York Fair 2013

Yay!  The York Fair finally came!  I haven't been there in a long time, so it was nice to go again.

 These things cracked me up!  They looked like giant poodles! (I believe their real name is Alpaca)
 This baby lamb was born the day we were here.  So sweet!
 Butter sculpture...
 Camel Rides!  (I didn't go)
 This big guy was a little scary ;)
 Aww!  I wanted to take this little horse home!  Just my size don't you think?
 The winning pumpkin.  564 lbs.
 These two tractors were attached in the middle...don't know why...
All the pretty pumpkins!

Sandy Cove Vacation


     Ok, so about my vacation.... I know this is a bit old, but I just haven't had time.
We all had a great time and beautiful weather.  I went with my whole Frey side of the family so we had a nice sized group.  We stayed in log cabins right near the Bay.  I absolutely love that campground!  It’s so gorgeous and there’s plenty to do...thought I felt like most of the time we just ate and slept.  LOL!
   

Relaxing and playing volleyball at the pool.

The family eating supper.  We ate all our meals out at those picnic tables.  Always fun...


Inside and outside the cabin...sometimes a bit squishy ;)

Hiking before breakfast.


My first time ever kayaking on the Bay.  (I've never been kayaking)

Mini Gulf...

The Big Swing!!!!!
Ok, so the big swing... you were harnessed to a rope and pulled to the top of a 33ft pole.  So you’re basically hanging sideways up at the top of this pole.  When you get to the top you have to let go of the rope pulling you up and woosh.... you freefall for about 5 feet until your rope catches then you swing way high in the air.  Its crazy scary!  I can’t really describe it very well on here...it would be easier in person. 


Playing Gaga in the gym

Rock climbing!

So yes, we had a fun packed weekend!  But most importantly we got to be together as a family.  That made it so special!

Fishing.....Again

I have found that I absolutely love fishing!  This was our last trip with these friends since Cooper is leaving for college soon.

 I love this beautiful pond, but the fish just don't ever seem to be hungry.

 Reloading my hook with a minnow (Actually Cooper was doing it for me)
Thankfully we only got rained on a little from this cloud ;)

Wild Ride in the Kiddie Park!!!

You are probably wondering what in the world kinda post title that is, but I'll explain.  We have extra time on Tuesdays between shopping and my banjo lessons so we sometimes stop at the park.  It was being worked on for a while, but today it was open again... and since there weren't any little kids there...;D  we went for a wild ride on a plastic Dino on a spring.






No one should be allowed to have that much fun...:D

Fishing With Friends!

Last Wednesday my sister and I were able to go fishing with some friends that I work with at a blueberry farm.  We had a great time minus getting shocked by the electric fence and nearly falling in the pond :D

 Cooper and I with my little Perch
 Braelyn's really nice Bass
 Removing the hook...

Permit and a Car!!!


I finally went and got my permit last week!  Driving is somewhat fun but really nerve-wracking :D
Having my own car to drive makes it a lot more fun!..... now I just have to pay for it...(Grin)

 Yes, that's me :)

Fiesta!!!

This past saturday our youth group hosted a Fiesta at the home of our youth leader.  We played many fun games including trying to smash an opponents taco and a nacho cheese eating contest.  Needless to say the guys beat us :D
      We all had a great time and lots of good food!
