Jump & Bounce...

Enjoyed our times we spent at Jump & Bounce this summer.. Our friends suggested we get a month pass (a killer deal,) and so we did, much funner for the kiddos to go with friends.. We had such great fun with the Blackhams, Hammonds and Broughs at Jump & Bounce.. A few pictures from our bounciest days...

Good times..

4th of July..

As going with our 4th of July we went to Raging Waters this year, now called Seven Peaks.... A few gripes about the new changes.. The cost I didn't really mind going up a tad, however when they charge you now to park, to rent a lawn chair (are you kidding me, 3.00) will not allow any outside food or drink and yes they searched EVERYTHING, kinda was a deal breaker for me!!! Esp since they did nothing to improve the park, it was exactly the same as last year. Although, as always we had a great time. A few of my favorite moments there..

Cheesers..

Girls Camp...

I was asked to be the assistant camp director this year for the girls camp... We went up to the Heber Valley Campground, or as it is often called The Temple on The Mountain.. It was truly a moving experience for me.. I had so much fun, loved every minute of it.. Just a few of my favorites pics and memories from camp..

Our campsite.. Cabins, pavilion, tables, restrooms, showers, gas stoves, fridges, water, storage, fire pit... LOVED.. :)


Our cabin... Each cabin fit 16 people.. They were so cozy.



Our Camp Director, Kami.. She was just amazing.. Loved working with her.


Challenge Course 3.. This is court doing the zip line challenge... Up the net..


Crossing the ladder...


Down the zip line.


Spider web challenge, had to get every girl through a different hole without letting any part of her touch the rope.. :)


The perfect 4 marshmallow smore.. DIVINE.. :)


Coloring on the table cloths.. They did this a lot, loved looking at all of their drawings.


Go team pink!!


My cabin girls.. Loved every one of them.. :)


This was probably my most favorite thing that we did at camp. The canoe challenge.. The girls all got into their canoes, paddled out into the middle of the lake and stopped.. There was 2 minutes of silence and then all of the girls sang I Feel My Saviors Love... I was the only one from our group who stayed back on the shore and really the only one in our group that could hear them.. It literally gave me goose bumps.. What an amazing thing to witness... One that I will always hold dear to my heart.. :D


Chalet, Courtnee and Laura..


My cute Courtnee Jane..


Abby, Laura and Court..


The main reason I went to camp.. So I could experience this whole thing with my sweet Courtnee.. Man I love this girl.. :)



We did so many amazing things up there... We played tons of minute to win it challenges, winner was immune from cooking or cleaning.. Needless to say my team pink always was cooking or cleaning.. :) We sang, did skits, made lots of crafts, had quiet time, played musical cabins, ate like kings, watched the wildlife, met amazing new people, and much much more.. But most importantly I think we all grew, spiritually... :) Thanks girls, leaders, and everyone else for making it marvelous..
