Hiking the Y

 One of my goals this Utah trip was to hike the Y. I haven't done it in years. My cousins daughter Kayla and her boyfriend Jeff both wanted to do it as well so it was nice to have someone to go with us. Kai starting up the the trail.
 I kept telling Kai beforehand it was going to be hard and steep but that she had to walk up it all by herself. She did awesome. We took a lot of breaks but she did it!
 Of course Jeff and Kayla helped her along the way!
So tired she just had to lay down and take a rest! 
We finally made it to the top. Just in time for the sunset!

This valley truly is amazing!
I loved sharing this experience with my favorite Squirt!


Love her so much!
Cute little munchkin feet!
Checking out the southern view with Kayla!


She loved hanging out with these two!



Going down was definitely easier and faster!

Jeff taking it all in!

Such a fun night. I love Utah and all it's natural beauty! Every time we have seen the Y on the mountain since then Kai has always mentioned hiking up to it! I think it might become a summer tradition for us!

Friend Fun

  We had fun hanging out with friends while in Utah! We went to the Draper days celebrations with Grandma and Grandpa Theler and Sadie and Cory and kids.First we checked out all the indian stuff they had. 
 Then we got some yummy food including cotton candy, which McKean was not a fan of! 
 We just hung out, listened to the music and enjoyed the amazing Utah summer weather!

 Then it was time for some light up toy fun with Isaak!



Friends for life!
 Kai thought stuffing it down her pants was a good place to store it!


 The gang hanging out!
 We went to have indoor place with a bunch of my high school friends. Emma and McKean jump in the pit. Max takes a turn on the big trapeze swing!
 There goes Kean Kean!

 The trampolines were a big hit!
 There goes Kai!

 I think she will be a natural rock climber!

 Kean gets stuck in foam pit!

 Kai got to a diabetes camp called Diabetesclubhouse. It was 2 days 9-4 and she loved it. It was a nice break for me as well to have two days of not having to worry about her blood sugars!! 
 Showing off all the stuff she made at camp!
 Sadie and Cory came up to swim! 
 Kean my cuddle bug!
 Cory as usual was taking care of the kids while Sadie and I talked!! 

 Cole teasing Kai!

 Kean is pretty obsessed with my camera and taking photos. Here a few he took while sitting on my lap!

 Pretty good for a one year old!
 
 All smiles after swimming! 

 Teana and baby Lydia were in town for a few days. So fun to see them 
McKean, Isaak, Chloe, Kai and Baby Lydia!
 We had a bonfire one night up the canyon with the Greens and  Tricia Brown. I miss those mountains so much! The little kid chairs were the hit of the night!


 It was a little chilly! 
 Cory taking care of the kiddos again. 

 We love our friends and our so glad we keep in touch and still get together when we are in town!
