I could stay in Ogden all summer and not feel like I've missed out on a thing, but we did manage to leave town twice this summer.
First, a weekend at Bear Lake. My BFF has a trailer in Fish Haven and has generously invited us to stay there as often as we like. Look at her view:
The beach was nearly non-existent, but we enjoyed the ever-present perfect breeze, the company of our best friend, and a famous Bear Lake raspberry shake.
Our other trip was for a family reunion in Southern Utah. I was so incredibly nervous about making that drive on my own with three kids. About three hours into the drive I knew i could do it and was amazed at the realization that I really could do anything I set my mind to.
On the drive home, we stopped to see Cove Fort. It was fun to see how people lived a long time ago.
The highlight for the kids was watching a man make clay pots on a wheel. He gave the kids a pot which we managed to get home in one piece, but broke the next day.
Now I am perfectly contented to stay right here at home for the rest of the year, but I am making plans for a couple longer trips next year.
