Camping in the Tetons

The week after school got out we went camping in the Tetons with Anthon & Jenelle and the Johnson's (Jenelle's family). It is so pretty there and besides the sunburns and many mosquito bites we had a great time! The first day we got there we set up camp and went for a hike. The hike was to this beautiful waterfall! 

On this wonderful hike we saw a MOOSE!! It was just eating by the water and we were, no joke, 10 feet away from it. It was so awesome! 

The next few days after the hike we went canoeing into the back country to do some camping. It was so cool and my first time on a canoeing trip! The down side to this was there were so many mosquitos that we felt we were getting eaten alive. We actually went to bed early just to get away from them. We were by a lake and got to even swim in it! Freezing water but worth feeling a little cleaner. haha. 

To end the week we canoed down the snake river! It was a great relaxing ride! We had a blast, and I can't wait to go camping again! 

Another thing to add... the boys, Ryan & Anthon chopped a lot of wood for our fires! They became experts. 

4th of July Weekend

Ryan and I had a great weekend filled with family, friends and fun! We went down on Saturday to my parents house and went camping for the weekend for our family reunion. It was a blast! Horse riding, four wheeling, hotdogs and smores by the fire and lots of memories!

 Paradise!

 Its going! Allie kept throwing things in and knocking the wood over. 

It was funny and we had to tell her that she could do it after it was all built.

At the fire! We all told our favorite memories and ate smores!

We had such a fun time with the family! :) We are making a tradition to have a family reunion every year since our family is starting to get bigger! We always have so much fun together! :) 

After the family reunion we can back home Monday morning to get some stuff done before heading to Idaho Falls for fireworks. We decide to go to Cafe Rio for dinner and it was yummy. Anthon and Jenelle came with us and we decided to pass the time before fireworks we would go to a movie. So we went and saw the new Transformers. It was awesome! Then fireworks time! :) They were so awesome and lasted a long time! It was a fabulous night!

Docking 2011

The Young family has a tradition that every memorial day we go Docking. For those of you who don't know what docking is.. it is castrating sheep. It has to be done every year and so we have a get together to have lunch with all the family. It was Ryan's first time and he did really well! So we went up to Promontory and had a day of docking. It was really windy and cold and then when we were all ready to eat it starting pouring and hailing. We all ate in our cars and under a canape. Here are some pics....
