Summer Wrap Up

I can't believe summer is pretty much over. Here are some pictures of how we finished it off.

Camping and fishing at Strawberry Reservoir

Funny story with that... David and I had quite the adventure trying to get up there. David had such good intentions and thought it would be great to take the more "scenic route". Over 3 hours later, we finally arrived alive at the camp:) We took a "Hazardous Road: 4 wheel drive recommended" in his little car for over 40 miles! I guess we can all laugh about it now. H/H:) It will be a trip of many memories. So for future reference, those of you who want to get to Strawberry through Hobble Creek Canyon, it is not highly recommended.

Swimming with friends at the SCERA pool in Orem

Notice Adam is not to be found with his little playmates. I think he spent most his time going up and down the water slide, oblivious to anyone or anything else around him:)

WAY BETTER THAN BAYWATCH!

Cougar Kickoff

Adam really enjoyed the Cougar Kickoff this year. He found this shirt at their annual athlete clothes sale and put it on all by himself.

The kickoff was so fun. We told him we were going to a BYU Football Practice, so he wore his BYU shirt and jersey like 3 times (more if I would have let him), thinking we were going each day. The day we were going he must have thought we were going in the morning, because he would just cry and say, "I want BYU futball pactice!" It was a long day waiting for it to come:) They actually cancelled the practice, but we were still able to go to the Cougar Kickoff where all the Fall Sports teams were there and they had music, activities, autographs, lots of free stuff, and all the coaches and some of the players spoke. It was fun. Adam still talks about it. We sure love our Cougars!

Dirt Biking up American Fork Canyon

David and his brother, Michael, have loved dirt biking this summer. They wish they could go more, but have definitely gotten great use out of their bikes! Now, you wonder where Adam's motorcycle obsession come from:)

Camping and Fishing

We bought a year pass to American Fork Canyon since it is so close. We have really enjoyed it. We'll just go up for a Family Home Evening and roast hot dogs and marshmellows, or camp overnight, fish at the reservoirs, go hiking, or dirt biking. It is a beautiful canyon, and we feel so grateful we can take advantage of it!

Our favorite campsite, that is no longer a campsite! We camped here at this beautiful spot on the 4th of July and the next time we came back, there were "No Camping" signs. We think it was a trail head for a nice hike. Too Bad.

Fishing at Silver Lake on the 4th of July. It started out a little chilly, but ended up being a beautiful day. We took our little raft out and even caught 3 fish! Adam was quite the fisherman:)
