Johnson's: Johnson Family VK 2011

Every year, my (Chris speaking) family goes on a week long vacation with my dad's side of the family. It's not really the dirty camping that we used to do, but we do manage to get out and spend time outdoors for the week. This year they went to Coalville, Utah. There is a place called camperworld that's got grass, shade, showers, a pool and hot tub, a basketball court, and a fish pond. Not exactly roughin' it if you ask me, but when you're out with your grandparents, some things become more important than others. Justine and I went up Thursday evening last week and stayed with them through Saturday morning. Friday was the day of exciting times. The guys went golfing in the morning in Morgan. I even birdied a hole this time around. I sunk a nice little 15-20 foot put for birdie on a 180 yard par 3. No pictures though unfortunately.

After lunch we all went swimming for an hour or so. It was breezy and a little cold, but not too bad. We enjoyed getting a little sun although we should have applied sunscreen a little earlier than just before jumping into the pool.

After our swim excursion, my cousin Nathan organized some family games. We had an egg toss contest, an egg on a spoon relay race, and played a game of pseudo-water balloon volleyball (naturally it turned into a big water fight).

We had to hand off an egg on a spoon and race back and forth between two points. After everyone did that individually, the team had to form a circle with everyone putting in one finger to the middle resting the egg on top of the pile of fingers and racing back to the finish line. Justine caught her team's egg just as it was about to drop to the ground. Unfortunately, the egg didn't fare so well in the fall.

Pay careful attention to this video of our water fight. Justine nails me from point blank range 10 seconds into the video. All I have to say is that it really hurt!

Later that evening we played croquet, ate steak, and roasted mallows. It was very enjoyable.

Saturday morning we went to Park City to go shopping at the outlet malls. I must admit, Justine found the best deal I could have ever imagined on some skinny jeans. Just over $5 per pair after tax. It pays to look around I guess. I must admit too, she looks pretty good in her new pants! Love you honey!
