Indian Bay Adventure Race

In June we took a road trip with my brother Jeff's family and Brian's sister Melanie to Duchesne, Utah, to do an "adventure race."
 We stopped at the Cabelas in Lehi, Utah, on our way.
 Paisley, Eva, and Ely playing in the sand.
 We camped out at Starvation State Park. It was beautiful and we were right by the water.
 Eva and Paisley always have a great time together!
 Kierra tried out the hammock.
 Me, Brian, Kierra, and Jeff all did the race. It was a 5k with about 10 different obstacles (terrain, carrying a sand bag up a hill and back down, carrying a tire up a hill, crossing the water on a rope, catching a goldfish, running out into the bay, jumping over a fire, throwing a spear, and a few others). It was really a fun race, and the money went towards a good cause (helping cancer patients who have to travel to Salt Lake for treatments). Thanks for inviting us, Jeff!!
 We convinced Kierra at the very last minute to do the race with and she did awesome!! (I hope you made your dad pay up!!) It was also Kierra's birthday that day.
 I just love Brian so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We were glad Aunt Melanie got to come with us, too!! Thanks, Mel.

Minnetonka Cave

In May we went with a bunch of my relatives to the Minnetonka Cave, near Bear Lake. It was a really neat cave...lots of steps but everybody made it just fine.
 
 Mom & Dad
 Eva & Paisley
 Brian & Lindsay
 Ely absolutely loved exploring the cave and wanted to go get down and walk by himself as much as he could. He tuckered himself out!
 We also went to see the Soda Springs geyser, went to my cousin's place in Niter for dinner, and then went to soak in the hot pools in Lava Hot Springs. It was a busy day but so much fun!!
This is Eva at her dance recital. She did very good and was so cute in her costumes. Thanks to everybody who came and sat through the REALLY long recital!!
