The Frost Family: It' Been Two Months!!!

The "Camping" Trip

This was supposed to be our camping trip for the year. Our plan was to go up to the La Plata Mts. and camp by the river. Unfortunately the day before we were leaving Bryce and I both were having the feeling that maybe we shouldn't go. So, we decided to listen to our feelings and instead we would camp out in our front room and go 4-Wheeling all day Saturday. So, Saturday morning we woke up and got the four wheelers ready and headed for the La Plata Mts. However, as soon as we got out of our car it started to pour on us. And it rained from the time we got out of our car until we left the canyon. So, we came to the conclusion we probably shouldn't be in the La Platas. So, we drove over to Vallecito Lake. We got the 4-wheelers out and went up middle mountain. We made stops to check out the scenery and we hiked up near a small waterfall for a while.... We got back on the 4-wheelers and ended up going about eight miles up middle mountain before we decided to turn around. Payton was loving it!!! She loves the 4-wheelers. She was laughing and waving at Bryce as we went up further and further. Bryce even spotted a deer and we stopped to check it out (she has been talking about the deer ever since). Things were going smoothly. However, as smoothly as it was going up.... it was that rocky on our way back. Payton Decided to get on the 4-wheeler with Bryce. She was riding in front and Bryce was going up a hill with all of these large rocks and he hit one and her face slammed into the handle bars. It was an immediate bruise on her little cheek bone. So, she decided to get back on with me but she was crying so hard that I decided it would be okay if she rode in the front with me. However, as we were going down a hill, we hit a rock and her face slammed back into the handle bar. And of course, it was an immediate bruise right on the same cheek bone. After that all she wanted to do was go home. So, we rode back down the mountain and went home. It was, for the most part, a very fun day. Even with Payton's war wounds!!!!

I am pretty sure she is the CUSTEST little girl EVER!!!!

THE SAN JUAN COUNTY FAIR

Here we are at the Fair. Payton LOVED all the animals. She was a little freaked out by the snake and alligator but she's pretty brave. We didn't ride any rides (she's still pretty small) but we walked around and ate roasted corn and played a couple of games (Bryce won her a $10.00 Teddy Bear that was about the size of a large orange) After that we decided we would head home!!! It was way fun though and by the way she slept that night, I think she had fun too!!!

THE PIONEER DAYS IN KIRTLAND

Every year Kirtland has a Pioneer Celebration. They have a parade and afterwards they have a bunch of festivities for the fam. They have games set up for the kids and then they have a Big Race and a Softball Tournament. The race is set up into age groups. So, they start off with 1 year olds and go up from there. Last year Payton just stood at the starting line and cheered on the other kids but this year she actually ran, which was way fun. And afterwards Bryce and Jimmy played in the softball tournament. It was a long day but we had a good time!!!
