Jared is now done working mornings at the crossfit gym, so we have a lot of time together during the week. This week we opted to go up to Panguitch and camp and fish. Jared surprised me and Ryan with new fishing poles. So we put them to good use. We reeled in more than our fair share of fishy's! We even kept our limit! It was a blast.

Ryan had a little miss-hap though. I went to the back of the truck to get her a drink and she tried to follow me. It's a little too high of a drop for her though. She ended up falling out and scraping up her face. I feel like such a jerk every time she looks at me!!

Summer FUN

Memorial Day we took the kids up on a hike. It took us two hours to hike about two miles with the girls getting out and walking a good portion of it! It was a joke, but it was really fun. Next time maybe we can make it to the end with the kids! I love living outside Zions!

Also, we have been spending some time in my sister, Natalie's, back yard. They got a sprinkler to water the yard with and we run through it from time to time. Although the girls do not like to actually get wet at all! They will run under the water as long as they can make it without any
water getting on them.
