Round One:
Dakota and Natasha invited us to go camping at Flaming Gorge and it was so much fun camping with them! The boys went fishing and we made S'mores, went cliff jumping and rafted the Green River. Dakota got a fish hook with a fish fin stuck in his shoe and then the fish he almost caught on the river jumped out after his hook and almost landed in the raft!
"FISH ON!"
Round Two:
The next week we went with Kyle's family to Flaming Gorge for a few days. I didn't get in the water this time, but we rafted the Green River again, Kyle caught 2 fish AND I finally got to eat one! (Summer Bucket List #4) Kyley taught us a fun new game called Quirkle and I loved just riding on the boat.
We learned that pregnant fish are super gross and mushy to eat, so if you gut a fish and see eggs then don't eat it!
On our way home we stopped and did sealings at the Vernal Temple. Our monthly temple trips are going to get harder once we move to Cedar City. St George is only an hour away until the Cedar City Temple is built though.
Round Three:
For Dad's birthday weekend we went to Flaming Gorge again! We rafted down the Green River not just once, but twice in a row, hitting all the white water waves that we could!
Our family temple trip this month was to Vernal Temple, the last one we hadn't been to in Utah!
Kyle and I weren't able to go on the trip to Monticello so that one is still on our list, but my family has been to the other 12 temples in Utah together!
There is nothing better than playing hard and strengthening testimonies all at the same time!
"God intended the family to be eternal. With all my soul, I testify to the truth of that declaration. May He bless us to strengthen our homes and the lives of each family member so that in due time we can report to our Heavenly Father in His celestial home that we are all there- father, mother, sister, brother, all who hold each other dear. Each chair is filled. We are all back home." -Ezra Taft Benson
