~Utah Summer Games~

Hunter's basketball team, the Redhawks, came down to the Utah Summer Games to play ball and to have a ton of fun.  All the boys stayed at Jerry and Darinda's house with some of the families.  It really is fun to have Jerry and Dave coach these boys.  They are a fun group!  The first morning there we went on a 4 wheeler ride.  The boys had fun playing in the sand.

Hunter still looks like he is asleep, not sure if Rexton should be riding with him, lol.

Hunter wanted to try to climb to the top on the mountain.

Garrett LOVES driving Grandmas little car around :)

We played 2 games the first day and did the basketball skills clinic.  The 2nd game was a real nail biter.  Not a good game.  Dave got a T called on him cause he was upset with the refs.  We should have won that game, but lost by a basket :(

Of course we had to go back to the house to swim between games :)

The basketball skills clinic.  Hunter won
Silver in the Hot shot competition, which is GREAT!  He had the most competition than any other age group.  Like 30 boys.

I was so proud of Mckell this year.  She made 2 of her baskets!  Way to go Mckell!  She earned a gold medal and 2 silver medals.  The gold was in the Hot Shot competition.

Lexi was a little bummed.  Last year at the basketball skills night, they had music playing.  She was out in the middle of the floor dancing.  She ended up getting a bronze medal and said it was because she was a good dancer.  Well this year she had been practicing her dance moves, but there was no music.  She was bummed because she didn't get a chance to earn her medal for dancing, lol.

Ella, Jasmin, and Mckell with their medals.

The next morning we had an early morning game.  We won!  Then we headed to IHOP for breakfast.

We had a couple of hours to kill until our next game, so we all went to see How To Train Your Dragon 2.

We headed back to the next game, where our boys played really hard.  We lost, but it was a really good game.  After the game, we headed back to Leeds to play in the pool and have a BBQ.

The next morning we got up to go on the Kannara Falls hike.  It was a beautiful hike through slot canyons.

The boys up in the hole in the mountain.  I was a little worried that once we got them up there, we wouldn't be able to get them back down, lol.  But we managed it without any injuries.

Future NOJH basketball stars!

The Ladder

This hike was really so pretty!

The waterslide

We hiked our little tails off.  The hike lasted about 4-5 hours round trip.  These kids were troopers!  We stopped at Swigs on the way back to Jerry and Darinda's for sugar cookies and Dirty Diet Dr Peppers.  Then did some more swimming until everyone headed back home to North Ogden.

We really had a fun little vacation!  It was full of activities, but relaxing at the same time.  It helps that we had fun people to spend it with.  Can't wait for next year!
