A vacation to remember...

James and I just returned from a fabulous vacation back east. We had a wonderful time. It was so nice to see family that we had not seen since Christmas! We did so much in the two weeks we were there. We went to the temple in Manhattan, visited Philadelphia and ran the Rock steps!!!, went to Allentown, visited little Italy, Saratoga, went to camp and went boating and fishing, horseback riding, saw my cousins from PA,visited Six Flags New England and the Saratoga County fair. Gosh I'm even tired just thinking about all the things we were able to do! On our way back to Logan we wanted to visit James family so we made a stop to Kamas for a couple of days. We were able to go on a truck ride in the truck that James grandpa built and do a fun puzzle! :o) Enjoy our photos!















































We saw Dr. Phil filming parts of his new show!

Happy Fourth of July!

We just got back from a wonderful Fourth of July weekend spent with our family. James and I went down to Kamas on Friday night and went to eat with his grandpa in Midway. I had never really been to Midway, but it's such a neat little town. All of the houses are built "Swiss" style since we think the Dutch and Swiss settled the area many years ago. We ate at a great restaurant and then spent the night at James mom house. Saturday morning we got up and went to the famous Oakley parade. Another first timer for me. The weather was perfect so we then decided to join Par and Heather in Provo for a day at Seven Peaks Water Park!!! We had a lot of fun. James and I had never been there. It was nice to be with them and celebrate the holiday. At night, Par and Heather went to the Stadium of Fire and James and I attended the festival held on Center Street in Provo. We haven't really been back to Provo since we lived there so it was fun to visit our old stompin' grounds! And of course the 4th would not be complete without lighting off fireworks right?? We bought fireworks and lit some in their neighborhood! Thanks guys for a great weekend! We love you both! (Pics to come soon!)
