Fun at Bear Lake

Holy cow what a week!  Things were filled to the brim with tests, assignments, vacations and camping.  First let me say that another semester is behind us, congratulations to everyone that did a summer semester, there's another one behind you bringing graaduation all that more closer.  For a celebration oiur little family joined the rest of my family up at Bear Lake for the annual camping trip.  The weather was a might bit coller than we expected so the nights were drawn out with cold kids that had rolled out of their sleeping bags and blankets.  We may need to find other ways to keep us warm at night since both nights we ended up with a child in our mummy bags.  It was fun none the less, thanks to all the family that joined us up there, here's looking forward to another fun trip.  Outside of that, here's but one picture to show the fun, Grandpa and my wife entertaining Sam, spoiled kid.  Since the rest of the pictures are on the actual camera card, that's all you'll see until next time.  Until then, enjoy yourselves!

How I Spent My Summer Vacation...

Holy cow, what a summer! As my reader is very well aware, I've been schooling hard this summer with the two semesters, one that goes over the course of the entire summer, the other that puts everything condensed in 7 weeks, and with a full time schedule that become quickly whelming. I wasn't quite overwhelmed, but I certainly wasn't underwhelmed. No, I was at the right level of whelmation. If you don't like the word, then please send me a comment on the word I should use, or send me a dictionary. But since this is my blog, I'll make up and use any word I like, thank you. That said, this summer has consisted of homework, classes and readings. But in good news, that's a great deal taken care of for the degree, plus on weeks that I really busted my butt, our family got to go camping or do other fun activities. That said, the family got to go swimming on a few Saturdays, go on a camping trip to Bryce Canyon (for free, thank you stimulus package), Farmington Canyon (horrific experience, but we learned a lot) and do other fun things here and there. Now the end other semester is nigh and our family will be taking on more adventure out! One week away from school is my break, then the following week it's back to the books. Oh well, I'll make the most from it while I can. Should be fun and nice not having to worry about classes and homework for one straight week. Enjoy your final weeks of summer!
