SUN VALLEY

We spent the 4th of July weekend up in Sun Valley, ID with the Nelson family. Everyone was able to come up but Troy, Mel, Brad, Chloe and Ezra. We had great fun the 4 nights and 5 days we were there. Some biked down the ski lift, swam, Red Fish Lake, 4th of July festival, celebrated Grandma Ruthie's 68th birthday, fireworks, played games, shopped, pump track, golf ball hunting and ate out at some great places. We just LOVE, LOVE Sun Valley. It is one of our favorite vacation spots. We can't wait to go back :)

The kids had a great time riding around in this pump track while we were there. I think every one of them fell and had wounds to show for it. The funny thing is it didn't stop them they couldn't get enough of it.

GIRLS CAMP

Rachel had a fun time at girls camp this year. We have such great girls and leaders in our ward, they all made camp so much fun for Rachel. Our wards value was knowledge. The owl was their symbol because they are so WISE...very clever.

How stinkin cute is this banner that hung in camp. Rachel and TatieGOOD TIMES!!!
