Running in Circles

We decided to go camping this weekend to have some family time and celebrate the Fourth of July! 

After driving the two hours to the state park it just started raining so hard and so much. Eventually it started to sprinkle so Brice went to check out our actual campsite- puddles and mud everywhere! Now, I'll admit I am sorta a wimp but I told Brice since it was one night we could totally just get dirty and deal with it but we just weren't prepared for the mud and water. We decided to turn back around and camp indoors! 

We set up the tent, made walking tacos and s'mores, read stories and slept in the tent! Brice was sure to use pocket knives for all the chopping and still use his camping stove. I was sure to keep the air conditioning on and was grateful for the CLEANEST campsite bathrooms ever! 

Hazel loved it all! Camping Dinner! Camping toys! Camping dessert! I woke up feeling like I had camped- it was a rough sleeping night for everyone actually ;)

Next time hopefully we can be outdoors, but it was a good Friday night if I say so myself. Have a wonder holiday weekend and i might be a little excited to do some "hiking" at the mall instead of outdoors. 

We spent our Fourth of July weekend visiting friends in Houston, Texas. 

We were so happy to visit with Weston & Kelsi Kunz and meet their sweet baby Ellie AND visit with Chris, Rosanne, Ariana, and McKenna Bick! It felt like a mini Provo reunion and just what i needed!

 We spent the weekend swimming, BBQ-ing, celebrating Chris' Birthday, more swimming at night, a ward breakfast (which included potato sack races and hot potato), neighborhood walks, a game night, Cafe Rio pork salads, and too many cookies! The drive to and from went smoothly and we really loved seeing friends. 

Thanks so much to the Kunz's and Bicks for hosting us- you're welcome in Dallas anytime :)
