Hikes and Biking

AAAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhh, I love summer! We have been trying to enjoy the outdoors before I start precepting and have no time at all. We have been hiking or biking at least every week! It has been so nice to not be stuck indoors!!! We have even brought along my lil sis and nephew on one hike!

Our Adventure to the Yucky Forest

On Mother's Day my nephew took our family (including my 70+ year old grandma!!) on an adventure to the ycky forest. He had went there earlier in the week with someone in my fam and wanted to show everyone. He told me on the way there "It's pretty creepy". We ended up going on a very long adventure all over the place! It was fun with a three year old, with a good imagination, being the leader!
THE LEADER OF OUR ADVENTURE!!

When we got home from our adventure, we ate watermelon!

Tree House Museum

A few weeks ago Dane, Ronni, Kayleen and kids, and I went to the tree house museum. It was fun, Gabe seemed to have a great time and Lex is happy just to run around. Here are a few pics of our day!!!

Farm Girl

For those who do not know, I am a real farm girl! My whole fam (minus Dillon who is in Chile) went to check the cows on Sunday! We all crammed in the truck and rode down to see them with their baby calves. It was fun to see the cute babies and hang with my fam!




How sweet, baby Lex loves my dad and the cows, she moo's at them, it's so cute!


This is my cow "Heart Head" and her baby calve, no name for the little one yet.

Death Valley National Park

Dane, his Uncle Darrell, and I went camping to Death Valley National Park over the weekend. This was our first camping trip together! Ya we have been married 3 1/2 years, but everytime we have planned to go camping something comes up like moving to Arizona, moving back to Utah, or finding new jobs, but we finally made it!!! The first three pictures are of a place called Scotty's Castle. It is this huge, very nice house in the middle of nowhere. It was way cool!
This is us freezing on our first camping night! When we got up in the morning, our water has froze and we had to use the stove to melt it so we could have breakfast!This is at Badwater Basin, which is the lowest point in the western hemisphere! It is 282 feet below sea level! We walked out on the salty walkway, and on the way back I got the urge to do some gymnastics! I did backhandspring at the lowest point in America!!!! This is at Ubehebe Crater, i thought the sign was funny! You can't tell from the pic but this crater was so big, I ran around it and it probably took 15 minutes! There is a whole group of these craters around this area.
These are of our little hike in some canyon!
