Lau Family Camping Trip

Our Family Camping Trip To Teton National Park






Our family has never been camping all by ourselves. This was the first trip that was just me Jared and the kids. And we had a blast! The really fun part about Jared's new job is that we get a whole week instead of a weekend to do what ever we want. So we had the whole week to go camping. If you haven't got the chance to go see the Tetons. You should really take the time to go see them. Because their absolutely breath taking! Makes you really stop and appercaicate for a moment what a beautiful world it is that our Heavenly Father has created for us. So besides the mountains, we saw Meadow after meadow of flowers, jenny's lake, 2 moose, 6 Buffalo, Lot's of deer( the kind with antlers too!), At least 50 elk, and not nearly enough fish! Topaz got to go fishing for the first time in her life. We even rented out a boat and went out on the the lake. But the only fish we saw were back at the marina. When we got back to the marina, kya got so excited when he saw the fish by the dock that he hurried and made a cast into the water and said hope I catch one! The kids loved our camping spot! We would be out doing something and kya would say i want to go back to the camper and play. Our camping spot was right along a creek. And this creek happened to have sand along it so the kids got to play in the sand and build truck road, princess castles and what have you, while daddy fished in the stream. Where we parked the trailer was really cool to. It was right next to some pine tree's that created a natural canopy slash play area for the kids. And some thing that I loved loved loved about are camping spot was that we were right in a meadow. It was a great trip. At the end of the trip when we had just got in the truck to come home, Kya said I loved this Family time. And that made the whole trip worth it right there.

Makya's 4th Birthday Party!






Makya had a blast at his 4th birthday party this year! He really wanted a fire truck birthday party. So Jared and I decided to get brave or crazy. And we did a our first kid birthday party. Which I thought it turned out really good for our first one. We had 13 kids there. Now that may not sound like a ton of kids. But it is when they're four year old's. We had a lot of parents say you guys are brave (i'm sure they were really thinking "they're crazy!"). The high light of Makya's party was that we had the town fire truck come to our house. It was AWESOME! They let the kids get in the truck and honk the horn. Then they let them spray water from the hose. They also did a fire safety persentation. They even told them the story of smoky the bear. It was cool!Needless to say it was a hit.The problem now is what are we going to do next year that's half as cool.

4th of July




We went to the parade here in soda for the 4th. We went with Grandma Lau. Aunt LaNae, Beth and Sally, found us and came and watched the parade with us. It was a special treat! The kids got sooooo much candy.
