I'm trying to convince myself that mowing the lawn and raking up all the loose grass was just as good as running three miles this morning. I wanted to run, I just couldn't find motivation, so I did yard work instead. Just as good, right??

 

After getting back from Hawaii on a Sunday night we spent about three days at home before we headed to Bear Lake for the 4th of July weekend and a get together with my family. My parents rent a cabin every summer and we all spent Thursday through Sunday together. It's been a really good thing for everyone. I didn't take too many photos this year, but we did have a good time. We spent part of a day at the lake. A few people got out to golf a few times. The older kids went out a night or two and we had an epic ping pong tournament. The younger kids had a blast playing ghosts in the graveyard and us old kids had a good time hanging out and talking. We rented jet skis for a couple of hours and just really enjoyed spending time together.
