A little Vacation

We took the week Doug had off and went back home, to Utah, to visit our family that we hadn't seen in about a year. We got to celebrate Daisey's birthday with all her Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and Grandparents. She had such a good time playing with all of them! Not to mention the amount of presents...

While we were in Utah we went on a mini-camping trip up north and enjoyed some much cooler, enjoyable time outdoors. Of course we did one of Doug's favorite things to do. Fish. We had a good time watching Daisey look at the fish and play outside

I caught my first fish on a fly-fishing pole and actually caught a fish before Doug did! That night we broke out the marshmallows and chocolate and made s'mores. It was good to finally get to introduce Daisey to "camping" even though we stayed in a tiny cabin with plumbing and mattresses. She had the chance to get dirty and that's part of having fun camping.

When we got back from camping we took Daisey to her Great-Grandpa's to ride her first horse. She was a little nervous at first, but once she realized she could feed her it changed everything! She got to ride with her Great-Granpda, Doug, and me. It was great to watch her discover something new and learn that she liked it.

The next day we got back on the airplane and flew back to Arizona. It was a really quick trip, but we had a lot of fun. Hopefully it won't be another year before we get back "home" to visit.

Until next time,

Doug and Joyce
