SUN VALLEY

  We took a family trip to Sun Valley again this summer.  Mike had to work since he was off the week before for scout camp so he came up Fri and spent the weekend.  The kids and I went up Wed with my dad and stayed until Mon.  My parents and Amy both had their timeshare condos so there was plenty of room.  Brett came with his kids too so it was a party.  We missed Jed and Mel and their families and Troy who didn't come this year.  We just LOVE Sun Valley it is such a beautiful, relaxing place.  We had great fun shopping, eating, swimming, playing games, horse back riding, walking into town, pump track, Red Fish Lake, golf ball hunting and just hanging out.  GOOD TIMES :)

Pump track fun :)

GIRLS CAMP

 Rachel had girls camp the last week of June.  My parents and Amy both had their Sun Valley condos this week so Rachel decided to just go for one night to camp.  She went the night they stayed at Trish Hill's cabin with just our ward.  She said it was a lot of fun spending time with the girls in our ward.  Mike offered to be the man at camp so he spent the night up there with Rachel.  I am so glad that our kids don't mind having us around.  Rachel loved that Mike could come up and hangout with the young women.  Thanks young women leaders for making Rachel's (short) camp experience a lot of fun.  You guys are the BEST and she is lucky to have all of you in her life :)
 
 
 
 
Gotta love the candid shots :)

SCOUT CAMP

 Will and Mike went to scout camp the 3rd week in June.  They went to camp Bartlett in Idaho this year.  They were gone from Monday-Saturday.  Mike is still the scout master so he went for the whole week.  He is seriously the best leader.  He is so patient, easy going and gets along so well with the boys.  They are so lucky to have he and Jeff Davies as their leaders.  This is Mike and Jeff's 7th summer scout camp.  Crazy!!!  Will had alot of fun.  It was fun for Will to be there with Mike and have his dads attention all week :) Will got rifle shooting, archery, shotgun, rowing and fishing merit badges.  Thanks Mike and Jeff for being such great examples to our boys and most importantly being their FRIEND!!!
