Labor Day

For Labor Day, we spent it with our usual tradition up at Browne Lake in the Uintas. Since it was shortly after Jared was lost, a lot of memories rushed in when we would go on drives and especially when we drove past the area we walked through the woods and searched for Jared. We were so glad we could go up there with peace of mind since he was found safe. If it had a different ending, it would have been so hard going up there!

Mya and Parker LOVED camping again. We did some fishing, hiking (hiking to kids....just little walks for us) and had tons of family time! I can't wait for it to warm up again so we can go camping in the spring or early summer!

With everyone up there, we played fun games around the campfire, did a shooting contest, and we also did a time capsule. That was fun seeing what everyone put in there and will be fun to open it again sometime.

I'm a little late posting Labor Day since it's almost October now, but better late than never. We went up to Browne Lake again with my family. Mya went up a few days early with my parents and loved it. (In fact, we were talking in the car yesterday and she said she wanted to go camping tomorrow and she would go up with Grandma for a little while and then I could come up and she would sleep in her trailer - funny girl). I won't lie, I got a lot done in those couple of days without her...but I did miss her and was so anxious to get up there and see my little girl!

This year we invited Justin's brother, Braxton, to come with us. It's always a good time with Braxton. Him and Justin are pretty close so we usually see quite a bit of him. Mya really loved having Braxton up there! The things we did were just the usual but tons of fun and always a relaxing weekend. We did some fishing, campfires, roasting hot dogs/marshmallows, driving around to see animals at night, and hanging out with family. Mya loves having all of her cousins up there to play with her and aunts that compete to be her favorite and always have grandma and grandpa tied around her little finger. Parker loved it and he had all of the attention he could want!

It was definitely another fun year and I love this tradition!
I couldn't resist...she's cute even with her butt crack showing.
Mya caught the first fish of the trip from our family.
She's showing off her owies...A few days before she went up camping, she grabbed my hair straightener when it was hot causing 6 blisters across her little fingers. Poor thing...and the day before she smashed her pinkie turning her nail purple. It was a rough couple of days for that little hand.
