Aspen Grove 2017

We had a GREAT time at Aspen Grove this year. It was a little sad being there without either set of parents--the last two times we've gone we had so many immediate family members around and this year we only had Austin and Cole. We definitely felt it in that we didn't have as many people to easily pass Lucy off to for a long time while we went to do things. I'd wanted to sign up to play racquetball or doubles tennis with Tommy or something--but yeah, that did not happen. We basically had to switch off doing anything fun. But otherwise, it was great. The boys were super happy and we really loved getting to see all the cousins and extended family. It felt so different to not see Grandpa Myres there, but I know he was happy we all were getting together still. As usual, I have a ton of pictures, but not enough of me with other adults--mostly of our kids being cute. I tried really hard to get some pictures with me in them, but oh well. This is what I got.

Grandma Myres was a celebrity to Dane this year. Every time he saw her he ran over to talk to her. He wanted to sit by her in the cafeteria every time as well. It was so cute. I have about ten pics of him with her--but I didn't get any of me with Grandma! Sorry, Grandma--next time!

Dane was glad to be there, I swear.

Dane loved Trompers this year. This is them on a "bug hunt" looking for bugs.

Such a cutie taking a nap. Tommy or I spent like 3 hours each afternoon in the cabin letting our little two take a nap.

Trompers! 

Good thing the Myres had two kids our kids' ages. They were their little buddies this week.

A Mommy date to get ice cream one afternoon before he went swimming.

Graham, you are the CUTEST THING IN THE WORLD.

I think this was the first time I did the pottery and made something that wasn't a total mess! Yay!

So fun to have Sarah and Alec at AG this year. And to see them with cute little Max. 

Love these two.

It was all fun and games until Graham started puking for a day. Poor guy.

LaDawn came up to see us for an afternoon.

The Myres team won the volleyball, finally!! Even without Dallin, Bethany, and my dad!

Cute little Trompers doing their final show. They sang "The Ants Go Marching."

Grandma and Cosmo dancing.

After we packed up and left AG, we went to hike to the Lower Falls with the boys.

One of Dane's goals was to hike a mountain this year. It was one that he came up with himself. He wanted Tommy to carry him when we were a little ways up, but we talked to him and reminded him that this was one of his own goals that he wanted to work on himself. He bucked up and did it all the way there and back. We were proud of him.
