road trip pictures part 1

looks like old faithful is still pretty faithful, even if she is smaller than we remembered...

*we get giddy about geysers*

 (and clearly my jump is way better)

not so scary goblins...

This weekend we took off on Thursday and went to Goblin Valley with our good friends Trevor and Melissa.  They are some of our best friends and are moving to the windy state later this month, so we decided we needed to go camping as one last hoorah!

We had such a great time! Some of the highlights from our trip include:

an incredible camping spot, 9 mile hike through the saweet slot canyons of little wild horse,

mountain man breakfast, tinfoil dinners, smores & bannana boats, shooting competitions,

and lots and lots of not so scary goblins. 

Recap of Summer...

I am seriously baffled by how fast this summer flew by. I love the summertime and all the fun activities that are associated with it....this year for the first time in what-like 17 years or so that my summer has been extra long. It is a strange and yet glorious feeling not to go back to school with everyone else. I am sure that I will miss it soon enough but for now I am enjoying all this extra time!! Well, our summer was wonderful like always. Our top 5 highlights are as follows:

1. Our various camping trips. We were able to take some trips with family and friends and we sure had a lot of fun!

2. This summer I worked at the Springville Museum of Art at night when Jake was in class and I absolutely loved every minute!

3. The birthday week. I love having our birthdays just a few days apart so we can party all week long!

3.5 Eating warm strawberries and other delectable items from our garden:) yumm

4. Our anniversary (prev. post)... including our trip but also including all the fun things we've done together to celebrate marriage:)

5. and...last but not least, well maybe least...racking up some serious medical bills..ha.. this summer has brought us to the doctor on multiple accounts...I am basically a genius when it comes to insurance now;)

Goodbye Summer-we will miss you!
