Old Draft, never published....Summer fun....Pine Valley

So, I was looking through my drafts and for some reason this post was never published!! It's too cute since it's almost two years ago!!
Miss Kenna was 5 years old and about to enter Kindergarten that fall!

Miss Jordyn was about to turn 3! What's funny is that we still have that play snake:)

Horrible pic of me but adorable of Mr. Aiden who was about 3 months here!!

Going for a hike!!

I remember this campsite too!! It was awesome and it was also the last year before they changed them all. Now they are all too close together:(
Hubs and baby boy!!

The girls slept in late!! They were zonked:)

But little man was up bright and early!! I remember his Mama didn't sleep very well that night because he wouldn't sleep unless I was holding him!!

Papa reading his book!! :)

I was trying to lean back so I wasn't in the pic. Guess it didn't work:)

We got some great shots of the deer this trip!!

......and squirrels!!

Are you looking at me??/

Beautiful!!

Pine Valley Camping Trip!

We were short on funds this year but still wanted to get out of town for a couple of days. So where do you go when you want to have fun on a budget? Camping of course:)

This is just 13 miles in!!

 And the girls were watching a movie so it was a very pleasant ride up there:)

 We've been going to Pine Valley for years but this is the first year that all the camp sites that we would normally be able to go to were completely closed. This was a true bummer because they were nice and private and shady. The new sites are very close together and right up by the road and not as much shade. Trav and I had gone up there on a previous trip to St. George for a funeral and I wrote down the ones that looked decent before we made reservations. I'm glad I did because I think we got the best site in the place!! I still didn't like the place where we HAD to put our tents but I contined to feel better about it whenever I looked at other sites.
This is my stud muffin in his camo pants!! I couldn't look at him without smiling! Aiden seriously was a great camper. The only problem was worrying about him going out into the road. He never really did but he liked walking around the cars and we never knew if he might actually go out there so we were always walking after him. He loved camping. He just explored and walked and explored and played and explored some more.

 Beautiful scenery on our hike!!

 A deer!!!!! Can you see her??? Her ears are perked up right in the middle of the picture!

Girls chilling out in the evening watching a movie! Now that is true camping, I tell ya;)

 Makenna and Jordyn loved the besnoclears.:)

 Stud muffin again in his camo pants and boots:)

 Girls exploring around our campsite!

 Trav said Aiden looked like a little British boy with his hat on:)

 Pretty Kenna! She LOVED camping!! She did not want to come home!! She was a great camper. She would even go squat behind the rocks to do her business!! That's my girl:)

 Miss Jordyn!! She loved camping as well. She just didn't want to walk on the hike. She kept asking to get into Aiden's backpack carrier. Daddy finally put her up on his shoulders!

 Kenna exploring!

 Trav and the girls!

 Me and Aiden!

 Pretty lake!!

Crazy dude running around the cars! We had a great time and although I'm happy to be home with my bed and shower, I'm not happy about being back in the heat! :)

Pine Valley

A couple weeks ago we decided to get out of this 110 degree heat and go up to Pine Valley for the day. My family has been going there since I was little and we have gotten Travis to love it as well. It's not that far but far enough where you feel like you went somewhere:) So we picked up Grandma and we were on our way!!

This was Aiden's first car trip. He did really well going up but was kind of fussy coming back. All in all was not too shabby!

We had a yummy chicken lunch when we got there and then went on a hike. Aiden loved his first hike. He chewed on his fist for awhile and then fell asleep.

My happy girls!! They loved being out in nature and being outside without sweating to death.

I love going here. It's so pretty!!

Family of five!!

Daddy and Jordyn

On the way back, the girls had to go potty so we let them water a tree! I don't think this is a good idea for little ones just barely potty trained because lately Jordyn has been 'going' in weird places. Just yesterday she went poopoo in the backyard! Yeah.....um......:)

So pretty!

Cows!! There were quite a few right on the road!

Horses with a goat friend.

We would love to move up there....or just have a summer house maybe??? :) Can I have this one. It was so cute with a wrap around porch.

Or can I have this one? It's a blurry pic but the house pretty much uses up the whole pic. My dad said that the people that own this house won megabucks! Um......let's go play!!! :)
