Summer vacation in Oakley

Over the 4th of July week, we spent time with my family in Oakley, Utah (near Park City). My dad built a cabin there and it was great to get together with our entire family minus Joe (in Iraq) and Stephen. Our activities included swimming at the Kamas rec. center, playing baseball in the field, playing a billion games, playing house of fire with prizes, driving the ATVs, doing yard work (the boys got up almost every morning and did a yard work project with dad), going swimming at the Wheelwrights cabin, going to the 4th of July Oakley Rodeo, eating a ton of food, seeing fireworks, playing games with the kids, blowing 10 bottles worth of bubbles, drawing and coloring, puzzles and having a blast. I have to give a shout out to Ann-Marie who was somehow put in charge of coordinating the kids activities. She did an awesome job. She brought little craft activities and the kids had puzzles, coloring, bubbles etc. to keep them occupied. The cabin also had a playroom fully stashed with toys (most of them when we were younger) and a little kitchen. It was so neat. We hardly saw Kaylin this entire trip! She loved seeing the cousins and having activities to do all day. Here are some highlights (unfortunately I didn't take too many pictures because my wonderful brother is going to put together a CD/DVD of all the pictures and video that we took up there. I usually let other people take the pictures, so here's what I have):

Glad that you had a good trip, but I know where your mind was while the boys were doing yard work! I feel bad that we didn't get to see you before we left Reno, thanks for being such a great friend! Noel misses Kaylin already.
