mountain and cabin he said, "It is so beautiful here I think God used to live here a long time ago." Kysa and Wyatt were great campers. We went on the hike around the cabins. Wyatt went with Grandma all around Aspen Lake. He took good care of Grandma.
Trevor, Gavin, Paxton and Joey are hiking down the trail to the lower lake.
Grandma, Christina, Trevor, Gavin, Paxton and Wyatt went early to clean the cabin. We also stayed and closed the cabin. We were there for two weeks.
Gavin, Bekkie, Asher (dog), Christina, Paxton, and Trevor do the water hike.
Christina's 14th Birthday
