Example

Right now my girls are sitting at the kitchen table writing in their journal. It was something I thought to have them do this morning. Even though they started off complaining, they are into it now, and I probably couldn't stop them if I wanted to! So I figured I should follow their example and spill some of my life onto a page. Summer is finally here. We are at last above freezing. This year was cold for a long time. Anyway, the girls and I kicked off our summer by going to LaVerkin. We went last year too, and I think it's going to be a tradition that we keep doing. We spent 2 nights with my mom and 2 with my sister. It was a blast. There were soft ball games to watch, slip and slides to play on, treats, and tons of fun with cousins. We even had some impromptu baseball with some giant marshmallows. The kids thought that was great fun. One of my favorite parts was when my sis-in-law sat on a whole package of grahm crackers. It was hilarious to see her face when she felt and heard the crunch and realized what she had done. We both had a hardy laugh. When the temperature hit over 100 I seriously questioned my own sanity for wanting to visit and I had to question the sanity of those who choose to live there!! I did a lot of thinking about the early pioneers to that area, and wondered just what they thought when they arrived. It must have been a daily struggle to ever have enough water in the summer. So here are some pics, and maybe (If I can figure out how) a video.

Sounds like you guys had a great time in LaVerkin! I wish we could have been there too. I love how you put your pictures in a slideshow format-impressive, Megan!

Your post makes me miss La Verkin so much! We have only made it once a year for the past 2 years. Hope we live much closer some day! Sounds like a great trip :)
