FSY

Rockwell absolutely loved his week at FSY again this year. 

He went with Vincent, and they had a great time.

He loved the boys in his company. Rockwell called me one night to share a cool experience and had me on speaker phone. A couple boys came in the room and told me how much they love Rockwell and said I should be very proud of my son. Haha! I definitely am!

Tessa also absolutely loved her week at FSY!
She went with Hallee and they loved getting a whole week of sleepovers!!
Tessa loved her company and her counselors!
She said that there were two cousins in the room next to her and Hallee, and they quickly became great friends and had so much fun goofing off in their apartment at night. Cache fit right in with these girls and the five of them had a blast together.
Tessa loved the classes and said she learned a lot. She especially liked one teacher and went to her classes any time she could.
They got to go to the MTC and attend a devotional there. 
I loved hearing about both Tessa and Rockwell's experiences at FSY. They both grew stronger in their devotion to being a disciple of Christ, and both had a great time with Hallee and Vince and the new friends they made.

Pinecrest Lake Cont'd

 We spent time playing in the lake every day.

We also played a lot of games at the cabin.
Cleo doesn't like basically anyone besides her mom, but Paul got a couple minutes of holding her without her crying.
Tessa also got a couple minutes with Cleo before she wanted her mom again. :)
We went to the logs and Matt and the kids tried them out. You try to make it all the way to the end without falling, but they are really slippery and roll in the water. It looked super challenging!
The ice cream at the shack is so yummy!
Toy Story 5 was playing at the outdoor amphitheater, so all the boys and Marissa went and watched that one night. Tessa and I weren't really interested in seeing it, so we stayed back with Cleo so she could sleep and Marissa could enjoy doing something without a baby attached to her. :)
It was a fun week at the cabin with the Cheney family!!! We always love time with Matt and Marissa, and we laughed a lot all week. I'm glad we could make it happen!

Cleo's Bath Hike

 We hiked to Cleo's Bath one morning. You start out hiking the trail around the lake.

And then you break off and head back into the mountains behind the lake.
Then you basically rock climb the last bit. :)
Rockwell absolutely loved that part!!
Rockwell and Damon wanted a little faster pace than Asher and Liam's little legs could go, so I went ahead with them.
It's beautiful there!
You can see Pinecrest Lake in the distance.
Paul, Rockwell, Damon, Matt, Marissa, and Asher all cliff jumped. They had a blast!
It was a fun and beautiful hike!
