4th of July Weekend
























































































































































So I Guess I don't get how to do this blogging stuff and I don't have enough patience. Most of the pictures are first and the story is down farther. Yes I know a few pictures are in there twice this blogging thing is stupid!!


The rest of the weekend was a pretty crazy one. Luke growing up and didn't enjoy fishing much. But since we have been married and you can't hunt all of the time he has taken up fishing. Greg and the rest of Luke's family is totally supportive of this decision. We had fishing marathon. When Luke told me we were going fishing the next day I assumed it would be for a few hours at the near by resivor but was I was surprised. We left at six that morning to travel on a very bumpy mountain road over to the Otter Creek. Just to realize that we had remebered everything except the fishing poles. Luckily, Luke called a few people and we were able to borrrow a few. We spent the rest of the morning on the boat trolling around for fish. I caught lots of green weeds while Luke and Greg each caugh a few. In the meantime Debbie took a little nap.


We weren't done there though. We headed up on to Monroe mountain to fish at the manning. Before that we were starving. Greg had packed us all a can of soup to cook over the fire. Luke caugh a huge fish at Manning that he was very proud of. We then decided to try out Barney Lake which I have decided is one of the most peaceful lakes and probably one of my favorites. With no luck there we headed off the mountain. To head right back up the beaver mtn. Where we meet Lane & Mel & Cally & Josh. We ate dinner (which was super good thanks to Cally, she redeemed herself of the horrible grilled cheese sandwiches) and floated around the lake on float tubes ( which was tons of fun)!!! And then headed home after dark. We had a pretty crazy fun day with Greg & Debbie even though we were dead dog tired when we got home.

























yeah that is Cholo swimming away


So we had a really long 4th of July weekend. We spent half of it with my family and half of it with Luke's family. We planned on hiking spooky and peakabob canyon but because of the rain the slot canyons had been flooded so we decided to hike calf creek. We didn't realize how long this hike was and didn't bring much water so we were very glad to finish the hike in the end. We resorted to dipping our shirts in the river. Then when we got there Tyler Monks & Brek were brave enough to swim out to the waterfall not once, but twice to get better pictures. We had fun but we were worried that mom wouldn't make it off but once Tyler ran back a Mt. Dew and a pain pill she was good to go. We had a ton of fun and pigged out when we got back to the truck. The rest of the weekend Luke & I spent with the Allen's.
