Everyone's Invited!

Yes, I am throwing my own party! And why not? I just wanted to have a fun day with the people I love. So come on over whenever you can and have some fun compliments of ME!

The annual Lewis Family Reunion was held at Snowbird this year. We had a blast because "There's so much to do and see at the Bird!" We opted for the all-day pass since there was so much to do. The pass included: Aerial Tram, Peruvian chairlift and tunnel, Alpine Slides, Ziprider, Bungy Trampoline, Bounce house and slide. To get out of the heat we took the Tram to the top of Snowbird. We saw majestic views of the Heber and Salt Lake Valleys. Next we rode the Alpine slides until Ryan had enough. Unfortunately we didn't get any pictures to prove the fun we had... Everyone enjoyed the chairlift to the top to see Snowbirds tunnel. We walked through the tunnel to Mineral Basin. The kids enjoyed playing in the snow and throwing snowballs at Mandi.
Stockton's hands got cold and he learned that sticking them in his armpits helps warm them up. The kids favorite was the Bounce house and slide. Mandi loved the ziprider and wanted Ryan to experience it too but when they had to close it due to lightning. Snowbird was an awesome place to spend a summer Saturday. I think we will come back!! - Next time we plan to mountain bike.

Ethan Catches Fish!

Tony Grove

More Fun Pictures of our day at Tony Grove.

Pioneer Day Outing - Tony Grove Lake

Ryan has been wanting to take the family to Tony Grove since the snow melted. He finally got the chance!! We hiked around the lake and found a nice flat shady spot. Ryan got the fishing poles ready. The boys found the wildflowers and kept picking them for Mom. Ryan wanted to be "cute" too!

Green-Martin-Smith Family

This is the entire family! With 10 siblings it is quite a group and a rarity when we are all together at once. Ryan, Travis, and Kelly make up the Green's; Colby is the only Martin; Shawna, Brandon, Kayleen, Jesse, Tonya and Lacy are the Smiths. And together with spouses and 13 grandkids we make up the herd called the Green-Martin-Smith Family!

Kisses for Taylor

Stockton was excited to hold his new cousin - Taylor Eddington.

Riding with Grandpa.

No one wanted to be left out so all the kids jumped on the 4 wheeler for a ride around the yard with Grandpa.

4th of July Fun!

I think a slip n slide should be a new part of our 4th of July traditions. What a fun way to end the holiday. I don't think the adults had any intentions of getting wet and joining the kids in the fun. But by the end of the day everyone (except Dad, Thayne and Nick) went home soaked! Uncle Randy had the best form but Mom and Grandma were built for the slip n slide. I don't know if it was the roundness of their behinds but they sure cruised and went faster and farther than the rest of us!

Stalagtites and Stalagmites... oh my!

To beat the heat we toured the 40^ Minnetonka Cave near Bear Lake. At the end of the tour they turned off all the lights and we got the choice of hiking out to a certain point in complete darkness. Being adventurous we chose the dark. What an interesting experience! Now we all know what it feels like to be blind. We also had to hold tightly to the (freezing cold) "iron rod" to find out way out. I held on so tight my hand took a while to de-thaw once we were in 90 + degrees.

Colby the mighty bare-handed fisherman!

Everyone on the beach was amazed by Colby's killer skills.

Weekend at Bear Lake

The kids enjoyed playing in the cool water. It was a nice break from the summer heat.
