The Palisades, Utah

 This year we met up with our friends - the Geddes- at Palisades State Park.  It was a new adventure for all of us and we'd do it again in a second.  We had a blast (other than Alex's near drowning incident)! It was so much fun to spend time in an environment like this getting to spend quality time and making memories.

Here are the kids outside of our little cabin.  they were a great retreat - without any whistles and bells.  Bunk beds that squeaked, a bathroom with shower, fridge and microwave.  All of the cooking had to be done outside campfire style - but it was nice to have the microwave to warm things up!
 Alex, Max and Marley looking for little fish in the weeds.
 Luke giving everyone a fishing lesson.  We bought a pole and license - and the kids LOVED it!  They all caught fish during the vacation.  We fished most mornings and most evenings - the kids couldn't get enough! When we got home, we bought another pole, tackle box and are ready to go out again!
 Almost everyday was spent out on the lake.  The kids swam, played lake wiffle ball, peddled around on the paddle boat, tried to catch minnows and had a great time.
  Anna and I caught up with everything that has been going on in our lives, with our kids and husbands.  She is such a great pal!
 Alex really enjoyed Luke's boys...as you can see.
 One of the mornings Luke and Brett got up early and went golfing -They have a course right next to our cabin, and then took the kiddos on a ride on the cart down to the restaurant for lunch.
 Our last morning, with the sun peaking over the cabin.  I can't wait to do this again!
