It's been a while since we've blogged so I figured we better catch up on all of the fun times we've had to finish out our first summer as a married couple.
A few weeks ago we went to the Condie family reunion up at Donut Falls and then to Park City. We had breakfast before the hike and then we hiked up to the falls. Andrew and Danika had fun playing down by the water before we started the hike.
Andrew walked up to the top of the falls with Sheila and waved to us on his way back down while the rest of us stood at the bottom of the falls and watched.
Brooke and Danika had fun waiting with us at the bottom and watching people walk up to the top. They look so cute!
Andrew and I found a couple picture perfect spots on the way back down next to the water. The hike was so pretty and lots of fun.
Andrew thought that Dianne and I were having a hard time making it down the hill so he decided that he would carry us down. How thoughtful!
And when we got back down to our cars, this is what we found... Hopefully they're just there to visit right?! Apparently there was a fire not too far from where we were hiking. Good thing it was a small one!
While we were waiting for everyone to get back down Danika had some fun playing around in the fire truck. She is such a cutie!
Andrew couldn't let Danika have all the fun so he made sure he got a turn to sit in the fire truck too!
After the hike we went up to Park City and had fun walking around and shopping.
Two weeks ago I officially graduated from the U, so Andrew and I went out to celebrate. We went to Boondock's and spent the night bowling, hitting at the batting cages, and playing at the arcade. I don't really know how we only ended up getting one semi-good picture from the whole night but can't you tell we're having lots of fun?!
Last weekend we went down to Lake Powell with a bunch of family and friends. Andrew and I went down a day early with Nick, Kandi, and Zoey and ended up not being able to get on the houseboat when we were supposed to and stayed at a hotel in Kanab. Nick and Andrew made a fort for Zoey to play in (I think they had more fun than she did with it). It was lots of fun spending time with Nick and Kandi before the rest of the gang got down there and then we stayed another day in Kanab before we went down to the lake.
Here she is climbing into the fort. She's obviously having a lot of fun playing in it!
Probably the best part of the drive... ok, one of the best parts of the drive... There are fake cops in Kanab! We had to stop to see a few of them so we could get a good picture of them. You've got to love the Hitler mustache on this one.
Finally! We made it down to the lake and got a great spot right on the "Sand Hill." If you look really close in this picture you can see the white dot at the top of the hill... that's Andrew up there with Nick.
Andrew, Skyler, Nicole, and I built a turtle on the beach. It made it through most of the trip until Trey decided he wanted to "destroy the turtle." Poor little guy didn't stand a chance.
There were some rocks on the side of our beach that we climbed up and jumped off into the water.
It took some convincing but I finally jumped off. Kandi got some great action shots of us jumping off.
Andrew and I climbed up to the top of Sand Hill. I thought I was going to die on the way up, good thing I had Andrew and Trey to help me make it up.
The view was so pretty from the top of the hill! Too bad we didn't have someone with us up there to take pictures for us. You can kind of tell what it looked like though.
Well, now you're caught up on our adventures up to now. We had a great first summer together. Too bad it's over now. Andrew has to start school again on Monday and we're back to real life. I am still not convinced that I won't be bored without homework while Andrew's in school and I'm not. I guess I'll have to find some other stuff to occupy my time! If anyone has some suggestions, let me know!
