Our Annual Bear Lake Trip

Our Annual Bear Lake Trip was so much fun this year. We always have a good time and enjoy each others company. This year we rented a trampoline water launch pad. It was so fun, but I did end up breaking Bryans toe trying to get up onto it!! I totally slipped and fell on his head, knocked him off the ladder, but his toe decided to get caught in the ladder and break! I felt so bad! But boy was if fun watching my cousin Mike launch  the kids 30 ft into the air! Good laughs and Good times. I always enjoy spending time with my family and I think Bear Lake is one of my all time favorite trips, because we lay at the beach all day and do nothing else!! Well we did go to Pickelville play house to see Bandito!! The funniest show I have ever seen and the kids love it as well. What a fun trip we had this year! Until next year Bear Lake!

10 Year Anniversary trip to New York Part 1

On August 7th Bryan and I celebrated our 10 year Anniversary! It has been the best 10 years of my life spent with my very best friend in the world! We have had so many good times and some bad as well, but I am glad I got to spend all of those times with the Man I love!! Being the Best Husband he decided to take me on a little trip to New York. (Thanks to all who helped babysit my kids!) We left on  August 6th and our first Stop Was Buffalo New York to see the beautiful Niagara Falls!! We went straight from the airport to Niagara falls so don't mind how pretty we look!!

Oh my Heavens it was soooo pretty and I am so glad that I got to see this beautiful falls!! We went on the maid of the mist and it did not disappoint! It was so neat to go on a boat to the falls. You got wet, but it was so worth it! I loved it and recommend everyone going at least once!!

Our next stop was our very favorite part of the trip! We went to Palmyra to walk in the Sacred Grove and see Hill Cumorah and attend the Palmyra Temple! Oh my all of this was such a spiritual experience for us. We woke up bright and early so we could go to the Sacred Grove before we went to a session in the Temple. It was one of the most spiritual and beautiful places I have ever been. It was so neat to know that God the Father and Jesus Christ appeared to Joseph Smith in that very Grove. The moment I walked into the Grove I felt the spirit so strongly that I started to cry. It was a neat neat experience!! My husband being the romantic he is  showed me a video of Parker telling me how much he loves me and then gave me the first part of my 10 year anniversary mothers ring! It was so neat and I love him so much.!!

We then headed to the Palmyra Temple! It was such a pretty temple and neat experience for us.

After we attended the Temple we went back to the Sacred Grove for a tour and that was really neat and our Missionary Guide was such a great guy and had such a sweet Testimony

We then headed over to the Hill Cumorah. This was also really neat. We first stopped into the visitor center and looked around there for a bit and the we drove up to the top of the Hill!! Such a pretty place and view!

After Hill Cumorah we headed to where the Book of Mormon was printed and took a tour there too. That was really intereseting and it is amazing what took to print a book back then!!  

Bryan and I didn't realize that there was also a PGA tour golf Tournament  in the town next to Palmyra and many people from our hotel had gone. If we would have known we would have stayed another day and attended that as well. We decided since we were so close we would go drive by the course. That was a mistake!! It was so busy, rainy and you couldn't see the course from the road, but we did see these signs. And it did feel cool to be that close to one!!

That is Part 1 of our trip.Part 2 is coming next! We are headed to New York City!
