Wilson Arch (Utah Part II)

 Wilson's Arch was a blast.  We were really hoping to be able to go to Arch's National Park, but getting tickets and finding the time was really hard.  However, this was right off the interstate and super accessible which made it a great pit stop.  We all really enjoyed walking around and of course there was rock throwing!




We had a great time exploring and climbing!


Showing me a cool spot they found.


Is it even possible to go to an outdoor location with boys and NOT throw rocks??

Trip to Utah Part I (Road Trip, Matt & Linda's)

Grandpa Hoer passed away right as the school year was ending.  We didn't know when they were going to do the funeral, but it ended up working out that school would be over and our entire family would be able to make the trip.  We left the afternoon school let out for summer and began the journey north!  It had been a while since we made a road trip and there were plenty of tears and screams along the way, but we had a great time and were able to see so many people we love!

Road Trip
We keep trying to remember to take pictures at state signs, but sometimes kids are sleeping and sometimes the signs are horrible.
Colorful Colorado seemed to be pretty non colorful, haha!
That looks comfortable...

Matt & Linda's House

Matt and Linda were amazing hosts, and we had a great time. Kenney and I had our own room, and then the boys had their own and so did the girls.  Tucker played video games with boys non stop, the hot tub was a HUGE success! The games downstairs were also fun.  Linda let Bentley help her make breakfast. It was a great time even though we didn't spend a lot of time there.
Aunt Linda was awesome and let Bentley help her make a super yummy breakfast!

Bentley had a great time!

 

The hot tub had lights and speakers too!  It was so fun for them.
We gathered all the Hill siblings that were in Utah one evening. So we were able to see some other family too.
Pizza Party!
Chunky Livy!
We saw Shandi, Haley, and Colin.  Sara was also there helping Shandi out, so that was fun too!
All the girls!
Playing some video games with Colin

Like I said, the hot tub was a huge hit!



Linda was so great to let Bentley help! She had a great time cooking.



I spared you from watching/listening to the video of Radley screaming and then Mackenzie screaming and decided to leave you with the more pleasant video!

Elementary Track Meet

 The best day of the school year finally arrived for Damon and Radley.  Bentley had a great time too!  Kenney & I were running all over the place like normal trying to watch as many events as possible.  It was odd not having Kyler there, but fun adding a girl to the mix!  The kids all did really well and had fun!
