The Family again

Browne Lake!!

Its always a good time when all the family gets together. This year for the BIG camping trip we went to Browne Lake in the high Unitas. By the time we finally got there and everything set up it was just about time for dinner. The first and only wildlife that we seen was a small bull moose on Thursday night. Its really hard to see him because he was across the lake.

The Fish were jumping like crazy the whole weekend but they didn't like anything that we had to feed them.

Friday everyone just wanted to fish, so marshael and i decided to take that dogs out and run them with the four wheeler. We found this ATV trail that runs along the river. It was an old military wagon trail. We only went three miles but holy cow i don't know what they were thinking back in those day. Maggie would lay down in the river when we would have to cross it, I guess she was hot.

Saturday was quit the experience. We floated the green river just outside of flaming gorge. It is just a self guide. We were having a great time, we came upon the biggest rapid on the green river called the mother-in-law. The water run right a long a rock wall so we opted to stay more towards the middle what we didn't see was this rock until we hit it. We hit it side ways and sunked the boat half way under and threw everyone out but me because my foot got stuck in the boat. when i finally got my foot out i crawled up on the rock just when i did i heard marsh yelling for me. Ill admit it, i was scared, we all had life jackets on but i didn't dare jump because of the under tows and all the rocks that were around. Finally after about 15 minutes of boats just going passed, we were blessed that one finally stoped to help. We tried to get the raft but it would move, so i just used that rope and jumped and they pulled me to safety. I am truly grateful for Scott and Keith for stopping and helping. I have a bunch of bruises and a sprained ankle but ill take it just to be OK. They say its happens alot on this rock.

My little family that i am grateful for. I love you so much Marsh

Just the girls. Katie, Mom, Cari, I and can't forget Maggie

Everyone that came minus my uncle Joel he was setting up the camera and my mom was taking pictures.

All Because two people fell in love!Grandma and Grandpa Ramsdell, we are so grateful that they were able to come up.

The Newest Addition!!

The newest addition to the tripp clan is finally here. Baby McCrae Deloy Kinsman came saturday. He is the biggest baby so far at 7lbs 2oz and 20.5inches long. Congrats to his Partents Rob and Stacy. We are so Happy that he is here.

BIRDS!!

Last night as we were getting ready for bed and i opened the back door to see if the garage doors were shut.One of the doors has to be Manually close and as i got closer there were about four barn swallows that were sleeping on the door and they freaked out and started flying all over. It probably took marsh and I about 45 minutes to get them out.

Pony Express

Its that time again, time for the pony express. Every year there is a reenactment of the pony express that back in the 1860's to carry mail from St.Joseph, MO to Sacramento, CA on horse back. The Tripp's have been doing this for generations now.Marshael just received his 15 years patch.Something that he wants to carry on with our kids. This year we took the mail from Murray park in down town salt lake to Simpson springs out on the west desert. We were very lucky that the weather was good for us since everyone else had to deal with the rain and mud. Normally by the time the day is over they run a total of 4 miles, but this year marsh ran 12 miles total( due to lack of riders and a pregnant sister). You can read more about it at xphomestation.com
This is Marsh swearing in.

On the way home coming a crossed the west desert there was a herd of horses(about 125 horse)were on their way to get water when they split our truck. I wish i knew how to upload from my video camera so everyone could see it because it was the neatest thing i have seen. Here a couple of pictures that we took.
