Family Camp

We had such a fun time up in Utah and at family camp in Aspen Grove. The first day we were in Salt Lake and did the Temple Square tour, then the next couple of days we were in Park City. We love Park City, we could have easily spent a week hanging out there.

Here we are at 6 AM at the Long Beach airport.  We were so tired because we had to be up at 4 AM to catch the shuttle. This was CJ's first airplane ride, and he was ecstatic.  Miss B was a little clueless, but she did great on the airplane, thanks to the endless yummy snacks, books, and play-dough.

We spent lots of time here at the Park City Skate park.  Even miss B took a couple runs.  She had to do whatever CJ did.  She added her own flare though, she was holding her little baby doll the entire time.
Flying together and having a blast in Park City.


The cousins hanging out, waiting to go on the alpine slide, and the coaster.

First time on the alpine slide.  He and Daddy flew down the hill and never hit the brakes once!
This coaster ride was a blast.  It was so much faster than I expected.  CJ had such a fun time.  He was hooting and hollering the entire time.
We stopped at Granny's on the way to camp.  I had the best strawberry malt of my life.

The Struhs Family Reunion at family camp was great.  We would recommend Aspen Grove to anyone.
CJ playing with cousins Brady and Reef in their little group called the "Stompers."

Here we are playing Frisbee golf, one of my favorite activities.
There was a little pond to go fishing in.  We did not catch anything this day.  We should have gone earlier or later.  It was still fun for all the kids though.

First time Surfing Alone

CJ finally got the concept that he is supposed to stand up by himself after we push him into a wave. I love Doho because the waves are so small and gentle, and it is not intimidating at all for little kids to go out and surf. CJ loves it.
The wave ran out, but no worries, there is one behind him.
Here he is doing a little turn.

Family Party

We had a little family party at Grandma and Grandpa Hennings' home. My mom's parents were there and my dad's parents were there, plus all the kids and cousins. We had a blast having a yummy BBQ, playing baseball and eating ice-cream cones.

Welcome Baby Micah

We are so excited for Tad, Amber, and Saxon. We love baby Micah so much, especially Miss B. She is constantly giving him kisses and loves, she is a little mommy.
