Berry Picking Take 2

In two weeks we went through 1 1/2 containers of jam, I knew there was no way what I had was going to last us a year so I took everyone back to the berry patch to pick some more. This time we ended up with over 12 lbs of raspberries which ended up making 27 1/2 jars of jam. I am really hoping this will last us until next year, but it really seems to be going fast. Fingers crossed!!

Yuba Lake - The End

We have had a very busy summer, and so have the Scrivner's, which meant we have not seen each other in a very long time. We decided to change that and head down to Yuba lake for one last swim before the summer ended.

To make it even better we made dutch oven for dinner, so good!!

Goodbye Yuba. But don't worry, we will see you a bunch next summer!!

Memorial Day

It was rainy and cold for the majority of the weekend but on Monday the sun came out and it was a beautiful day. We decided to take advantage of Rob's last day off and go out riding on the trail we found a few weeks ago.

We had a few mishaps but everything turned out just fine and we all came home safe and sound, so we will stay focused on the good which was the fun we had and the beautiful view from the top.

Hot Dog Roast

On a whim Friday night we decided to head to our favorite picnic spot in Diamond Fork Canyon, Red Ledges, and roast hot dogs. The kids found a lizard when we first got there and Rob helped them catch it, they climbed rocks, and we enjoyed some yummy hot dogs (Wranglers, the only kind we eat).

Rob took the kids on a longer hike to the top of some of the rocks, they were coming back down when Samantha slipped and started tumbling down the rocks. Thankfully Rob was in front of her and caught her before she could get close to an edge. I was at the bottom and my heart stopped as I watched her fall completly helpless. Thankfully she was just a little scraped but she learned a valuable lesson that you don't hike in flip flops. I was so thankful she was being watched over, so scary!!

       

After we were done eating we drove up a little farther and found a big parking lot where Rob could fly his plane. We also found it was a trail head and we are looking forward to taking the 4-wheeler and motorcycle back up to go riding!!
