Fathers Day at Moon Lake

We spent last weekend camping with friends up at Moon Lake, a beautiful lake on the south slope of the Uinta mountains.  We were all looking forward to getting away, but we are beginning to think 3 days is not enough considering all the packing and effort and drive time that go into the camping weekends.  We'll take what we can get though!

Our destination

Get the boy his fishing pole!
Iris, Miles, Sam and Ivy
Hours of fun in the sand
A rare moment of stillness
Dog lover
Sand chucker
Give the man a boat for the day and look what happens!
Water lover
Jeff's first fish ever!  And caught on the $15 Lightning McQueen kiddie fishing pole.  It was a pretty rainbow trout that the picture doesn't do justice to, but I needed to put up some photo evidence.
All packed up and ready for our trip home

Sunday fun day at Red Butte

We wandered Red Butte Garden this morning.  It was nice to get out and get some fresh air.  The garden is beautiful right now.
Taming the beast
Fragrance garden in all its glory
The moose is always a hit
Pretty Iris in the irises
Look Aunt Jen...it really flies!

Little Red Riding Hood

Another year, another Little Red Riding Hood bike ride.  I got lucky and my name was picked in the lottery for riders.  4,000 women, beautiful weather and no flat tires this year!  My original goal was 70 miles, but my ankle surgery and lack of training required me to be more realistic in my expectations, so I rode 35 miles this year with my friend Sandy.  We had a great day!
Ready or not, here we go!

Birthday fun

We had Miles' 6th birthday party at Jump Around Utah.  We actually had a joint party for Miles and Grayson since their birthdays are close.  We'd been there a few other times and decided it's the way to go.  The kids (and Jeff!) love it and we don't have to cook and clean...what could be better?
