Logan Adventure

I absolutely LOVE weddings, so any chance we get to go to one I am thrilled. What's even better is getting to go into temples I haven't been in before.
 
 
This past weekend, one of Tyson's old mission companions, TJ,  got married up in the Logan Temple. It was such a perfect day for a wedding. Now lets just take a minute at look at those flowers! One of my favorite parts of going to any temple, is how gorgeous and well taken care of the grounds are. We even noticed a bride and groom, who you could tell were not married. Tyson was pretty excited not only to see TJ, but to see Lanny Owens. Lanny and his wife served as the mission couple in part of his mission, so we had fun catching up with him. He has always taken such good care of us and we love any chance we get to see him.
 
       
     

We are so excited for TJ and his new beautiful bride, Erika. They are so perfect for each other and we can't wait to have some fun adventures with them. I love getting new married friends to hang out with.

 
We may or may not have gone all out and ate way too much food while we were up north, like we always do on road trips....oops. :)

 
 
Well another summer weekend road trip is in the books and I am already looking forward to the next one. This kid makes our adventures so much fun. I even stayed awake for the whole drive up and back this time, which is very weird for me. Although, It's kind of hard to sleep though while your hubby keeps making farm animal sounds as loud as he can. And on that note, I will leave this lovely video....enjoy!

Spend❤ family Adventures

Saturday morning, bright and early, my family all met at my parents house, then loaded up and headed north to Kayak down the Sevier River. Whit and Adam couldn't make it because of her pregnancy making her so sick lately. So we really missed them, but hopefully we will go again when they can come. 



The kids were a little skeptical at first, but slowly, one by one, they started to really enjoy it. 

My dad was a whole other story. He acted like a 16 year old boy paddling around in circles and going super fast, "showing us how it's done". 


I love having a twin who is married to a great guy. It's so fun having such good friends with us whenever we go on family trips. We can always count on a good time with these two.



The best part of the trip for me was seeing Tyson enjoying himself and not being stuck in a wheelchair watching us have all the fun. I am so grateful that he has made such a big recovery from his surgery so he is able to join in on the actives with us again. 


The part we stopped at was right next to the BIG ROCK CANDY MOUNTAIN! I have been there once as a child, but it was fun to go back and see it. Plus to make things even better there were a few old train cars that had been remolded into little hotels you could rent out and stay in. I told Tyson that we are for sure coming back to stay in the cute yellow one some day. It is a dream of mine to ride on a legit train.


Overall it was a wonderful and much needed family trip. I can't wait until our next one and hopefully Whit and Adam can make it also. If you haven't Kayaked down a river, I HIGHLY recommend it. It's now one of my new favorite hobbies :)
