Fun Times

Our fun vacation started on Friday morning, Darwin's sister came down from Idaho with her girls and Denton got to play with his cousins at the park and at Annie Grams and Grandads house.


Friday afternoon we took off to go camping up by Mirror Lake with our friends from Oregon, they were nice enough to drive all the way to Utah to go camping with us. It was so much fun to see them again, just like old times.



Darwin took a VERY COLD swim in the lake.



Denton was a really good camper, he helped Darwin build the fire but as soon as it started to get big he was very careful and cautious around it.

On the drive home from camping we decided instead of Darwin flying to Arizona that night for work we would drive down so we could all go. Nothing like getting home from camping to shower unpack and re-pack as fast as we could so we wouldn't be driving ALL night.


Denton is the best traveler. We told him that we were going to Arizona (he had no idea what that really meant)and off we went, when we got to Beaver (about 3 hrs into the drive) we discovered that in our hurry to leave we forgot Dentons shoes so he couldn't get out and walk around to stretch his legs. We decided that we would just stop in Page and get him some shoes at the Wal-mart there. When we got to Page Denton did NOT want to get out of the car, we had been in the car now for over 6 hrs. I'm not sure what his idea of Arizona was but he said "No Wal-mart, just Arizona" Even though we were "in" Arizona we didn't want to tell him we were there because we still had a long drive ahead of us, Anyway we finally told him he had to have shoes to go to Arizona and he happily got out of the car.





This hotel was so beautiful and guess what, it even had robes. That's when you know your at a really nice hotel, good thing we didn't have to pay for it. It's way out of our price range. It had it's own golf course, several restaurants and pools this is definitely the nicest hotel I've ever stayed in. Thanks SUNDT for bringing Dar's company to your convention.



I didn't know there was a store named after the town I grew up in.


Denton and his new little buddy Luke, they had so much fun playing together and racing.


We had so much fun seeing our friends in Arizona. It's funny what a difference 2 years makes. 2 years ago we were all hanging out all the time until all hours of the night with no kids around, now all of us have at least 1 child and can only hang out until 9 because the kids are crying and it's way past their bed time.


Got carseat hair???



Denton did great on the ride home too. We told him we were in Utah when we got to Provo. He kept saying "go, go Utes" When we pulled into the garage he started crying, "no, go Utes" I'm not sure where he wanted to go but once again he didn't want to get out. Keep in mind this was about a 12hr drive. We reminded him that his toys were inside so he got out. What a funny kid.

We had a great vacation and look foreward to seeing our friends again soon.
