Cabin Trip!

We left for a little get away for a couple days up to the grandparents cabin in Soldier Creek. It was nice just to relax and have fun with family and friends. Sunday night we went up with Corinna and Jordan, Jana and Chris, and Nicole. We played "Rate the Mate" Lol my Aunt Lottie told us to take it up there and play it, its pretty much just like the Newlywed Game. Kyle and I didn't do too hot on some of the questions. I think since I was frustrated with both of us not being able to answer some of the questions my emotions were a little on edge. One question asked "If your spouse would be any type of cartoon character who would they be?" I like cats so I wrote down that I would be Cat woman, when Kyle said that he thought I would be Minnie Mouse that was the last straw for me... I don't know why I started crying but I did. The funny part was right after that Jordan wrote down that Corinna would be Minnie Mouse as well (she took it way better than I did, good for you Corinna)! The emotions were high in that game, but surprisingly I learned a lot of things that I didn't realize about Kyle and I. Monday Morning the rest of the family came: Dad, Mom, Michelle, and Bryce. The next couple days we played the Candy Bar Game (cabin tradition), played pool, went fishing (only caught seaweed), and just relaxed. It had been a while since we'd  taken a picture of Kyle, Nash, and I so we all went out and took some pictures (Thanks Jan Jan :) Everything was fun besides the fact that Nash wouldn't go to sleep and poor Kyle was up with him till about 2 am. The joys of parenthood! But overall it was a good trip. 

Splish Splash!

Nash has really liked the water lately! Now when he takes a bath he can't stop rolling around and putting his mouth in the water. It's funny but kind of scary because he swallows too much, he's just really hard to contain sometimes. This past week while Kyle was camping with the young men Nash and I went to Seven Peaks with Corinna, Jordan, Corinna's sister, brother-in-law, and their little daughter. It was fun and Nash loved being in the water. At first he was kind of lazy and didn't want to do anything but eventually he was kicking and throwing his arms in the water, he was ready to swim! I still haven't worked up enough courage to go on the orange and blue slide this summer but I've gone on all the other rides.

4th of July in LaPoint

It was definitely an eventful 4th of July weekend for the Wright family! On Saturday we went to a family reunion from the Walker's side of the family. It was down in Altamont (inbetween Roosevelt and Vernal) and they reserved a cabin with a big pond and a big area to play and have fun. We showed up late and I guess we missed out on a big water fight and the raffle drawings but we still had fun in the kayaks and hanging out with family. Everyone was trying to knock everybody off their kayaks (well mostly just Kyle ;) Also that day some of us went boating. Win got some good air while he was wakeboarding. It was Kyle's first time wakeboarding and he was a pro! He got up the first time and was going over the wakes and stayed on really good. It was my second attempt at wakeboarding (the first time I tried was probably five years ago and I barely got up). Surprisingly I got up real easy this time and stayed on for a while.
Sunday we went on a tour of all the dams around that area. It was awesome! Because of all the flooding and all the water in the mountains the lakes, rivers, and dams were raging full. You could just feel the power and force standing next to the water fall, it was definitely a cool experience. We got to Lapoint after seeing the first dam. Of course we had our usual games of Rook, and I must say I'm getting a lot better at it.
On the 4th of July we went to the LaPoint parade. It's definitely the smallest parade I've ever been to but they throw out tons of candy! I swear I had more candy in my bag then at Halloween. Afterwards they had a raffle giveway and a little program, we put in some raffle tickets for the quilt but didn't get it. The most eventful part of the day was lighting off fireworks. Kyle and I bought a couple fireworks that go in the air and a bunch of little ones. The craziest part happened when one of the big fireworks tipped over as it was going off! Kyle, Win, and Will took off in all different directions (I've never seen people move so fast). Nash and I were in the Rhino and got front row seats to all the craziness. The fireworks were blowing up everywhere, then one shot underneath Grandpa Walker's chair and everyone scattered except him. The firework blew up under his chair and he had the most shocked face, it was hilarious! Everybody couldn't stop laughing. Needless to say it was an eventful 4th of July.
