Romero's Summer of Fun

This summer is for the most part over and I have been having too much fun to work on the blog....so this blog will probably leave out some of the details, but hopefully record some of the things we have done so that I don't forget. I am getting old and I forget things quickly!
Our first family adventure was to Las Vegas. Okay, it is not the ultimate place for a family vacation, but it worked well for us. We have a timeshare through Wyndham, and there is a very nice resort in Vegas, which we have gone to a couple of times. Greg and I have wanted the kids to see some of the shows there that we have enjoyed like a Cirque de Soule. We went to see Mystere. It was great! Nothing like Ka' which Greg and I had seen before, but it was still amazing.
We have spent time camping as well. We discovered one site that was up Provo Canyon way up past Squaw Peak, called the Hope Campground. It was beautiful, but the drive was steep! We were joined by Matt and Sharlene, Ryan and Lauren and Billy and a Rebecca and kids, as well as Michael and Christy and kids. It was a lot of fun, but we probably won't go back to that site because of the drive to get there. Our second camping adventure was to Payson Lakes. This site was a winner! It is serene, and gorgeous. I told Lauren that I always feel closer to God when I am camping...she ssid it is because you ARE closer to God when you are camping. I love to look at all the amazing beauties of nature. I take in the smells of the pine, the brightness of the night sky and stars that I never can see at home with all the city lights. I really love to camp! We bought a little inflatable raft, and the kids were able to take it out to fish. Everyone caught a few fish, and we fried them up for dinner. I have to say they were pretty tasty. Milo ate the left overs, and was very possessive of his food that night! He turns his nose up to tuna, but he loved the trout!
