Summertime

Hey Everybody...
i go through these posting spurts. i have just made comments on tons of past posts. here are a few pictures that include some of our summer fun. we went to the ranch for memorial day. it was fun to see grandma and she was happy to see her grandkids too. the ranch is so fun and i think we are going to try and do an overnighter sometime this summer. we went shooting up at the ranch and i have to admit...i have my strong moments. steve got a fishing pole for fathers day and has been trying to go fishing a lot since then. we went up to silver lake up cottonwood canyon. we went at 8 in the morning and didn't get home until 5 or 6. it was a long day (and much harder than expected with a little baby) steve caught 2 fish. one of them he baited onto his hook. (it was swimming right off the shore and he gently dropped his line right in front of it) the other one was a real catch -and we kept it. there was a family that set up fishing right next to us ...they showed up at 2 with about a million little kids. by the time we left the lake at 4 every child they brought had caught at least one fish. we couldn't figure out what we were doing wrong. we need a good coach to show us the ropes. any volunteers? this next picture is of us water skiing for a ward young womans activity. Lily was pooped by the end of the day and fell asleep on the boat as we were loading it back up. we went to the bountiful car show last month and had a fun time, this car was one of my favorite. this last picture is our first camping trip with Lillian. It is much more work to go camping with babies than without them. On this particular excursion we went up Farmington canyon and we stopped at the Bountiful Peak camp site. We forgot our money and got ticketed. The wood was wet and we couldn't keep a very strong fire. It was a long night crammed in our small 2 man tent. We did somehow squeeze a blow up mattress in there. Everytime we moved we woke Lillian. But hey...we haven't given up. We just upgraded for our anniversary to a bigger tent. Bring on the camping trips...!!!! Steve only has 1 month left before school starts. We are trying to make every moment count. By the way is it true...are Matt and Lisa really coming home for good?
