Annual 4th of July trip to Starvation!
Ava, Hazel, Taylor, and Camille.
Camille was determined to slalom this summer and she did it. I think she got up on the second try, way to go!! She loves it:) It's so rewarding to see your kids find something they love to do.
Garet and Hazel on the knee boards.
Hazel, Uncle Zac, and Garet. This is Jared's cousin Zac. He is super fun and loves the kids! He will make a great Dad someday.

Traci, Mia, Camille, Nate, Jeremy
Grandpa had to give it a whirl too.

Garet is quite the surfer this year.
These boys had the best time casting sticks into the water and reeling them in. Luke, Dallin, and another 2nd cousin.
Beach camp. Nothing better:)
Amanda sporting a bike helmet this year. Last year it was the Lacrosse helmet. She's had stitches from a wake board before. You can't blame her.
Garet, Mason and gang found lizards.
Dallin and Luke drove these dump trucks for hours each day.
Kaydi and Andreas watched our kids while we went to Bear Lake with the youth on an over-nighter. I think they had a good time! Aunts and Uncles get to spoil you when your parents are out!
Day Camp at Camp Kiesel
Flaming Gorge with the Cable Fam! It was pouring rain when we arrived, but the week turned out nice. It was a little windy, but we still had plenty of fun. Camille and Greyson.

Mason the beach bum. He is a happy camper as long as he can play on the beach.

I finally got the hang of surfing this year. It comes close to being my favorite thing to do, but I still love to slalom.
Cute Cowgirl Paige
These two are either best buddies or worst enemies.
Garet's giant cabbage that he grew for school. WOW!
Summer rain. We love our garden.
First Hooper Farmers Market.
Lake Powell - Homers 2015
We had a great time. Paige and Dallin got to come with us this year. They did really well on the houseboat.
This is all Garet did the entire trip....jump in and out of the water:)
Mom and Dallin going for a paddle board ride.
Mason and Scarlett building on the beach.
Long boat rides put worn out kids right to sleep. G-ma Homer, Garet, and Dallin.
Mason and G-pa Homer are good buddies. I'm grateful my kids get to know my Grandparents.
"Nurfing" - knee boarding on the surfboard.
4-generation ski picture. Camille - 11, G-pa Homer - 83, Lisa - 54, Crystal - 33
Grandpa will ski once while we are at Lake Powell and this time we convinced him to do a 4 generation ski. I think we wore him right out, but we got the picture!
I think we had 40-45 people this year. Quite the crew! We love that Uncle Ray and Aunt Julie let us use their house boat. It's one of my favorite trips!
Paige thinks she needs to learn how to ski. We keep telling her the skis are too big for you, so she practices on the tube.
We took a quick trip down to Spring City to see the Madsen's. We went bowling one morning.
They even had shoes small enough for Paige.
Camille still misses Riley, alot:)
They have an amazing turkey farm with a new house they just moved into. It's beautiful out in the country. The big turkeys, almost ready to be Thanksgiving dinner.
The babies are definitely the cutest.
They grew a pumpkin patch too.
Until next time!
The kids playing house and having fun together.
The forced smile is always a classic.
