Quick, fun trip to Utah

We had a fun, quick trip to Utah the weekend after Labor Day. Here are the kids all "sleeping" in the same hotel bed. We won't be able to do this for much longer!

After Blake and Kaleb headed to Lake Powell with the Torgersen guys, the girls and I went camping with my mom, and Kirsten, and thankfully we convinced Pauline to come with us. We had a great time at this park for lunch in Huntington.


Our campsite was right on the reservoir. Emily jumped right in for a swim. Bex needed a little more convincing, but she also enjoyed the freezing water.

The girls really enjoyed squishing the mud between their toes.

My Dad helped Emily with his kayak. She did great, and never tipped it over.

Me and Pauline enjoying the down time of camping. Loved it!!



Bex found some fishing line and a hook, and went fishing. I think next time she goes on the sailboat, she's going to have something else to do.

We cheered on Shaunalei and Erik as they ran a marathon. Ken, Brent, and Gayle were already done by the time we arrived. It made me tired just driving the 26.2 miles. I can't imagine running that far!

Here's the last picture I took before my batteries died. The pytroglyphs were amazing!

After the marathon, we headed to Springville for a Turner reunion. They did a great job planning the first Turner olympics, including javelin throwing, disc throwing, volleyball, and my favorite: syncronized swimming. Everyone participated, and it was tons of fun. Blake and Kaleb also had a great time in Lake Powell, but thought it was not a long enough trip. I have to agree. Blake said that despite getting sick with terrible allergies. I'm so glad we were able to spend time with family and friends!!
