Sky News and Mormons

An interview our family did for SkyNews in the UK

Girls Camp?

This summer our ward girls participated in a Pioneer Trek...since they had to rough it, we decided to let them enjoy girls camp (it was really a girls retreat if you ask me).  We stayed at the top of a gorgeous mountain past Kamas that our friends the Croslands own and "camped" out in their guest cabin.  We enjoyed amazing food (thanks to us leaders), fun crafts, and some exploring time on 4-wheelers where we saw a moose, deer and antelope.  Thank you Croslands...this is my kind of camping!!! 
 
With the leaders: Me, Shelly, Bethany, Carlie

 After eating dirt for 3 hours we came back with black and dusty faces, but it was so worth it

Shock and Awe

Little Esti loves 2 youtube videos; one about the solar system, and the other is hickory dickory dock.  Watch how she gets into this!

Open mic

Madison is continuing the tradition she started in Kansas this summer and singing at open mic night in a local establishment in town.  She was so amazing!

Hiking

Mads and I are trying to take advantage of living in such a beautiful mountainous state.  May of these hikes are under 30 minutes away from our house and it's about time we take advantage!

Lake Powell 2012!


Well it seems I've closed a chapter on the colemankids.blogspot site (exceeded the memory) after just over 4 years.  Our newest adventure was spending a week with the Coleman's in Lake Powell over Madison and Mike's birthday.  What fun it was.
