FLAMING GORGE

With Aunt Groupon (Aunt Marcelle), we scored a trip to Vernal, UT to go rafting. It was so much fun to drive through Provo Canyon, past the Pinnacles where we had a reunion, past red rocks and into the Flaming Gorge.

 See the carvings in the dark part of the rock?  COOL! 

 There are dinosaur fossils in all these rocks!

On our drive back, Meg and I decided to stop wherever we wanted and just take our time getting home.  We saw a store on the side of the road in Ft. Duchesne called Gypsy Mama.  You better believe I pulled over!

 If my mom had a store it would be just like this.  Eclectic, colorful, cool, and full of funky junk. 

Anyone who knows my delightful mother knows this tumbleweed "chandelier" would fit right in with her style and interior design.  I love her so much, I used to laugh at her but now I see myself turning right into her :) 

Creamery & Galland's Pool

With the Carters here we HAD to go to the Creamery on 9th.  Kacy was working (not a coincidence) and we went to get ice cream!

 I had to keep Millie entertained in line..

 Strawberry Cheesecake Crumble (?) It's SO GOOD.

 kids + ice cream = summer classic

 I just think he's the cutest.

Then we went to the Galland's pool for an evening swim.  It was a relief for all but Kelsey and I that it was after 7pm, so they didn't need sunscreen!

We took some shots in the gorgeous garden area next to the pool

Swimming at the Coleman's

It's Sum Sum Summer and with the Carters here from Texas, it was so fun we had to make the party bigger.  We convinced a few of the Gallands and Underwoods to make the drive up from SoCal for a long weekend.  The first day they were there we went swimming at Bu's neighbor's house, the Colemans (more on them later!).  

 Tante Lorie is ready for poolside

 Just behind the pool we have the tennis court

 Sophia, Susanna, Sibley, Izzy, Cami, and Ollie

 How cute is this?  Their patio table, so presh.

The Colemans have the cutest poolhouse!  I feel like I'm in a beach house in Maine.  Adorbs.
