Pioneer Becca is home!

I was so excited for Becca to get home from Trek today. She had such a fun time. It was a great experience for her. She is exhausted and is not sure that she ever wants to eat beef jerky or rolls again. She is sure that she was in the best family and loved her Ma and Pa Lisl and Pat Barney. I am so glad that she was able to go and that she survived. I posted some before Trek pictures so here are the after Trek pictures. I still think she is pretty cute!

Palisades Lake

Mike's family was having a reunion at Palisades Lake down by Manti and he invited us to come down for the day. The kids had a blast. We rented a canoe and Devin told Mike's son Preston that he didn't need to worry because he had his canoeing Merit badge. Thanks to the scouting program he is a pro. lol They swam, pushed each other off of the dock and fished all day and I enjoyed sitting in a chair and watching them. It was very relaxing. I can't believe that I grew up 20 minutes from Palisades and the only time I had been there was golfing on a date once. (I must have been a bad golfer because my boyfriend only took me once.) We are for sure going back.

Swimming lessons

Megan finished her swimming lessons today. She swims like a fish. It is totally worth it to go stand in line at 5 am in the freezing rain to get signed up for lessons at Shinsel's Pool. They really do a great job. I enjoyed having an hour to sit and talk to my friend's while I watched Megan swim of course! ;)

Sending Becca on Trek.

I was so excited for Becca to have the opportunity to go to Trek. She was even excited once she realized that her clothes weren't any uglier than anyone elses. I couldn't get to sleep the night before she left. I was worried that I would forget to send something that she would need. She gets home tomorrow and I can't wait to hear about all of her experiences. Here are some cute pictures of she and her friends getting ready to leave for their great adventure.

A very fun day! :)

Today we spent the day with the Moon family. First we went to the Temple open house. It is beautiful! I loved the windows and the star shaped chandeliers. I also loved the paintings on the walls of the ordination rooms. Becca and Koleton had fun playing "I spy" looking for different animals. I will have to remember that the next time I go. It may help me to stay awake. lol When we were done in the temple Mike's daughter said "Yeah we made it, now we get cookies!" She is a very smart girl. When we were in the reception area some guy asked Becca to be in a picture with him because his friends had girls in the picture with them and he didn't. It was hilarious! Devin was being grumpy and refused to be in any pictures so I hurried and snapped one of him before he went to the car to prove that he was really with us. After the Temple we went up to the Kennecott Copper mine and then back to my house for a BBQ and to let the kids swim. It was a very fun day!
