Great quote...

...I make it my business to try to pick up bits of wisdom wherever I can find them. I am enjoying my week of vacation after a very relaxing, perfect weekend at Kelly's Island with Jeff (unfortunately left my camera in the car when we packed our belongings on our bikes and took the ferry out to the island...great time, no pictures) I am spending some fun time with my kids.

Yesterday was Hyrum's day to plan...and so of course we went to the zoo and ate ice cream.

Today is Hadley's day, and after a visit to Petland (I know, I truly love my kids) we came home to eat Chipotle and watch "My Big Fat Greek Wedding." When Grandpa Gary took the kids to the library last week...Hadley gravitated to this DVD and has been begging to watch it. So this is where I picked-up a little truth. If you remember back to the 80's, Tula's nurturing Greek mom says, "The man is the head of the family but the woman is the neck. She is the one who turns the head." Isn't it so true? Well, now we're off to make cookies...Ciao!

Last Day...

Our resort...
Packing up to leave...

One last toast...
Katie and Brinley drunk on root beer - or a week of sleep deprivation whichever is more powerful



Horses with Papa Jack...




Saddling up
Hadley and Laney










"Hey! He bit me!"

Little Farmers...

The kids had a chance to pick the fresh peas at Papa Jack's house. They enjoyed it so much that I had to take a few pictures.

Mountain biking....

Riding the Gondola up to our death...
One last smile...
Holly blogging in real-time...



Matt's 56th innoculation with giardia...
My favorite picture...
Dipping our feet in at the top...


I think Matt's flipping someone off?!?
After this picture the camera got left on a rock while we rode all the way back down the trail to the gondolas. THEN we discovered it had been left behind, sitting all by itself on a rock at the top.
Here are the rescuers of the camera...after round 2...thanks to them we will never forget this trip!
