Brianhead 4th of July Camping

Dan and I camped on our lot in Steam Engine area of Brianhead, Utah. 

We rode the 4 wheelers and checked out a spring and stream. 

We drove down to Parowan to get gas on Friday night and they were having 4th of July Festivities:

 a concert in the park and Food trucks. 

A beautiful sunset from our lot. 

We rode bikes around the Navajo Lake and then had a picnic. 

We checked out the view of Cedar Breaks. 

 We also checked out the view from Brianhead peak. 

 Dan, Dawson and Jade rode a trail down from Brianhead to our lot.

 It was a little harder than they had planned on...muddy, steep, and long. 

We also hiked along the Mammoth Spring river. 

The alternator went out on our truck on the way home on Sunday morning. We were able to get parts delivered and Dan was able to replace the alternator and get us back on the road. We made it home in time for a quick 10 minute shower and get ready for Primary.

Nik and Nef Wedding Reception in Payson Canyon

Cute cousins! 

Brandy rode up with Nik and Nef on the way back from their honeymoon. 

Then we took her home late Saturday night after the reception. 

Dan and I got up there at about 4:00 pm so I helped set up the tables and centerrpieces. We also picked up the beautiful flowers with Nefi's mom and helped place them. 

It was pretty warm and I didn't eat or drink anything and I actually got heat stroke. I was faint and sick to my stomach. It was pretty crazy. Never had that before. 

Diana gave me a bottled water and saved me. 

It was great to be with the Troyer and Wride families. We drove up Saturday morning and Dan did two post office boxes. We left after the reception and we got home at about 1:00 am. 

Rosenbruch Museum

We took the kids to a wildlife museum since it was so hot outside. They loved the binoculars and climbing around in the kids room.

Pine Valley

We had a delicious Sunday dutch oven dinner in Pine Valley. We also went on a walk to the reservoir. The kids also enjoyed the s'mores!

Zion

We ate lunch at Oscar's and then played in the river. We had a fun water fight with our buckets. The kids loved it. It was a beautiful day!
