Greys River

Ugh...so frustrated with myself that I have gotten so far behind.  I really enjoy keeping a blog for journaling purposes, so that is my goal for this year to be MUCH better at posting.  Now to get caught up on summer vacations from last year...

Our first trip was to Grey's River.  We had quite the crowd up there since this is when all the Kay extended family gets together.  This has been a tradition in their family for as long as Jared can remember.  Our girls always ask if we are going to Greys River for the summer.  They really enjoy that trip and playing with cousins.  We target shoot, go on 4-wheeler rides, fish, hike, play games, make s'mores, go see the Bar-J Wranglers, eat, eat, and eat some more...and most of all make memories. 

This has been such a fun trip and pushed me to get out of my shell to get to know other members of Jared's extended family.  They are a great group of people.

Jared and his brother, Tyler, loving fishing the Grey's River.

Our 4-wheeler trailer become the multi-purpose trailer with all the kids.  They play
toys in there, put on performances, slide down it, etc.

The girls love the river.

Gracie had surgery on both feet a week before the trip.  The girls took
great care of her and never left her out.

Kes loves helping the little kids and making sure they don't get hurt.

Ash was always doing her own thing.  She thought it was pretty fun
to roam wherever.

These two are the best of friends.  They do everything together.
