"STRAWBERRY SUMMER"

Well here we are at the end of the summer months, and we have enjoyed

every ounce of the summer this year. I have come to appreciate the warmth

of the sun and the happiness it brings into my life. We have gone camping a

lot. We have spent the last month in the Strawberry valley at Main Canyon

and Clyde Creek, It has been sooooo fun and relaxing to be in the mountains

enjoying all the beauty we are surrounded by and the quietness of the night, and the smell of the freshness. Of coarse the camp fire's, smores and good food.

We always seem to eat a lot better when out camping. I have loved watching my

grand babies play and get dirty, and the smell of their freshness as well at the end

of a long day of play and then a warm bath as I was able to hold each one of them

at the end of each night before bed. We had some fun teaching them how to play

horseshoes, one of grandpa's favorite games to play, going for hikes and walks, and pumping them full of sugar, playing in the creek , watching movies in gramme's trailer and building great memories to last a life time and then some.

Cory has been to the Book Cliffs hunting as well. What a wonderful experience that

was for him and our two sons . Cory's dad and nephew went as well, they had such a

great time and hunt. J.C. shot a 4 point and Cory a 3 point. It was the Archery Hunt, Then Cory also shot a Cow Elk as well with his bow. So we have plenty of meat for

winter months. The first week at strawberry we had 51 people with us at our camp

fire. 29 nine of us was from the Holt clan, what a great weekend it was. J.C.

and Elisa came up for the day and was able to bring my mom, she really enjoyed it I think. I'm so glad Cory and I have had this time this summer to focus on each other and enjoy the time that we have had together. I'm not quite ready for fall yet and for the cold weather to set in, I have enjoyed the sun sooo much. We will be in the sun in four months from today though so it gives me something to look forward to as winter approaches us.Hopefully you have all had as much fun as I have had this summer and are looking forward to the holiday season that is not to far off from us.
