Next we went Camping with Rich and Lisa , Heather and Dallan, Megan and Ernesto, and all the kids! We went to this great place Rich found called Maple Grove...it was a perfect site with plenty of room for all of us and it even had a little stream that ran through the middle so the kids could fish. They loved it...although Uncle Rich caught most of the fish! :)
After Maple Grove, we went to Yellowstone National Park with our friends Brian, Julie, and Easton. The kids loved sleeping in our tent...especially since I made Trev buy a tent heater before we left. :) We saw tons of wildlife during the day and played some intense games of Settlers at night in Brian and Julie's tent trailer. The kids loved seeing all the buffalo, elk, deer, and even bears...that's right folks we saw 3 black bears! On our way home we stopped at Bear World in Rexburg and saw probably 20 bears as well. They also had these little kids carnival rides that our kids just LOVED! They still say their favorite part of the Yellowstone trip was Bear World. Expensive place, but definately worth it!
<---The kids rock-climbing.

Morgan and Daddy at the outlook to the Lower Falls...gorgeous view but 325 stairs to get there! Not the best idea when you are prego with twins. :)
<----- Jake watching the Upper Falls...much easier access. :)
After Yellowstone the very next weekend we had our cousins Jordan and Ryan come stay the week with us. We partied NON-STOP!!! We went to the pool, played on our big waterslide, Seven Peaks water park, Girls' Night Out, Boys' Night Out, ran a 10K, went to 2 parades, visited temple square, and even went to the Miley Cyrus-Stadium of Fire Concert complete with an amazing fireworks display! Whew...it makes me tired just thinking about it! But it was sooo fun to have Jordan and Ryan here...we miss and love them soo much! Here are a few pics of that week...
*Just a sidenote: We got this waterslide at the beginning of the summer. I can't tell you how many times we have used it...and it is seriously one of the BEST purchases Trev and I have made! Major props to the Waterslide!!! LOVE IT!
Once Jordan and Ryan left we were off again...this time to Lake Powell!!!! Thanks to Heather and Dallan (especially Dall's parents) we get to go to Lake Powell once a year...play on Dall's parents boats and toys, and even stay at their home and shower regularly. We eat tons of yummy food and the kids have a blast! This year it was Trev and I, Heather and Dall, and Rich and Lisa - plus all our kids of course. The first day we had 2 waverunners and this was by far Jake's favorite part. He want to take a ride on the "boat" all day long! I even braved them as well...and wound up in the emergency room that night! :) No big deal, I just woke up with major cramps in my stomach and so the doctor told me to to go to the emergency room just to make sure everything was okay. I did and they did all sorts of tests and both of our little girls are just fine. They were however, in a big fight when we did the ultrasound. :) I hope this is not a sign of things to come... :) Here are some pics from this super-fun trip...THANKS Heather and Dall!
<---- Trev's new favorite toy....we got a water balloon launcher! He couldn't wait to try it out so we took it to Lake Powell and pelted each other. :) 
Whewww...okay so that gets me all caught up! It's hard to believe that we have already done all of this and we only have about a month left of summer! As you can see it has been really crazy but super-duper fun and it's not over yet! We love SUMMER!!!
