Vacation musts


Babe and Austin have a tradition to hike Adams Canyon when we are down, they are the only ones who actually make it to the top- I just stopped going because all I want is to see the waterfall at the end, and pictures work for me! haha

May is birthday month- starting out with Mindy on the first then Ben on the 8th and me on the 9th.  We had a joint party for us 3 before we went home.  Yay for birthdays!! 

^^ These people are my everything.  I love that they please me in taking thousands of pictures all the time while I am there!  ^^

FHE at G&G Cravens helping with yard work.  I have always loved working there, so many memories I have are there.  I am so glad Jenson is getting the chance to hang out there as well! 



Hanging window shutters on Mindy and Mikes house- wasn't as easy as we hoped but they change the look of their house so much!  
Grannie Annies- a MUST for breakfast while in town! I dream about their scones some times! 


Selfies with Grandma.  I love being with family!  My mom is always so good with hanging out outside watching Jenson while I got ready or took naps cleaned the house. ;) You forget what it is like when you don't have so much family around! 
All the men went shooting, I told them to take lots of pictures and even gave them my selfie stick to use.  This is the only one we have- that I took before they left.  haha 
There was so much family in town while we were there that we put together a mini family reunion with all the Watson's (moms side) that could come!  It is so fun having so many aunts and uncles living closer now- we were only missing 2 aunts out of the 6!  It was so fun to catch up with my cousins and just hang out for the night!

On Mothers Day we packed up the car and headed home :( BOO for traveling on holidays and a extra boo for having to leave family.  We were ready to go home though and get back on a schedule, and back to our life in Kansas!

Antelope Island

Like I said early vacation for us growing up was more about what we could go and do rather then how lazy we could be.  My dad felt bad that Babe was just sitting around so he came up with bunch of stuff around town we had not done yet.  Antelope Island was one of them!  It was also a first for me! We saw some cool wildlife while we were there too! 




^^ Only missing Josh in the picture with my dad- The boys outweigh the girls in our family! ^^
Babe showing us how to rope.. he actually did catch it! 


^^ Buffalo burgers! ^^

^^ Boys will be boys... haha all had to take a pee before we got in the cars to leave! LOL ^^

Ensign Peak

We are not much of a hiking family (okay the Cravens aren't- Babe is part mountain goat I swear!)  I guess I have done Ensign Peak before but didn't remember it.  It was such a pretty hike though, the weather was amazing, even a little scary at times with the rain but it was so fun overall! 




Jenson walked the whole way up, I thought I was going to die at points and then I would look up and there is Jenson just walking away like it was nothing.  He wouldn't even hold my hand- he left me in the dust just like his dad!  haha


Grandpa did carry him up the very last part of the hill- grandpas are best! 





Dad read to us some prophecies from Isaiah about this place, another testimony that God has a plan, there is no doubt in my mind that this church isn't true.



While on our way to the top Kyron made it up in like 15 minutes- I guess he thought we were to slow so he tried to carry me up the last little hill! haha

Such a beautiful place, with people I love!
