Youth Activities was cancelled one night because of rain, so we informally had them over for pizza and games. The next morning we took a few to the temple.

Dad, Braden, Jaycie and I went and stayed the Brigham City KOA.  It was a little disappointing because it indicated lots of hikes. No hikes. Braden and Jaycie went swimming. Dad and I went on a bike ride and we went to an all-you-can eat ice cream social. We discovered Farr Ice cream and we are never going back. :)

In the morning, we made breakfast and drove the fruitway and got lots of yummy fruit.

Summer!

4th of July: We went to Midway to a Art show that Isaac's dad and mom were displaying. We met Isaac and Mikaela, went to lunch in Heber and then drove to the Red Barn, but it was closed. Markansas came with us. We then drove to Payson Lakes and went and walked around the lake. Even though the fire got a lot of the canyon, the lake was fine. The grotto was closed however. Afterwards we came home and had a barbecue. 

Erickson camp: this year was at Pineview reservoir. Jaycie and I went up, Braden was at Cross country camp, and Marc joined us that night.

I created a new verse to the Hymn "Did you think to Pray"

When your joy is overflowing, Did you think to pray?

To bring to Him your grateful off'rings

For the wonder of His blessings

Each and every day. 

Oh how praying helps us daily!

Prayer helps lead and guide the way

So come, unto God's throne of Glory,

Humbly kneel and pray.
