Family Garden, Game and Festival

So many things have happened in the last few weeks. Our garden has bloomed. We actually have live pumpkins!

Kody had his first freshmen home game against Adams High School. They won 49-6! GO PENN!

The big that has happened it that today we went to the Blueberry Festival in Plymouth IN. It was a good thing that we went early because later on in the day it was PACKED! Kasey, Cindy and Kody got a wrist band that let them go on as many rides numerous times all day. They had a blast! Kasey even meet up with his friend Sam. What goof balls! I brought my friend Samantha. We saw so many booths that had B-E-A-UTIFULL crafts, paintings, wall hangings with great quotes on them. Samantha and I did find a great time out box. It reminded me of Shreks out house in the beginning of the first movie. It would be a great time out box. Anyone could be put in there and then it would be locked on the outside. The person would have some light coming through because of the moon shape cut out in the door. Kasey and Cindy fit in there no problem but Kody......when he would sit down the door wouldn't close. He had to sit diagonally in order for the door to shut.

The best part was when Samantha and I were getting ready to leave and we stopped and got a Deep Fried Candy Bar. I know some may think that it would not taste so good. Well all of you should try it before you make your opinion. You could choose from a Snicker, 3 Musketeer or a Milky Way to be deep fried. Samantha got a Snickers and I did originally asked for a Milky Way but then they decide that I should try a Snickers. It wasn't bad at all! I think that power sugar should not be put on top. Also if it just came out of the fryer.....the candy bar should be cooled down before one eats its.

Kasey's First Baseball Game 2009

Kasey did wonderful today! He has 3 RBI, 2 Strike Outs and 1 Run. He also scored a run. It was GREAT! They won their game 8 - 0. We all hope that the rest of his games are just like this one or better. GO TEAM!

Hike #03: Donut Falls

I convinced Chelsea that we needed a shorter and much easier hike after last weeks hike to Timpanogos Cave. We, actually I, chose to go to Donut Falls up Big Cottonwood Canyon.

The hike was short and easy! Just what I needed...

There were several families with young children, along with a couple of groups with young children. In fact, there were 2 large white vans with young kids and an orange bus with young kids in the parking lot.

Hike #02: Timpanogos Cave

This weeks hike was to Timpanogos Cave. We attempted to make an early start, but didn't quite get out as early as we wanted, but was still early enough to avoid the afternoon heat on the hike up. The temperature was to reach 95 degrees.

As we waited in line for tickets, the family ahead of us was told that they would have to wait an hour before they could start on the hike. Chelsea and I didn't want to have to wait that long, becuase the heat increasing by the minute. When we purchased our tickets at 11:20 we were told that we could get started immediately and were scheduled for the 12:50 cave tour.

We ended up getting to the cave 20 minutes early and were able to take the 12:40 tour. The tour group was small, so we were able to hear everything that the ranger said.

We both enjoyed the hike!

Hike #01: Twin Lakes Hike

Chelsea and I headed up to Brighton Ski Resort to take a short hike around Silver Lake. Chelsea decided that it would be better if we not only did that hike, but that we also hike to Twin Lakes. She convinced me that it was only 1 mile and it wouldn't take very long.
Well, an hour later and numerous stops on the way, we made it to the top.
