Utah State Parks in One Year

So we decided that we are going to visit as many State Parks as we can in one year. We have purchased an annual pass and have begun are year long voyage with one of Utah's hidden boating treasures...
FIRST UTAH STATE PARK VISIT: YUBA LAKE
It took us about an hour to get to Yuba. Sydney enjoyed Elmo's world during the drive. We walked the shoreline and threw in rocks and did our best to keep Sydney from diving in head first...the girl loves water! After, we had a picnic dinner in the campground while the sun began to set. Then we took the scenic way home and watched the sunset behind us. It was a great family day!

Jeff: With the rolling sandy beaches and scenic dirt road trails, Yuba is the ideal August destination. We recommend the east side, also know as Painted Rock.
Sara: The lake was beautiful and we enjoyed being together as a family.
Sydney: When can I throw more rocks in the water?

Amazon with Pigtails

Sydney has an announcement to make...she went to her 18 month check up! She is growing up so quickly. She was 26 pounds and 4 ounces (75th percentile) and she is 35 inches long (over the 100th percentile...yea that's right...she is an amazon toddler with pigtails!) Some of her favorite activities include: feeding herself, dancing, pretending to jump, watching Elmo, and anything that involved water!
She is awesome and we love her!

Fun Summer Activites

A few weeks ago, we went to a local pioneer park managed by BYU, located in the park of few blocks from our home. It was really interestig to read about the families that lived in the homes and other buildings. It was our 24th of July Pioneer FHE! We had a great time!






Syd really loves to swim! Once she is in the water it takes quite a bit of effort to get her out. Luckily, we have a city splash pool within a block our house, so we try to go often. However, this day it was late and we didn't have enough time to make it to the splash pool, so we did some improvising of our own! She really enjoyed her mini pool!
