July 4th camping pictures

Here was our camping spot for the 4th of July weekend. We call this spot The Corral. It has plenty of room for all the trailers, usually 4, and tents, usually 4. It also has room for the 8 4-wheelers. Then there is still room for the kids to play football, kick the can or capure the flag.

Barney Lake off the Piute Trail. We usually don't come to this little lake since it is so far off the usual trail we use. We caught a few but let them live another day. Casey and I came to this lake a couple of years ago and it had snow still.

1 hour into a ride on Oldroyd Trail, part of the Piute trail. Will have to make sure we are to be the 1st ones on the ride next time.

Hunting season

August ended up being a pretty busy month for us. Soccer kept us pretty busy. I planned on taking most of the week off for the Labor Day camping trip. Since we had a Soccer tournament instead, I still took the time off and enjoyed the time to myself. I finally used a gift certificate from the parents from almost 2 years ago and also the birthday money from them this year. Thanks Bet!
Hunting season is fast approaching and for once I am happy for it to come. Casey leaves for the big hunt next Saturday for 8 days. The freezer is getting pretty empty so this is the year he has to shoot something. While he is gone I am planning on painting more of the house. It seems like I only get motivated to paint when Casey is gone. Maybe he should be gone more often. LOL.
The boys are doing well. Jordan had an interview at Pace's on Monday and is to go back tomorrow. We are keeping our fingers crossed. He needs to have worked for a year before he can apply at the Jail to become a clerk. Zach is liking junior high and I am excited because he has Algebra and Spanish, 2 subjects I won't have problems helping him with if he has any questions. Zach is talking about trying out for the school basketball team. We are keeping our fingers crossed. Braxton is in soccer again this year and is struggling a little bit. It should get better once he gets used to playing with this new bunch of kids. I love his new coaches teaching style and Braxton should learn a lot this year.
