Jeff's son Zack came to visit for a few days and it just so happened he turned 18 on Friday!! I can't believe he is 18! I first met Jeff right before Zack's 3rd birthday!! We had alot of fun while he was here. We went out boating and took a good friend of ours, Jordan, who is also 18 and who Zack has known for most his life! All the boys had tons of fun! I was overruled by the 6 boys on the boat!

Zack wanted to go camping for his birthday so we packed everything back up and went again! (We had only been home 3 days from the last camping trip!) We went back to Navajo Lake but on Friday (Zack's b-day) we went up the road a little to Aspen Mirror Lake to fish. Zack kept saying he wanted to fish and boy did he get his birthday wish! After about 3 hours we had 16 fish on the stringer!! Zack was pretty excited about that! After he caught his limit he helped his little brothers, they all love it when he helps them! We headed back to camp and had fun roasting marshmallows, hanging out in the lake and enjoying the time. We headed back home a day early because of the weather, it started its normal summer monsoon and we didn't want to be caught in it. Sunday we spent time with grandma, swimming and taking all the fish the boys caught and made yummy fish tacos!! They were really good! We had alot of fun with Zack and can't wait to see him again!

We had so much fun camping for 5 days at Navajo Lake! Our good friends, The Sandberg's joined us too and we have some fun memories with them. We camped right by the water, which was good since the boys were fishing, swimming and just cooling off in the water most of the trip! One of the days, all of us went to the Mammoth Caves on Cedar Mountain. After all the years I have gone past the turn off on our way to the Warner Ranch, we have never stopped there! And now that we did, I can't believe it took this long for us to go! There are caves you can walk through (with flashlights!!). Some areas of the caves you actually have to crawl!! The boys had so much fun in the caves and want to go back soon! We had such a fun time at Navajo and plan to go back, possibly this week!! We love to camp and like the time to hang out as a family without all the interruptions you get at home! However, we also realized that Tyler and Trevor might be little pyros!! haha Sorry Heather, had to say it since I have a pre-fire pic! haha Thanks for joining us Sandberg's!

The cliff jumps

We took the boat out yesterday and had a blast! Tyler brought his friend Zak and Ryan brought his friend Zane. Jacob said he and I were friends! Jeff was just the driver... We all had alot of fun!The boys tubed and we also anchored at the cliff jumps and the boys had fun jumping from the rocks. The water felt so good since it was 104 degrees outside!! Most everytime we stopped to change tube riders, the boys, and Jeff and I, jumped in to cool down!
