Summer 2018 highlights in chronological order

Mom telling an ancestor story at Ambryn's birthday party

Lots of sleeopovers and games in Orem





Traditional taffy making.  It's all ceremony, no one really wants to eat it except Vanessa who broke a tooth.
Westgate toxic sludge baths
Moab rafting with Kaleb's fam, Stacey, and some other friends
We got on the river for a short warm up section to test our gear after getting to the launch quite a bit later than we'd planned.  By the time we got to camp, after dealing with strong upstream winds and extremely low water, it was 10:45 pm and absolutely pitch black (no moon).  Travis and Asher both said this was their favorite part of the trip.

Millcreek canyon water slides were another highlight, except when Stacey hit rocks jumping off the cliff.
