July 19, 2023 The UP of Michigan

Kaleb goofing off while Jack and I are in the grocery store


Have you ever heard of Black Rocks Beach in Marquette, MI? We hadn't either until this morning, and when the guy telling us about it said "If you go, you have to jump off the cliffs,"  the boys were all in! Hello Lake Superior.... twice!!  I'm a wimp and only put my toes in. The water was sooooo cold! 
When I was watching I thought,  I didn't know Kaleb could swim that fast. Later Josh told me a son as they got out of the water Kaleb turned to him and said, "I didn't know I could swim that fast." 😂😂
After that we drove a few more hours and got to Michigan where we found this cute park and I cooked dinner. 
While we were cleaning up we noticed this truck pull in really slow then turn around then come back again.  He finally stopped and asked if we were looking for somewhere to stay cause there was a free campground just up the road.  We said thank you but we were still going to be driving a few more hours.  Once he was gone Josh said that guy was probably wanting to kill us and I told him I was thinking the same thing!  Haha Then he said,  "You know, if it would have been Paula here, she would have went and they would have become best friends and she'd come visit them every year." I laughed so hard because he was 100% correct

July 30 - Aug 5 Alturas Lake Idaho.

6 months ago Josh text his family and gave them dates that we would be camping in Idaho and 31 of them made it! Josh has always told me of all the places he traveled, Alturas Lake is his favorite! We spent 5 days in the mountains without cell service, electric, and water because the campground didn't have any open sites. I was nervous at first but once we got the bikes unloaded we were able to take them to the campground and use the bathroom and get water.  Aunt Carrie always makes sure to play games with Kaleb!  Grandpa Randy Jones Grandma Sandy Jones Jack and Zach  Trent had only been home 4 days from his mission in Canada before coming camping. ❤️ Trent and Saige  This was the first time we didn't have a boat with us so Josh spent the week trying to make friends with people hoping that he would get a tow. There were two families in particular tha...

4-1 The ski hill that Josh grew up going to is still open but only on weekends, so they hiked to the top of it and made their own jumps.  The boys were not impressed with the journey getting up there but had so much fun once the work was done!  4-4 Our nephew Zach works at a zoo in Twin Falls so we went and saw him.  This is the perfect job for him! He's so knowledgeable about all the animals and you can see how much he loves what he does. We enjoyed our visit.  4-5 I took the boys to a skate park in Burley today and Kaleb had a pretty bad crash and we ended up in Urgent Care.   Good thing he can still play his oculus while he's recovering! 😂😂 4-6 They went back to Pomerelle on Saturday to snowboard.  The boys were so excited that they got to ride the lifts this time.  Haha ...

I guess the fall is wedding season now because we had 2 in 2 weekends.  Josh and I were able to celebrate Roman and Teresa's wedding with them and a lot of our neighbors! The day was beautiful and we love their family so much!  Josh left the next day for Nevada for 6 weeks and missed Steph and Kenny's annual birthday party! I love that we celebrate the grown ups birthdays with the kids!  Our BMX team planned a day to go to a new skate park and when we got there there was an event going on that none of us knew about so it was so crowded.  Jack doesn't have a park bike so he brought a skateboard and I was so proud of him for just getting out there and trying even though there were so many people.  He really is growing up!  Then he took his mountain bike out there and had fun with the other kids on bikes Kaleb On Oct 21st we had t...
