Yea, I know, it's kid of pathetic I've never been there. I'm so glad we had a church ward party there so I could enjoy this fun spot. It's a pond a family has right by their house that they let people come and have fun. It's no little pond either, it's quite big and a lot of fun. I had a blast. I don't have many pictures because I was busy playing in the water! But I do have videos of us jumping off the swings into the water. They have a slide, swing, zip-line, canoes, and a swing you hang on to and drop into the water. Everything was super fun.
Destination 4: City of Rocks
Okay, so this is a place I have been to a few times. I remember going with my family, but that was a long time ago. I also went with the single's ward nine years ago. It was the week before Ty and I got engaged, so we were looking at each other more than the awesome landscape. ; ) Anyway, it was nice to go back remember what an amazing place it is. Ty's sister was visiting from Arizona, so there were a bunch of us there to play. Before I even got to the base of bath tub rock, most of my kids were half way up the rock! My kids are not big, but it doesn't slow them down. I'm glad there were big people there to help them. It's scary for me in parts, let alone having my small children climb! But it's an awesome view at the top and was a lot of fun.

So our summer was fun-filled with lots of new adventures. We also hiked to the D. Now this really is pathetic that this was my first time. I've lived here long enough to hike the D, I mean really?! There is a reason though. The D is where all the cowboys went on the weekends to drink, so I naturally avoided the place. But we hiked it this summer with all my kids. It's not an easy hike, I'll tell you what!! I didn't know if I was going to make it let along all my little kiddos. But we kept enduring and were happy that we accomplished such a hard task.
I'm so glad we had such a good summer and look back at it being busy and fun with Family adventures! We also enjoyed the normal fun summer things like swimming and a day at Steadman's waterslide, which is always a fun time. I'm so glad we took full advantage of summer and enjoyed all these awesome places we have so close to our house.
