A Fun-Filled Summer!

I can't believe July is over and we are half way through August!! July went by in a blink of an eye and I guess that is all due to being really busy! Looks like our August will be about the same if not more! I have been a slacker at blogging -among other things!! But here is our updates!

We have been trying to fit in as much into our summer as possible. We invited some family and went to Cowabunga Bay. We went without Brielle last year and had a blast, but decided to bring her along this year. She loves swimming! She loved playing in the kiddie pool and the lazy river. & in this picture apparently the garbage can too =)

Jeremy has had the itch to fish. So we have been going as often as possible.We went to Silver Lake Flats up American Fork Canyon. It was so pretty and peaceful. We saw lots of little duck families. Jeremy and Weston fished while Brielle and I went for small walks, played in the dirt, threw rocks in the lake & I got to read a little too. It was all catch and release that day. Not too many worth keeping.

Brielle playing with the rocks. Her favorite toy!

Jeremy & Weston fishing-they almost blend in to the rocks.

The end of July we headed up to Miller's Flat area for the unofficial Stilson tradition of camping together as a family. But due to work and other scheduling it was just us and Ed & Sharron. Kim & family were going to come, but the rain scared them away. And I don't blame them a bit! I wouldn't want to put up a tent in the rain for one night! Thankfully, Ed & Sharron let us borrow their trailer and we really enjoyed not having to be in a tent either. In between storms we fished and went four-wheeling. It was a nice week away from the city. Our dogs were happy to be there too! So much so that they didn't want to leave and we had a hard time getting them in the truck to go home. The stars were so beautiful camping as always! They are my favorite part!

Peek-a-boo! Brielle loved playing in the trailer.

Jeremy and I fished at Huntington Reservoir. So beautiful! & yes I like to fish! It is the best time to get in some book reading even though Jeremy finds that annoying. He says I don't enjoy the nature if I am reading. But I beg to differ.

Hunting Season starts this weekend and so Jeremy is getting ready. He hasn't hunted the past two seasons so he is happy to get back to his favorite past time. My 10 yr class reunion just happens to be the same day as opening day of the hunt so I will unfortunately be going alone or with Brielle. I'll keep you updated on those after this weekend.
