Death of the Waterslide

On July 18 we took off for another adventure and family vacation to Wyoming and Utah. We started off in the afternoon and ran into some friends on the freeway on the way. We tried our best to get in front of them but traffic was kind of crazy, with much determination we were able to follow and eventually pass them, but due to a much needed bathroom break they were able to win us in the end.
Anyway we spent a few days in Lyman, Wyoming and took our slide to enjoy with the fam. We didn't know that it would be its last . The poor slide met its end. I guess that is what happens when you have two 200+ pound boys playing on it. Needless to say the hole that was produced was pretty darn big and we are not sure if it is repairable or not. Justin's brother is hopeful.

The boys loved jumping on their trampoline. They spent most of their time on it. The water in Wyoming was really cold so the slide didn't really appeal to them. They spent most of their time on the trampoline.






Behind Justin's brothers house is a stream. Everyone took advantage of it and took a little ride down the stream. Tyler tried it once and was done and Mackay had to warm up to the idea but eventually went down and then we couldn't get him away from it. It was a lot of fun.





After church on Sunday we decided to take a drive to the high Uinta's. While we were there we even saw a moose, but the picture we got was pretty far away. It was really beautiful up there. We took a little hike and enjoyed the cool air, but we didn't enjoy the mosquitoes very much -- they were huge!




We thank Justin's brother's family for the great time that we had up there!!!

When we came up behind you I joked that maybe it was you guys! It made that part of the drive a little more interesting!
Sorry about the slide. I bet you boys are sad.
