Jordanelle Then & Now

When I mentioned that my family likes to camp at Jordanelle in the fall, I wasn't kidding!  I found some pictures of Tashena from September of 2009 in many of the same poses as Sean from our most recent trip!

I sure have had a lot of fun with these kiddos over the years (even if one of them did lose a shoe in the mud).

Jordanelle Camping Trip

Last weekend my family went camping at Jordanelle State Park.  It is one of our favorite places to camp, especially in the fall.

Sean and I went down to the water and ended up getting really dirty!  It was a lot of fun, though.  Sometimes the best adventures are messy!

Saturday night we made dinner in the Dutch oven and sat around the fire.  It was absolutely wonderful!

 Of course we made s'mores!

Sunday morning Marilyn made breakfast in the Dutch oven and then we started packing up to come home.

By the time I got home I was tired, sore, dirty, sunburned, and everything I owned smelled like smoke!  In other words, it was a great trip!

Are You Ready for Some Football?

I sure am!  Fall means the return of college football and I always love going to Rice-Eccles Stadium to cheer on the Utah Utes!  Last night my friend Chelsea and I went to the season opener against the Idaho State Bengals and it was a lot of fun!  The Utes basically had their way with the Bengals, eventually beating them 56-14.  There were some really exciting plays, including a dramatic punt return for a touchdown at the end of the first half, but Idaho State isn't a very good team and I see lots of room for improvement for the Utes.  The rest of the season will certainly be a bit more challenging but it was great to see the home team win so decisively and it was fun watching the game with Chelsea!  We are planning to go to a few more games.  Go Utes!
