THE FAMILY. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck

Utah Summer 2012

July was a really fun month.  We spent the 4th of July at Lake Mead with some wonderful friends.  I didn't dare take my camera out of the ziplock bag that held it, because the wind was blowing sand all over the place.  I'm hoping my friend can get me a few photos of that fun day, which ended up turning scary with the weather.

At the end of July we went up to Utah for our annual trip to visit family.  We had so much fun visiting my sister Jill.  We were even able to go to Lagoon twice!

Here are a few photos of our 24th of July party.







Our first day at Lagoon was with Jill and her kids.  We had so much fun.  My kids look forward to it every year, like it's Christmas.




I just loved this photo of Whitney.  Check out the look on her face!!!

And of course we had to get ice cream in pioneer village.  I can see Jill's reflection in the window!


Then Jill and I decided to get a little crazy and do the Sky Coaster.  I was smiling, but really freaking out inside.  



It kind of scared me to death.  But I'm glad we did it.


The second day at Lagoon we spent the first half at Lagoona Beach.  I hadn't been there in years and it was a fun change.


Then we rode rides in the afternoon and ran into our friends the Aikeles.  It was great to ride a few rides with them.

We love the Petersons!
