Summer Adventures

Tyler and I like to spend our summers having adventures.
The summer I was pregnant with Cameron, Tyler and I spent four months living in a 10'x13' super rustic A-frame cabin (electricity yes, plumbing no) in the beautiful Uinta forest. We spent our mornings toting our toiletries to and from public bathrooms (me at 5am so I could get the "best shower") sometimes sharing the shower with a host of moths and sometimes spiders. We spent the day working at Aspen Grove Family Camp, at first doing things like replacing roofs on cabins and then later I watched babies all day while Tyler crawled under porches and dug sprinkler lines. We spent our evenings (when I wasn't too tired--remember I was pregnant) working MORE, hanging out with our 19 year old co-worker friends (whom we loved), watching movies, taking walks, and playing things like shuffle board. We spent our nights reading and sleeping in our home sweet home cabin. And I of course spent every moment "growing" Cameron. ;) We loved it!
Last summer we were lucky enough to spend 6 whole weeks visiting our parents in Ptown. We spent days at my parents' house and evenings at Tyler's parents' house. I got to sleep in most mornings (after feeding Cameron twice a night of course), Tyler worked on independent study classes, we had many fun lunches and dinners, went on walks, saw old friends, and Tyler helped his dad remodel his parents' room. It was a blast. And Ptown is so beautiful in the spring!
Then we spent the next 4 weeks in Hawaii with my family swimming, sunning, playing, but every morning we worked and worked on remodeling the house. (At least Tyler worked and worked on the house, someone had to stay with Cameron and that was usually me.) Of course we love this as well! (The rest of the summer was spent calmly doing normal things.)

So, what is the adventure planned for this summer??
First, we are going to take a week and hit up all the Utah National Parks! Tyler has been to none of them and we can't possibly leave Utah without seeing them! Cameron will spend his days on dad's back in the hiking pack. We are so excited! Then we hope to spend two more weeks enjoying our family in Ptown again! And then a week in Disneyland with my family. But the real adventure??

(drum roll...)

Sweet Home Alabama, baby!

That's right! We're headed to Alabama for 10-12 weeks for Tyler's internship with global outsourcing company Sodexo! (Tyler will most likely go to work for them when he graduates in December, but it doesn't have to be in the 'Bama. Of course for safety reasons I can't say the city but if you really want to know, email me. ) Neither of us has ever even visited the deep south. We're excited for the cultural experience (culture shock?) and also to visit surrounding areas. Now THIS will be an adventure!
