More Summer Fun

So, we go on two vacations every summer.  One to Lake Powell, and one to Redfish Lake.  This year it just so happened that we went within a week of each other.  I don't know if I recommend that.  It seems to equal...exhaustion.  (yes, you can play too much).  So the kids had so much fun at Powell and their friends were with us and then we go to Redfish.  Without any friends with us.  Now I'd like to think that I'm a "cool" mom, that my kids like me, and that I'm fun to hang out with.  I'm not.  My kids do not think I'm fun to hang out with.  All you moms with little kids...beware....it will happen.  Fortunately for me, I do have one kid that still likes me.  Well, even he's a little iffy.  Nevermind.  He doesn't like me either.  So we get to Redfish and the kids are looking at me like this.  I'm not sure who's crotch is in the picture with Landon....but I hope it's not mine.  That's not a pretty sight.  Anyway, I'm pretty sure I was taking the picture:)

Serious??? I'm so bored they say....so then they start fighting.....and I'm on vacation....and I just want to kill them. Lucky for me, their friend Brock was there....(hallelujah) and then some other friends showed up too.  I've learned a lesson.....don't go anywhere without friends.  It equals torture.  Jaxon was happy cause he celebrated his 7th birthday there.  I wonder how many birthdays he will celebrate there since we always go over the 4th of July???? Hard to say.

Anyway, so lucky for me these kids showed up and they all had a great time.    

Jay doing his thing. 

We went on the funnest hike too to this lilly pond and a spectacular waterfall.  (the very very top picture on this blog is in front of that waterfal).  Jay opted to stay in the boat and fish, so he didn't get to be in the picture with us.  But the lilly pond was the cutest....isn't it?? Love Redfish Lake.
