the summer winds....

have come and gone.... well not quite but with school starting for most in a few short weeks I decided ours is at an end as well. here's some of the fun stuff we've been filling our hot summer days with.

the first of July we had an awesome family reunion in beaver utah. after making the usual beaver jokes we got down to business. Our family, the Carlita Wilcox crew, was in charge of the festivities this year and we decided a Olympic decathlon would do just the trick! the events were fear factor, hula hooping, grandma & grandpa rely, truck pull, mummy wrap, walking boards, water rely, nba skills and sibling trivia! some of the names explain all the trouble and excitement the games created and if you lost, your family had to be in charge of planning the next reunion!!!! lucky for us our grandma has a pretty slick mind and even with all the cheating from the other groups she sailed us through the events and we took home the gold!!!! no more reunion planning for us! yehaa!!!

next we headed to bear lake!!! my favorite place ever!! thanks to the stanfields for letting us enjoy the sweet goodness of their perfect cabin on the awesome clear blue water. we boated and skied, wake boarded, had some good rounds of volleyball, swam and ate way to much good food(like famous raspberry shakes)!!!! it was another excellent week!!!!! the water was refreshing!!!

and then we headed to the relaxing bay of san diego and stayed with scott and jana!! cole and jana came along with us to make the trip even sweeter!!! we cruised around the city in a awesome mini van and saw all the sights from f-16 jets taking off (loudest things ever!!) to a sweet old granny wearing see through spandex with her thong hanging out (if the thought makes you vomit think how we felt when we saw it! but the good always ruled out the bad and the trip was pretty groovy! I miss the beach already.
