Snowbird

 We went up to Snowbird to Oktoberfest. We enjoyed the ride up, the leaves were in full color. We also looked for some good camping spots but couldn't find any that would work. I guess if we go up again we will have to stay at the lodge which would be a lot of  fun.
 They had so many fun things to do like: Zip Lines, Tram or ski lift ride, trampolines, obstacle courses and tons of booths with local fair. You could easily spend a day or two up at Snowbird. The weather was so nice, the fun thing was that 2 days later Snowbird got snow.
 The Girls
They had a bunch of different entertainment.
 This is the giant tent that was full of German food and entertainment.
 Absolutely Beautiful.
 They had a ton of these cut out around the resort.
 After a fun afternoon at Snowbird we went back to the hotel to get ready for dinner.
 We ate at this fun little hole in the wall called the Pie Hole.
 The whole group waiting for the Dueling Pianos to start.
 If you are having a celebration then they call you up on stage to sing to you. It was Jessica's birthday (Lol). She didn't want to go so the crowd was helping her.
 So for payback they said it was me and Jason's anniversary.
Next up was all the pretty boys. Ha Ha
We had a great time with our friends. It is always fun to have a adults night out.

Blue Dragon Soccer

 Talan loved playing soccer this year.
 The Blue Dragons.
 Talan was so excited that the team picked the name Blue Dragons because he suggested it.
 Talan warming up before the game.
 Talan moments before he made a goal. He gets so excited when he makes one.
 It has been so fun to watch Talan play soccer this year. It is amazing how much improvement he has made over the last year.
 Talan had some great coaches this year. They really taught them how to play the game and were just as excited as the kids when they made a goal.
 After game treats are almost as fun as playing. Who would bring doughnuts but no napkins. Just joking with you Joe B.
Talan draws quite a crowd. Usually Grandma and Grandpa Jones come to the games to. 
Talan has improved so much this year. He is running faster and has made quite a few goals. Way to go Talan keep practicing.

Springville Crossing

For Labor Day weekend we went camping at our traditional camping spot. It rained Friday and Saturday but was nice Sunday and Monday. Addy and I didn't let a little rain stop us from trying to catch a fish.
Me and my fishing partner.
During one of the down pours Jess pulled out the finger paints and rolled paper. The kids had a great time painting on the giant paper.
 Even a little rain can't keep us from having a good time.
Look at me Mom!
Messy Little Fingers.
Everyone had a great time painting.
Jason put this board over a giant puddle by our trailer but Linx thought it made a great trampoline.
Talan showing us his super strength.
The clouds lifted and we took an atv ride up to the look out.
Linx is a little rock climber.
Crew was our camping fashionista. I loved the purple fairy helmet with the Spiderman Moon boots.
Lincoln made it to the top.
Riding through the mud and the muck.
The kids getting their camping cones ready to roast.
Talan ready and waiting to go on another ride.
Linx you crack me up. You have such a fun personality.
Me and my riding buddy. Notice the fishing pole strapped on the front because you never know when you might have to stop and catch some fish.
We had to stop by the haunted house on our way to the tub. The ghost looks an awful lot like Jason.

The old Haunted House up Diamond Fork.
One of the atvs broke down, so we had to ride with 4 people on one atv. How redneck can we get.Lol
Every year we ride up to the tub. We even take the kids out on the old crumbling bridge. This definitely will not get us the parents of the year award.  My grandma said her dad used to take her to the tub and she absolutely hated going out on the bridge.

The kids playing in the fields at Strawberry Ridge. It is so fun to be at the top of the mountains and look out over Strawberry Reservoir.
Lincoln likes to fish too. As soon as he wakes up he asks where his fishing pole is.

A bunch of the kids playing at camp.
We usually have quite a few visitors come visit while we are camping. What can we say, we are so fun to hang out with I guess.
Talan spent a whole afternoon carving this stick like grandpa Jones.
The camping trip ended and the clean up began. Both of the boys cleaning their toys. We always have a fun time camping with the Bills family. This year we had a lot of visitors come up and it was so fun to just hang out with everyone at camp.
