Taking Jack to the Temple!

As a parent, these are wonderful days! Jack Merril Campbell received his own endowment at the St. George Temple today! Juliet met us at the temple with the younger kids and we went to Iceberg afterwards. Grandma and Grandpa Campbell joined us. 

At the temple, Grandma Gordon, Maxine, and Grandma and Grandpa Campbell were able to be there. Matt Chappell was the officiator for the session. That was a coincidence but fun to see a familiar face.   

 

Quail Paddleboarding

The girls and I decided to hit the lake because everyone else in the house was out of town. Maxine was at FSY and the boys were in Idaho riding dirt bikes.

I'd never taken them to Quail to paddleboard before. 

The grotto at the north end of the lake is so lovely. We had a great time and finished before the sun was too high.

 

Juliet's Golden Birthday!

Juliet turned 17 on the 17th so it's her golden birthday! Brekky at Bear Paw is a perfect way to start the day!

Then she wanted to go to the lake and go cliff jumping with her friends!

Jacky and Talon! Merril was here too but there's only video of him.

Nathan, Juliet, Will, Allison, and Nicole are a fun bunch!

Calf Creek Falls

I follow some hiking bloggers on Instagram and I've seen people hike Calf Creek Falls. It's over in escalante grand staircase area. I've wanted to go for a few years and put it on the summer bucket list. Merril asked if we wanted to go for a little getaway. The hike was perfect despite me not feeling very well. I didn't want to cancel because it was going to be closed for the rest of the summer for remodeling.

We started early in the morning, around 8:00 a.m.

The falls did not disappoint. I thought they were beautiful, especially in a place where we don't get much water. The water at the bottom of the falls was pretty cold though. I only waded in up to shins.

Love this man! We've been married for 24 years and it's been amazing. Can't wait for more adventures!

Girls Camp 2024 and Fish Lake

I was called into young women's in April and that means that I get to go to girls camp! I wish I was able to spend more time with the girls but I was trained on a zip line and was there a lot of the day. I went with Merril to be trained on the zip line because he needed to be trained for young men's camp. But I ended up being at the zip line anytime it was running. It's fine but I don't think me or the stake young women's president had any idea that I would need to be there all day. 

It was hot during the day but nice and crispy during the morning. It was Mikayla's first year at camp.

This was our whole crew! I feel like we had a good group!

Juliet was on the stake hype squad. She would get everybody excited at roll call and when we would gather together. She and Nicole did great! They were so cute! 

While I was at girls camp, Merril went to Fish Lake for SAR training and took the rest of the peeps.

 

Summer's Going and Baja 500

Mark was attacked but the stuff in the garage. This is Jack's nice electric scooter that he won at Grad Night.

Merril and Jack went to Baja right after grad night to help in the pits for Kadin in the Baja 500. They rode a bunch of the course. They stayed at Baja Oasis. Kadin hit a rock and messed up his bike and shoulder a little bit. He finished 4th but wanted to do better.

Apparently, they left Baja, went to scout camp, and then came back to the race.
