Peaches

Yesterday, I spent the day with my mom and Brooke canning peaches.

 I love canning with my sisters and my mom. I love getting to talk and having our little system of getting it done. We've been canning since we were little so we know how to get into the canning groove :) I'm sad Annie and Chelsie couldn't be there too.

Canning makes me excited that fall is almost here, but it also means that winter is close... which I'm not so excited about.

Lake Powell

In August it was, once again, the annual Merrell Lake Powell trip. It was fun, relaxing, wonderful, delicious, you name it.

This year Trent and Erin and their kids were able to come with us which was SO fun. I have missed them and it was nice to get to catch up with them.

Here are a lot of pictures!

Can you tell why it's my favorite place in the world?

There was a huge rainstorm while we were there and a flash flood came ripping through right next to our house boat. I have never seen that happen. Pretty cool!

Smores. Yum!

Trent, Erin and Ben- On our way to a hike in West Canyon

West Canyon- We went through a slot canyon where we were pretty much walking/wading in cold water the whole time. At the end we were up to our necks in it (so cold!) and we could climb through the canyon with feet on both sides of the canyon walls. Very fun.

 Love him!
