We have two more days of summer, and then time to start school again. We have loved having warm weather and a husband/father who has the summer off, too. We played hard.
Events of the summer (besides our trip to Utah/Idaho/Wyoming):
Girls Camp
We sent our daughter to girls camp for the first time. By the time Carly is done, we will have sent girls to camp for 15 years in a row. Austin got assigned/volunteered to be the priesthood. They camped in Beazer on Lee Creek and went to Police Lake to play. They had a fun time.
Jill only took 3 pictures and I tried to steal some, but they wouldn't work.
Basketball Camp
Jill and Hanna went to Champs Basketball Camp in Cardston.
(The two pictures I took were blurry.)

LucyJimmer Basketball Camp
Lots of kids from Cardston decided to go to Utah to a Jimmer Basketball Camp (for history: Jimmer Fredette is an AMAZING basketball player known for his shooting who played for BYU. Now he has been drafted to play in the NBA). At first we thought they were kind of crazy, but then we decided it was a once-in-a-lifetime chance, and things worked out for Jill to get a ride down with another family going to the camp, she stayed with my sisters, and then got a ride with the Bennetts back to meet us at West Yellowstone for Waite Family Fun Days. She had tons of fun and said she learned a lot. Jimmer was really only there every other day, and some of the time he was on the sidelines texting, but she did get to learn from him a few times.
Luckily Jill's green shorts help you know which one is her.
Cardston Heritage Days

Hanna, the pioneer
Grandpa Buck fulfilled a dream by leading his team of oxen in the parade. Hanna was also in her glory to walk along poking the oxen dressed as a pioneer. Hanna loves to dress up and play pioneer.
Hanna rode a wild pony during the rodeo.
Horse Camp
Austin and Buck put on a week-long horse camp at the Agridome. There were a few kids who had never ridden a horse before, so it was a slow and take-it-easy kind of horse camp. But everyone had tons of fun. Austin is just a great teacher, no matter what he is teaching.
Stake Relief Society Hike to Waterton
The cool ladies from Leavitt Ward at Crandell Lake.(Janice Walburger, me, Dixie Bevans, Karen Bevans, Marilee Cahoon, Juddy Olsen)
Waterton Hike
It is a major accomplishment to get Buck and Austin to recreate. But we finally found a day that we could all go on a hike in Waterton. We hiked to Bertha Falls. Beautiful. Fun. Loved it.
Leavitt Ladies Horse Ride
I took Jill with me this time on our second annual Leavitt Ladies horse ride. We went to the community pasture again, but this time we rode up to Pole Haven. We were on top of the world and could see all of Mountain View and over to Leavitt. We stopped and had lunch at the little ski cabin. I rode Lena and Jill rode Cheno. Another super fun day. Little did we know that two of the ladies on our ride were going to be called to be the Primary President and the Relief Society President a couple days after our ride.
Trip to the ranch
We joined Austin on a trip to the ranch. We played with miniature donkeys and helped cook and swat flies and more flies while Austin helped Joe sort horses. We are bringing this miniature donkey home for you, Barb Salmon.

Trip to Edmonton
For our last summer fling, we went with Austin to Edmonton. While he was in conferences all day, we were tourists. The first day we went to Fort Edmonton. It is a historic center that shows Edmonton from the 1840s, 1885, 1905 and 1920. There was so much to see and learn.
We had to pay money for Carly to get led around a circle on a pony.
After a fun day, we went to have dinner with Austin's Aunt Annie and Uncle Ted. Thanks for the great burgers!
The second day we went to West Edmonton Mall, one of the biggest malls in the world. We shopped for a few minutes, and spent the rest of the day in the water park going down slides and playing in the wave pool. Austin joined us after his conference.
That concludes the Nunn Summer Report.

Thanks for the report! Looks like a great summer!
Holy cow. That is a lot of summer fun. Hanna is a very cute pioneer girl. Is Jill wearing lucky blue shorts in the second picture, or is that just a Jill look alike? You couldn't pay me enough to ride a wild pony. Are you the new RS president or the new Primary president? :) I could hear the Carpenters singing when you said you were on top of the world.
Wow, what a summer! Can't wait to see the donkey Barb gets!!! :) What would you do it summer was longer, are there enough things to do?? Great summer and so much fun being a part of it sometimes!! Really, paying money for Carly to ride? It was fun right?
I should be in the parade one of these years too. It will be on the back of a horse though. No way would I wear pioneer clothes and walk down main street.
Oh I love my donkey, and I love this post.
I love the adventurous Nunns! Thanks for sharing all the pics and info!
Good job updating. You guys start school a month later than we do. Is that a Canadian thing dictated by the weather?
