July Festivities and Traditions

Draper Days is always a good time. We decided to head over to the park to enjoy the festivities and people watch.

THE DRAPER PARADE FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE

Instead of watching the parade this year, the kids got to participate in it. Our neighbor, who works for Taylor's Boats, asked the kids to walk behind a boat, and ride in it. They had a blast! Thanks Dan :)







Our Favorite Float! Thanks Lesa and Jack for posing :)

Amazing!!

Lake Powell was a grand adventure this year. The Matta's and the Witts joined us for this years event. Unfortunately the weather wasn't the best. The daily temperature hovered in the low 70's (not perfect conditions for boating). The kids made the best of it by hiking and doing normal camping activities. We took a daytime fieldtrip, left the boats behind, and visited the slot canyons in Page, AZ. They are spectacular, well worth the ridiculous price to get in. We are very glad that we took the time to take in some of God's beautiful creations. The last day of our trip the weather crept into the 80's so we were able to recreate on the boats a bit.

My scouts

My SWEET boys getting ready to head off to scout camp. They are lucky enough to be able to go to two camps this summer. One with our neighborhood and one with the old neighborhood. Merit Badges here we come. They truly love scouts!
