Hike to Wind Caves

We have talked about hiking to the Wind Caves for several years and finally decided to do it. Madison came home with us from the Bear River City 24th of July celebration and stayed until Sunday, so when Kyle and Misty came to pick up Maddy we headed for the hike. It was about a 2 mile hike up and then back down. The kids did really well. We had to do a little distracting to keep Tyson going, but he made it. It was a beautiful hike and I would definitely do it again.

July 4th, 2015

I think July is my favorite month of the year. It is a month that is filled with spending time with family and friends celebrating our country's freedoms. I love all the different events and BBQ's that happen. It's a time that there is not much expected other than spending time with family. There's no gifts expected, just maybe a side salad.

For the last couple of years, we have spent the 4th of July at my good friend, Michelle's, in Hyrum watching the Hyrum parade. This year Maisie got invited to be in the parade throwing candy for her Orthodontist (also our next door neighbor). She enjoyed it, but it was very hot. Madison and Michelle's daughter, M'Kenzie also threw candy.

We enjoyed a yummy BBQ at Michelle's after the parade.

Shopping for vacation

Misty and Maddy came over and spent most of the day going shopping for our vacation starting on Monday, July 6th. We went to Walmart, Pepperidge Farms, Theurer's in Lewiston, Sam's Club, Macey's, and Gossner's. Why do us woman have to make everything so complicating? We could have got everything at one store, but we like to make our shopping trips a day trip. We had a great time and can't wait for our vacation to Redfish Lake.
