Summer Adventures

 These summer days have been so full and so much fun...Carefree and full of family time together!

Ever since we have gotten home from our vacation we have felt like our summer was already complete! But there really is so much fun still ahead!

The Trickett's are going to soak it all in as best as we possibly can this fine summer!!! :)

 We have gotten new bikes to ride, and spend time each week mowing the lawn...We go to the temple each week and try to keep a good balance of what we fill our time with...(Except that we can never have too much "together" time...:)

Dallin went to EFY (Especially For Youth camp) at BYU with his cousin Cohen... 

 ...where they had a ball together growing spiritually while having a fun environment to do it in! Yippee!!! :)

  We have had plenty of good service opportunities, like helping our neighbors move, and taking care of Bernice, our 100 year old neighbor!

 We have gone on bike rides with friends, and family bike rides...

 (and it's always fun when you end up getting ice-cream ON your bike ride!!! :)

 We have played at parks and spent time with friends...

 ...we have said goodbye to missionaries leaving on their missions, and we have also welcomed some home...(and soon we will be welcoming home our very favorite missionary, Anziano Trickett!)

 We've done service with friends, pulling weeds for a sister who broke her leg...

 ...and service at our cabin trying to keep the grounds under control...

 We attended the swearing in of Riverton City's brand new independent police department where Yours Truly helped outfit their cars...:) (I'm so proud of this cutie!!!) 

Kambriella got to go to a two day camp for Activity Days and had a ball!!!

Swimming, canoeing, shooting BB guns and doing all things FUN!!!

Gavin went to scout camp and still has a few more to go to ...

 They went to Flaming Gorge and played and played and had a great time!!!

We have gone on many hikes, which is one of MY very favorite things to go do...

 ...exploring the mountains and paths and rivers and streams...

 Hiking Bell's Canyon and Battle Creek Falls...

 ...finding our way to caves and waterfalls...

 ...finding more parks and exploring new places to play!!!

 Going to the Bee's game and eating a Ball park hot dog to boot! ;)

 ...watching the Bee's mascot entertain the crowd (especially Dallin and Kambriella on the front row!)

 Eating ice-cream out of baseball caps...:)

 ...playing dress up and Barbie's with the BEST dad EVER!!! :)

 Trying to have QUALITY time together having fun AND talking about life and all of it's lessons...there are so many things to learn both individually AND as a family...

 We've celebrated holidays and special days, and even our average days!!!

 We went bowling on the 4th of July while it rained and rained outside...

 ...and although we ALL  tried our best, none of us could beat Clint! He is the reigning bowling champion of our family! ;) Although Kesslyn was getting pretty good with that Bumper Bowling...;)

 We have gone out to eat and to the movies, and we have even taken Flat Carew with us to see some of his favorite movies!!!

 We have met up with family that we love, eaten LOTS of ice-cream, and even filled our cheeks with gumballs. :) This summer has been amazing so far, and I can't wait until Monday when Clint and I leave for France and Italy!!! A summer of adventure is around EVERY corner!!!

I LOVE it!!! And I LOVE these peeps!
