Summer Fun

City Creek Park in Cedar City is one of our favorite summer activities. There is a beautiful trail to hike, a stream to wade in, and a volleyball court with sand. The kids love to wade in the water and race sticks or shoes.

Douglas Family Reunion

The Douglas Family Reunion was held in Oak City this year. Rich and Karen were in charge and planned many great activities that everyone enjoyed. The weather was cold and rainy but didn't seem to affect the activities much. We went hiking in the lava tubes near Delta, rode four wheelers, swam at the Delta pool, and enjoyed spending time with each other. The kids loved spending time with their cousins and climbing the rocks in the campground.

Graduation

My baby sister graduated from high school in June. I cannot believe she is old enough to be headed off to college...makes me feel old! She was just a baby when I left for college. I am so proud of her...she graduated with her medical assistant certificate and was a student body officer. She has grown into such a beautiful, amazing young woman. The kids and I traveled up for her graduation and spent the week visiting with family. The kids had a great time sleeping in the tent in Grandmas back yard, making smores on her fire pit, playing with Barkley, seeing Grandpa's new baby chicks, and jumping on the tramp. The girls stayed for a few days with grandma and went to see the horses, visited the train museum, and had a much anticipated tea party with Grandma Libby.

Father and Sons

Our ward Father and Sons was the end of May. My dad came down to go with Jim and the boys. They all had a great time camping and playing out at 3 Peaks. The boys loved climbing the rocks and even found a lizard that they brought home to show the girls.
