24th of July.

I love Utah for celebrating Pioneer Day! I'll be honest... I don't think too many people think of the pioneers on that day, but because of them we get the day off, we get to BBQ, we get to spend the day with family friends, we get to go to parades, and we get to watch more fireworks. I love holidays! So, thanks to the pioneers to give us another reason to celebrate!

We started the day off with the 10K Speedy Spainard. I think this is my 4th year running it. It's for sure one of my favorites. We had quite the group this year. 

Brooke, Jodi, Nikki, me, Nat and Megan. 

It was a great run. 

After the run, I went to grab the girls to go back to the parade. Lauren and Morgan were in it for dance and Andrew was in it for baseball! Fun to see them!

After the parade, we went home to pack up for the lake house! The lake house is Cam's boss' house. It's a man made lake out by Tooele. There are about 4 houses out there. It's a private, gated lake, so it's very secluded. 

Cam had to get a couple things done out there, so Ryan (Cam's boss) told him to take his family out with him. He's a pretty sweet guy!

This place is amazing. The house is beyond beautiful. I wish is gotten some pictures of the front too!

This is the kitchen dining room. 

The girls would go out and play in the sand and water. It is so blue!!

We hit the lake. Ahhhh! I love hanging out on a boat. 

We also had Ryan's new boat. He needed Cam to put some hours on it. 

That was another reason we had to go out there! I'm not complaining that sometimes for work we have to drive a boat around!!

There were only 2 hours on the boat when we got there. This boat is sooo nice. Everything is touch screen and I have never seen such a large wake!!

We were out there all day. The sunset was beautiful!

Cam doing a little evening surfing!

After we got in and cleaned up they were doing some fireworks. Pretty to watch them out over the lake!

Friday we went back out to the lake. 

The girls would come out and then go in to the house and watch a movie. We could see them come out on the porch and wave to us when they were ready to come back on the boat!

A little surfing! 

We went in for lunch and to play outside. 

We played in the sand, jumped on the tramp, went paddle boarding (which I love and didn't get any pictures), and  jumped off the boat dock roof. I couldn't talk Sage into jumping!! Maybe next time :)

Back to the lake. The girls loved sitting on the back on these little chairs!

Cam and the girls swam in the water. 

Sage and Cam just chilling.

We were trying to get pictures with the sun setting. We were out there until dark, then had to come in and pack up! :(

You can turn on these giant lights to keep boating. There were some people out when we came in. Anything goes when it's your lake I guess!!

Loved this place. It was beautiful!

We wore the girls right out!! Yep- they slept like that the whole way home. We didn't have their car seats in the truck, and they didn't put their seatbelts on. 

Bad parenting... Maybe?! But they looked really comfy!

It was a fun weekend!

Coming home is always the worst...

So much cleaning and laundry! Oh we'll, it's worth it.
