For the past month we have been going crazy traveling. I feel like we have lived in the trailer and out of suitcases since summer began.
It all started with Memorial
weekend. We headed up with Laraine and Drew to their family cabin in Duchesne. We did nothing but puzzles, watched movies and ate junk for 4 days. It was surprisingly very relaxing considering how bleeping cold it was outside.
Best parts:
•Emmett and Shadow being gay best friends.
•Laraine and I having to drive back to the little store for more Chocolate covered cinnamon bears. Those things are covered in chocolate, then dipped in crack! We cleaned the store out!!
•Putting the kids to bed and watching movies with adults.
•Squishing 4 adults, 2 kids, 2 dogs and all of our crap into the Pilot.
•Trying to eat order Wendy's and eat in the car without spilling anything.
Next we headed to our favorite yearly retreat...LAKE POWELL! We go every year with the Lassig family. I have gone every year with them since I was a junior in high school. We spend the week wakeboarding, jet skiing and getting tanned.
(Quinn wailing on Gavin....he deserved it)
Memorable moments:
•Quinn and I setting up a napping spot in the kitchen of the trailer right in front of the A/C with the iPad propped up so we could watch Tangled.
• I'm the boss at wakeboarding. Just sayin'. (and so is tim)
• I managed not to get sunburned!
• Gavin did not leave the lake! He was diving off rocks. Jumping off the boat and shooting people with water guns.
•Murder mystery....I'm the worst murderer EVER! Tim is the best.
As soon as we came home from Lake Powell we had 2 days to leave get ready to leave for my work camping retreat. Camping (or doing anything with the Roberts) is pristine! They spare no expense to take care of us. They got us a fancy little campsite with private (super clean) bathrooms, a giant pavilion with a real live kitchen, oh, and full freaking hookups! They wined and dined us until we were sick. It was such a great time.
This is why I could never quit my job! I love these people and I love what I do!
Best of the best:
• Learning the pleasure of having full hookups for our trailer...NO NOISY GENERATOR!!
• golfing, cards, and s'mores until we were sick.
• Quinn and Carly are best friends again.
• I was able to braid Quinn's mullet! It's a miracle!!
Now we are officially headed home with Quinn crying about buying a pink swimming pool. I think we all need to rest!
