Galena


Jon and I had a great vacation with the Murphy's this past weekend! Jon and I left home Friday around noon. We made a quick stop in Williamsburg to shop. Our trip to Galena was a bit exciting. 1 wrong turn + heavy rain/storm + driving down a closed road that was partially eroded away from the heavy rain with a drop off to the river/railroad tracks = safe arrival in Galena followed by a few beers and a game of pepper.
Saturday, we relaxed, went for a walk, fished, and did some shopping (Jon opted to go golfing with Shane instead).


We headed back relatively early on Sunday—both of us missed our little guy quite a bit.
Brayden had a great time with Grandma Sue. He visited Connie, Great Grandma Jean, and some of his friends at the nursing home. He was spoiled rotten the whole time!!! He went on a few walks, went swimming, and explored Grandma’s house.

We have an exciting August planned so far! We are heading back to Ogden for Fun Days on the 1st. Jon’s 28th birthday is on the 12th and he gets to work at the state fair 9-4 on the 13th at the Social Security Booth. We will be heading to the state fair one of the days as a family. We will be heading up to Waterloo on the 21st for the Columbus dedication in Rick’s honor. We have a wedding and Jackson Murphy’s first birthday party the last weekend of the month. What a fun month ahead!
