End of Summer Snapshots


The first annual Kunz Family Camp Out Lip-sync night was kicked off by 
the Dunne's with "Pop Goes the World." The theme was 1980's

Brian and Brianna followed up with Weird Al's "One More Minute"

The Robison Family preformed an 80's cartoon mashup 
of The Smurfs, Duck Tales, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
We also brought back Ghostbusters.
(The videos are posted below for your enjoyment)




Some big and little explorers!

Kisses from momma




We always love seeing the wildlife


Kent saw some other wildlife on his way up to the lake



The kids love to go explore this little hidden pond

Some pretty intense ladder games


Some people just love camping and the outdoors

This is what a good man looks like!

Brother Cavett Eaton brought harmonicas and taught the kids a few lessons.
They loved it!


Games were played out of the rain

Anna just loves Marshal

Justin May had an interesting way of getting the sand out of his tent

Enjoying some hammock time

Cavett Eaton also brought a slack line that challenged some of the kids and the adults!

Sometimes it's just hard to avoid natures seed disbursement 

The kids always know how to have fun together.

Sandy Balloon Festival
After coming home and putting away our camping supplies 
we headed over to Sandy for some hot air balloon fun.








Castle Park
Our kids LOVE castle park (Veterans Memorial) and Marshal was no exception


Ogden Treehouse Museum
We were so happy to meet up with Tia and her kids to enjoy the Ogden Treehouse Museum

Braxton's got natural farmer blood in him. lol


We found Uncle Erik and Aunt Mariel in North Carolina

Voted most likely to find and love a llama

Finally got all the big kids together for a picture
  
Porter's Run
This is my friend Dominique with her son Mason crossing the finish line of Porter's run.
I felt very strongly the need to be there to take photos for her and show my support.

There is a lot more to her story than just these pictures...

I just don't think I could do justice to how amazing she is...

This is her beautiful family.
You can read some of her family's story in her own words here.

Ezra Kunz Family Reunion
Marshal enjoying the grass for the first time


He also enjoyed having his feet in the sand for the first time


A complete look of joy!

Cort's Primary Party
Cort has the best Primary teachers.

These lucky kids had a pool party at their teachers house.

Cort kept asking when he was going to have his next "swim lessons" at his teachers house.

Braxton started 4th grade.

When did he get this big?

Because of speech delay Cort started his third year of preschool this year

Such a ham!

Wearing his favorite shirt

Last Days of Summer
The boys had a nice summer day so they put it to good use


One of these days I'll figure our how to do night shots...
Then I have this beginner shot to compare it to.

I love the beauty of the summer clouds

There's nothing like that summer sky in August.

Good-bye Summer! We'll Miss You!
