What We've Been Up To

This summer has been absolutely wonderful!!! We kicked it off Memorial Day Weekend by going to the Miller Family Reunion at Wolf Creek. We spent 3 glorious days in the condos there and even had fun in the cold, cold water. The older boys were having a race in the raft from the shore, around the buoy, and back to shore. Donovan beat them all by doing it in 4 minutes and 18 seconds.

During the second week of June we went up to Park City and stayed a couple nights at the condos there as well. Although I don't have any pictures to show it, we had a blast!!! We usually go on the Alpine Slide, but this year we decided to ride the Alpine Coaster. Way more fun!!! Then we did the usual activities at the condos, Wii tournaments in the children's room, swimming, spending all our change in the arcade, etc. Best of all, it was sooooo relaxing!

Onto Father's Day. Jeff finally got the camera that he has been wanting for quite sometime, a digital SLR. He's been taking pictures nonstop since he got it, including several, several pictures on Father's Day, so I'll only show a few here. We got both dads (grandpas) a personalized tie with our childrens' names on it.

My grandpa broke his hip a couple weeks before Father's Day. So, we visited
him at the rehab facility. We got him a book from one of his favorite General
Authorities, Elder Wirthlin, called Press On.

Here's Grandpa Burgener holding up his tie. The ties also say "We Love
Grandpa" on the bottom.

A week after Father's Day, Jeff and boys went to our ward's Father's & Son's Campout. They had a lot of fun!!! My favorite pictures are of the boys fishing.

A couple weekends ago we went to Strawberry Lake, Soldier Creek, for our ward campout. Most of the pictures that we took were of Little E, but since we can't post those here you'll just have to believe me that they were super cute. We had a pretty good time, but the campground was disappointing. It was so full of sagebrush that it was very difficult to find a clear, flat spot for the tents. Many families that came up decided not to spend the night because of these conditions. However, we were lucky because we were the first one's there so we got first pick. Our area was pretty nice. We had our own fire pit and picnic table, and we were on a hill that overlooked the reservoir. We rented a fishing boat and Jeff took the kids on the lake while I tried fishing from the shoreline. None of us caught anything, not even a bite. But we had a good time trying.

Well, that's it for now. We are going to be going on another adventure in a couple weeks down to Arches. We'll be there for 5 days, so I'm sure we'll come back with many pictures as well as some pretty good stories.
