The boys weren't able to make it up from Utah this weekend and Syd had to work quite a bit, but the rest of us sure had a good time. Brandt has been itching all summer to go fishing, but between work and school he hasn't had many opportunities. So on Saturday we humored him and went to Trapper Creek (just past the Oakley Reservoir). He said he went fishing there as a kid and it was about a twenty minute drive from Bur-town. He lied. An hour later we reached our destination. But it was still a good time. We enjoyed being out in the sun, our picnic of Subway sandwiches and chips, and watching Kate fishing for her first time.
On our way back we stopped at a gas station in Oakley for some treats. I had the best strawberry shake I think I've ever had. Once we got home, we pulled out the inflatable raft and filled it with water for the kids to play in. Apparently Burley is plum sold-out of kiddie pools, but the raft served its purpose well. It was so funny watching Henry in the water; that kid has no fear. Several times he tripped and his face would go under the water, sometimes for a few seconds, but he never cried - he loved it. And Kate was pretty comical too, as usual. Those kids are so much fun.
On Sunday we had a BBQ with the Halfords and Olsons. Our house was packed, so it was a good time. Before we knew it, it was time to head back home. Time sure flies when you're having fun!

Dani, your itty bitty belly is so cute!
The mountains were fun...all except for the bees that kept chasing me! :)
