Bear Lake End of Summer Trip

Last summer for Labor Day weekend, our friends Chad and Jen Stokes invited us and a few other families (JD and Alisa Dunn, Shaun and Laurie Freeman, and Jason and Shana Bunderson)to their parents cabin in Bear Lake. It was a blast. The Dunns brought their "Monster" boat and we all went wake boarding and surfing. In the evening after the kids went to down, it was adult time to play games and laugh. We had a great time, can't wait to do it again. Here are a few photos from the trip:

New York Trip with the Gunns

Firestation located right across the street from "Ground Zero", they saw and participated in a lot of the action as it was happening.

Manhattan's Time Square (our hotel was located right here.)

In August of 2009, we took a fabulous trip to New York, downtown Manhattan. I had never been there before and since Aaron has several clients, we decided to take a trip. We went with some friends from our new neighborhood, Travis and Summer Gunn. We left the kids home and headed out. We saw the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Ground Zero and Museum, the "Top of the Rock" observation deck, Times Square, and a few braodway plays including "Wicked" which was amazing. I think though my favorite part was having New York Pizza at midnight. Nothing compares to a slice of New York pizza. I don't think I will ever go again in the summer as it was SOOOOOO hot and humid. If you have any natural curl to your hair, it will frizz, despite all attempts with the flat iron. Next time, the fall or Christmas will be best.
