Birthday, Camping, This is the Place, Father's Day.

 Spencer's FNAF art is coming right along. He found a roll of paper and has decided to draw a FNAF mural. These are the first three. If you don't know what FNAF is (Five Nights at Freddie's), be happy. Hahah! But it's currently Spencer's favorite video game. 

We went to a Stake Campout outside of Kamas, UT Friday night and it was just delightful. We decided to bring dinner instead of hauling stuff up there to cook, so we grabbed some Panda Express and ate it on the way. We had a lovely time. Roasted some marshmallows, swung on their swings, met some new people, camped without the rain fly so we could see the stars. It was lovely. Granted, it did start raining just a bit at 5:15AM so Bill and I had to get up and put the rainfly on, but still worth it. I really love camping and since the stake made us breakfast, it was the easiest camping trip ever. 

We took advantage of already being up Parley's Canyon and stopped by This is the Place Monument Saturday morning after the campout. It's one of the places we have tickets to with our Salt Lake Connect Pass. It was way more fun than I expected. I don't know what I did expect, but I was so pleasantly surprised how much fun the kids had. They liked everything there. Nobody complained about anything. It was delightful. Highlights were riding the train, pony rides, panning for gold, and of course ice cream and donuts at the end. 

Chloe glammed herself up with a bunch of hair stuff. 

One of the delightful things about living in Utah is we have tons of my family here. We did a June family birthday party last Monday and it was so fun. My sister, my niece, and Chloe all have birthdays a week apart and we celebrated them all. 

Genevieve is a reading maniac this summer. It makes me so happy. And she reads in the funniest positions. I caught this one on camera. 

And last but not least, we had a lovely Father's Day. It was a pretty laid back day. Good food, lots of chatting, plenty of laughing. Just about perfect. I got Bill this lava lamp to replace the one that he's had for years that broke somewhere between South Carolina and Washington and Utah. I can't remember when it bit the dust but it's been a while, and this purple one is his favorite color, so it was perfect. It's really cool looking. The wax inside has metallic silver mixed in with the purple.
