Family Vacation: Wednesday is a Outside Day (#30 All day outside day-mostly :) )

The bunk beds in the cabin were so much fun! Everyone like to climb up and all be on the top bunk!

We spent the morning doing Geo-Caches around the park…


Here are the boys both looking at the GPS unit:

What good friends these two are

We hiked/looked all over the park


Stopped to play at the playground for a bit





Elliot was so excited about his geo-caching treasure: A golf ball!

We stopped at the dock to throw in some rocks: (Tucker was not happy, he wanted to go fishing and swimming, but there was a storm heading out, so we couldn’t.)

And that day Lorelei, just LOVED going up and down and up and down, and giggled and giggled and giggled. Wish I was stronger and could’ve done it all day long!




After lunch, we headed to town, got an ice-cream,



and continued geo-caching, visited the temple again, as well as the pioneer house built into the side of the mountain.





Afterwords, we went back to the cabin, and the boys really wanted to go fishing. And this is one of my favorite memories of the whole trip….So while I was preparing dinner, and had bathed Lorelei. Toph and the older boys went down to the lake. They fished for a short time, then returned, as another storm was blowing in, and both the boys had fallen in the lake, whilst fishing. I had gotten the coals going on the bbq, and was just covering them up with tinfoil, as the rain was starting to sprinkle. Toph grabbed the shower stuff, and headed to the showers with Tucker and Truman, and Elliot. I finished dinner prep, and then headed to go get Elliot from the showers, and the storm was fast approaching. I mentioned it to Toph, and they finished showering as fast as he could, with Tuck and Tru. I returned Elliot to the Cabin, and then waited on the porch…only to see the boys start coming back to the cabin, right as a MONSOON of a storm hit. They ran thru the rain, and I ran to help, we all returned to the cabin soaked to the bone, and Toph and I were laughing. Truman was crying, as his clean jammies were all wet, and Tucker was kind of in shock, and didn’t say to much. Elliot starting crying seeing Truman crying, and that set Lorelei off. So 3 of the 4 kids were screaming, Toph and I were laughing, and it was a moment to remember. 🙂
The next morning we packed up our car, and headed home.
A great family vacation in 2011. 🙂
