Ann & Mike

Ann & Mike are my Aunt & Uncle. They are heroes and inspiration. They have traveled everywhere and their latest trip was the ultimate adventure. They climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa. With, get this it's amazing, NO ALTITUDE TRAINING! They live at below sea level! AMAZING! But not surprising because they are that awesome.

Did I mention that Jake had decided to do this same climb for his 40th bday? Good thing he told me now so I can start training because it probably will take me 10 years to be ready to do this hike

We have Corn in our Bellies

We made a spur of the moment trip up to visit family and went to Cornbelly's Maze & Pumpkin Fest at Thanksgiving Point. It was SOOOOO much fun! It is especially for kids and Dax was in heaven.
There was so much to SEE & DO!

 There were pumpkins

 and slides

 cool lookin tire swings

 More Slides!

 Giant! Jumper.....Bubbles!

 

Our Cousin Pyper

 Climbing Nets

 We rode cows

 That were pulled by a nice guy with a tractor

 There were trains

EVEN More slides

 There was a fantasy playland where all the kids could wear dress ups. Dax tried to dance with all the girls

 Instead of a SANDbox, they had a CORNbox

 Giant Spider Web

 Time to take a rest

The Finale.......Corn Maze
We made the mistake of having a 2 year old decide which way to go and we ended up getting incredibly lost. But after Daddy took over we were out in no time. Total maze time-45 minutes

Lake Powell '10

Lake Powell was amazing this year! Lots of activeness and at the same time a lot of relaxation.
Our crew this year was a lot smaller compared to years previous but still was a blast.

We hiked up Hole in the Rock

Roger Dodger

We ate Cheetos with Gpa Roger

We set up an obstacle course while the houseboat was going. You would jump off the houseboat(with a life jacket) swim back to one of the boats, your last chance is the tube in the back. Then you use the ropes to come back to the houseboat. It is wicked hard.

We Wakeboarded, Swam, Kneeboarded, Tubed, and new this year Wake Skating

We made fire using a hand drill

and got blisters from making fire with a hand drill

We played with Uncle Rob

We drove the boat

Went to Dangling Rope and Fed the fishes ice cream and toes

We drove through a lightning thunder storm coming back from Dangling Rope which was pretty scary fun and saw some awesome waterfalls and rainbows

We hiked through some narrows at West Canyon and those pics are on gma Stacy's waterproof camera so those pics will go here.

Everybody took a night to make dinner and on our night we made kabobs. We had all the fixins set out raw and they all put their own together and then Jake cooked them up on the bbq!

Then on our last night we had a Pot Luck. Jake and I brought bisquits to be cooked on an open fire. They turned out awesome.

We also got to stay up and watch a meteor shower!

Beautiful!

Dax had a blast! Loved to be outside throwing dirt!

Can't wait for next year only 364 days away right?!?!
