Cherry Hill

I could have included some of these pictures on the "summer lovin'" post, but I thought it needed its own because it is so special! Oh how I love Cherry Hill! What a fun place to spend time with my family! 18 years ago we lived there...yes, lived there! We were without a home after leasing a house for three years and didn't have a place to go. So, we packed up our stuff, put it in a storage shed, borrowed my Aunt and Uncle's trailer and headed to Cherry Hill. I was only 10, but I still have great memories of my summer days there. Swimming, playing at the park, climbing cherry trees, eating cherries, playing skee ball at the arcades, getting prizes with my tickets, getting icecream, playing mini-golf, sleeping on the ground in a tent with three of my siblings the entire summer....GOOD TIMES!! Well, we try and go every year now since those beautiful days of summer in 1991! It is great to have our spouses and kids join us too and I know this will be a tradition for many more years to come! This year was especially fun because Garrett took his first ride down the big waterslide! He held on tight to Colin, but seemed to enjoy it! We can hardly wait until next year to go again and see how much more fun Garrett can have!

The whole gang! (minus Logan who had two three more weeks of his mission!)


The kiddie slide with daddy


Cousin Lindsay holding on tight!


Chillin and waiting for some lunch!

All the cousins enjoying the kiddie pool!


Garrett loved being able to walk and crawl around in the water! He did get a few good drinks in too!


Waving to mommy at the lazy river!

Colin and my brothers enjoying Cardiac Canyon!


The before shot at the big water slides. After almost 20 years since we lived there, they finally "updated" the water slides with a castle theme...complete with dragon spikes, lights, and fog!!! Way to go!


The after shot at the bottom of the water slide with daddy!

When you told me you lived there I thought you meant you lived in Kaysville. I didn't know you actually lived at Cherry Hill! That really would be the best summer ever! We have enjoyed playing there a lot this summer.
