Park City

Monday, the kids and I spent the day in Park City with some friends.  We were at Park City Mountain Resort most of the day.  There, we went on a zip line, rode the alpine coaster, went down the alpine slide and jumped on a bungee trampline.  Later that day, we went swimming and went to a movie later that night.  It was so nice to get away for a couple of days and to get out of the heat in the Salt Lake Valley.  Only a week and a half til school starts!

Tim, Mak and I went on the zip line.  So much fun!  Long and fast :)  K&K didn't weigh enough for this ride.

Katie got to do down the coaster all by herself this year.  She was a little slow going down, but did a great job!

Kelli and I on the coaster.  She kept screaming, "go faster, go faster!"

Scout Camp

Last week, Tim spent the entire week at a scout camp at the East Fork of the Bear River in northern Utah.  As far as I can tell, he had an enjoyable time!  He earned 5 merit badges and did a lot of walking.  Actually, Tim got to ride in a side by side once his leaders found out that all the walking was making his leg sore.  Tim took a couple of pictures while at camp.  Here are some of the better ones!

Proof that Tim was at camp and saw the helicopter :)

Activity Girls' Day Camp

Last week, my three girls and I attended a day camp for girls age 8-12 in our church.  It was held at a Boy Scout Camp up one of the canyons here. (I actually had college courses at this camp while at BYU.  I spent numerous days and nights at the camp for my camping and leadership classes in my Recreation Management Major.)   We had the largest group-30 girls!!  It was such a fun activity!  The girls got to do "boy stuff"-make rope, shoot BB guns, archery, hand carts, rafting!

All 30 day campers!  This is what girls camp will look like in 5 years, plus a few more!

9 month scans

Yesterday, Tim and I spent the morning at PCMC and Shriner's.  Tim had lab work done, a chest CT and x-rays.  And the results were great!  Blood counts are up, chest is clear and his leg is healing well!  Yay!!  I can't believe it's been 9 months since Tim has ended his treatments.  In October, it will be a year, and we get to spend an entire day at PCMC.  Tim will have to have lab work, a chest CT, x-rays, a bone scan, an EKG and meet with doctors.  Can't wait!

Tim's scan from Shriner's!  Pretty cool to see all his hardware:)

Flathead Lake 2012

We finally made it up to Flathead Lake again this year!  It was great to see the cabin and watch the 12 cousins play together.  There were a few things that needed fixing-some leaky pipes, a section of the dock, the kiddy car (ie Tim's transportation).  This year, there was 20 people at the cabin.  We had a little tent village up in the coral with 7 tents!  Here is a little slideshow of some of the highlights from the week.  Enjoy!
