Road Trip...

Rodg and I have been on the go almost all summer I think we finally took our last road trip for a while--- it was so fun we went to Las Vegas so i could go to a Crossfit Seminar and take my level 1 training test for Crossfit- it was a rough two days but I learned alot and had the best husband ever there to support me and I PASSED :)- We stayed away from the strip and I enjoyed Las Vegas more then I ever had before we spent most of our time in Henderson they had great places to eat and shop!! I spent way to much money at the Nike outlet mall.....and of course we had to go to PF Changs Rodg and I love this place:) We played in the pool and enjoyed the sunny days- it was a great little get away that ended way to soon:)

This is the group from Las Vegas that Certfied with me

Jani, Nick , Nathan, Max, and Charlie
Transferring lakes....we went from string leg to Leigh Lake

I am most likely the worst blogger EVER:) I love to look at everyones blog and see all the fun picture but for some reason I have a hard time finding the time to do my own- We have had such a fun summer almost every weekend has been full of activities- This weekend Rodger and I had the chance to go to Leigh Lake with my two brothers, and my brother inlaw and 6 of there kids- so off we went on our adventure....three canoes so two adults per canoe and two kids with all of our gear across this giant lake it took us about an hour and half to get to our camp site where we set up camp and got dinner all set- we then had some visitors...two deer- they had huge ears i had never seen deer that close...and they were close and the kids loved seeing them- then as we purfied our water and got ready for bed we could hear Elk bugling...first time for me then we got into our tiny little tent..not sure how me and Rodger both fit but we did and went to sleep I had been afraid of bears the whole time- people kept telling me how dangerous and hungry there were this time of year...but i woke up and we were all still alive:)

Maddy, Kynzee and me not really sure what we are about to get ourselves into:)

Rodger and Me and String Lake so Pretty

But then it gets scary we were all out on the canoes fishing the next morning and I had just told Rodger how glad i was we didnt get attacked by bears....when he yells.....BEAR i looked up and right at Nathans camp was a baby brown bear.....it took off running so we decided that we really needed to get camp cleaned up and leave before we rean into its mama bear....Rodger was helping me out of the canoe when i yelled Rodger beard...he said no that a deer and just then the bear lifted it head...and it was a small Grizzly bear..(Maybe one to two years old) I lost it i started screaming for Rodger to get in the boat and Jani and Jaden where screaming so Nick and Rodger decided to go clean up camp....so guess what Aunt Katies ends up doing taking...all 6 kids in the canoe with me in the middle of the camp while they clean up and look out for bears....it was hilarious the kids were so worried that we were going to get attacked by bears....it was the most fun i have had in along time- Thanks to my two crazy brothers and all those amazing nieces and nephews:)
