So, we have had a wonderful summer. Swimming every day, swim lessons in June, and going to Eager 3 times! Whew...lots of crazy drives in the car! I think I was insane half of the time!
We drove in our ranger 10 miles one day to Black River, where we had fun playing in the water. Unfortunately, Livi fell asleep and missed the whole thing! (He nose was covered with dirt!)
The Eager parade!.....it's a dewsy!
The cousins that came up....
And Jack found his little "meadow" that he would escape to where the weeds were as tall as him...but he loved it! And he loved taking horse rides each day. I think he's going to be just like Livi with the horses.
We 1st went up to Big Lake in June, just for a day of camping with our friends Connie & Aaron Allen. It was so much fun! We even set the tent up - just for a few hours- and then decided that we weren't even going to spend the night! ....at least the kids had fun putting it up! 
But we really did have a fun day. Oakley had a little fishing time that he was hoping for (we don't do much in our family!) And we had a fun night around the fire telling scary stories (again....that was on Oakley's to-do list!)

And then there was our traditional 4th of July in Eager! We actually went up to Eager on the 3rd, basically as Livi's birthday present since she loves it so much! Seriously...there is no where else she'd rather be....up there riding the horses all day!
The trailer in the back ground was my home for 9 days of July! (Thanks to Aunt Kathy!)
The Eager parade!.....it's a dewsy!I couldn't find Jackson one day....and then this is where I found him!
I hope we don't have a NASCAR fan in the making!?
The cousins that came up....Carter, Oakley, Hannah, Luke, Livi, Daisy, Jennie & Jack
And then our 3rd adventure up there was July 16th-20th for a fun Allen Family Reunion (Debbie & her three sisters). I went up with Callie & the kids while Brent was at Geronimo for a whole week as Scoutmaster. That drive up was apsolutely insane! But then Brent came to Eager for the last 2 days...yea! Man....I really missed him after a whole week of being gone. Absence makes the heart grow fonder!
So we went camping with the whole Allen crew up Water Canyon in Eager. It was BEAUTIFUL! But the 3rd & 4th day it rained....still beautiful, but it got awfully chilly!
Saturday was a game day....Mom, you would have been in heaven!
The kids played this donut game & a water bucket game and the adults played badmitton & horseshoes. And I am so pround of myself! I made it to the semi-finals- the only female! But unfortunately it was against Brent so he kicked my trash! 
And Jack found his little "meadow" that he would escape to where the weeds were as tall as him...but he loved it! And he loved taking horse rides each day. I think he's going to be just like Livi with the horses.Anyway....we love Eager! It's the best!

It's me, Stacy Hambrick...do you remember me? We lived in Queen Creek and went to the same ward etc. I found your blog while trying to find Aimee. Check out our blog @ wwwittakesavillage.blogspot.com
That looks like so much fun! Seriously jealous of your escape from this weather! But I am glad you are back!
What fun! The only time I have 'been' to Eager was passing through on the way home from Alpine. It looks like you all had a BLAST!! :)
Wow...What a summer! Looks like you had a lot of fun! I love Eager, but I must say, Snowflake is better (that's where I'm from) :)
Emily we miss you guys! Looks like you have been gone as much as us this summer. I can't believe how much Jackson has changed! He is such a big boy! Call me soon so we can get together! Seriously, it's been too long!
Those pictures of Jack are darling! That is so fun that your kids get to have so many memories their w/ their cousins. Now the Packards just need a cabin!! You better still be coming because I have been so excited since I found out!
I've done the Eager drive alone....I hear ya-- no fun! But the rest of the time sounds awesome. I'm so jealous, we were only able to go up a couple times this summer. One of these summers, I am just going to stay and not come back. ;) Cute pic of Jack and his meadow.
Just what a summer should be...friends, family, corn on the cob, fireworks, dirt and fishing. What fun times.
See you in the Franklin drop-off and pick-up line!
