What's On Our Happy List?

 Scofield!
We had a quick get away to Scofield last weekend. Kyleigh had already made plans...{a date} so she wasn't able to come with us. {Boo}. Wasn't the same without her, but we still had a ton of fun. ATV'ing to Fish Creek is my favorite ride.

 We ATV'd up one mountain and had an awesome view...

 Our second ATV trip the next day...quite memorable. I about tipped {or felt like I was going to} in a little rut in the road me and Brie got stuck in. I'm telling you right now.. I have issues with feeling like I'm tipping. {Isn't that so strange?} Yah know that Wild Mouse ride at Lagoon and Goofy's Flight School at California Adventure? Can't go on those. I've been on them to know. {They freeeaakk me out!} I can't even go on the ferris wheel because it can rock and tip backwards!!! I'm serious!

I almost lost my iPhone too. Flew right out of my pocket, unbeknownst to me, or Brie riding right behind me. Luckily Emma was riding close enough to me at that particular time {she wasn't always} to see it fly out. There wasn't a scratch on it. Tender Mercy I say. I would have been crushed to lose the pictures on my phone.

Some time at the lake...

Kate's induction to the polar bear club.

 I'm telling you....that. lake. has. cold. water. And it's mossy...ewe...Emma's face tells it all.

We tied ropes to Brie's and Hannah's life jackets and me and Em's had races pulling them in...

 I got brave and got in the lake the next day. Oh my! What a scene I caused. I was half laughing, half crying...no kidding.  Pretty darn entertaining for the family. It's all on tape too, thanks to dad, but you aren't gonna see it. {That one is going in the archives.}

A little fun in the kayak...sort of. I totally tipped and flopped in the water the first time I got in it. scary! And that was before I really even got started. haha. Not a good sign.  Got back in the dang thing and made it happen. Not a pleasurable ride though....for fear of tipping...

 Steady goes it..back safe and sound...

We get back from the lake on first day and dad is cooking away, jamming to his tunes. Almost caught him on tape dancing....darn it. Could have used it as payback. ;) We did tin foil dinners in the fire pit. Yum!

S'mores by the campfire....

Emmsie does her marshmallows to perfection. I'll have her as my cook any day. She even got up in the morning and fixed us waffles with strawberries...She's a gem...

K, so did you know that August 10th is National S'more Day? Who knew?...Here's a few s'more ideas for ya...go gourmet style..with one of your favorite candy bars...or instead of using graham crackers use the Keebler Fudge Stripes...then you don't have to buy chocolate bars..easy peasy.. 

I'll have some more ideas on s'mores real soon....
