PALISADES here we come....

Grandma Liz had so much fun at Palisades last year that she wanted to go again. So we packed up the fishing gear, life jackets, raft, golf clubs and lunch and headed on down to Palisades. Johnny, Grandpa Rob and Warren chased a little white ball around the golf course while Grandma Liz, Rhiannon, Wally and Bennett fished and played in the lake.
Bennett tried his luck at fishing. He didn't catch a fish with his fishing pole but he did have the farthest cast on the day and lost ALL of his line twice.

Wally is showing off the "Goldfish" that Grandma Liz caught. It sure is a beauty!

Bennett is showing off his catch of the day. He didn't need a fishing pole to catch this whopper.

We loved wading our feet in the water and having all the little fish nibble at our feet.

Wally was excited that he talked his mom into swimming with him. Wally, Bennett and Rhiannon jumped off the floating dock into the refreshing water below.

"I don't know why they LOVE to play in that COLD water."

"Come on Wally and Bennett lets fill up our little cooler and go out exploring in our raft."

These boys sure know how to have fun in the sun. We love fishing with our Grandma and Grandpa.

"I guess if this thing doesn't float I might as well use it for something."

We saw a lot of fish and a snake while out exploring. Wish we could have found some little frogs.

We sure hope you had as much fun at Palisades as we did. We LOVE you!!!

Has anyone seen a fat guy in a little coat? We had a "Tommy Boy" moment.

It was another successful trip to Palisades. Thanks for going with us and for making more fun memories. Hope we can have more join us next year.

What's a summer without a BEE'S game?

We always look forward to having Preston and Brian fly home for the weekend. We love spending time with them and enjoy all the laughs and memories we make when they're home. For fun this trip we ate brunch at the Porcupine. If you left the Porcupine not stuffed you must have been with the wrong crowd. We had enough food to last us a couple of days. After brunch we headed on over to Spring Mobile Ballpark to watch our Salt Lake Bees. It was an exciting baseball game with a lot of action. I believe we saw 4 home runs, 1 grand slam and watched the benches clear twice. I can't think of anything the game was lacking. We would like to thank Cody and Diane for putting together this fun filled day!
Wally was excited to go to the Bee's game because it gave him the chance to show off his new Salt Lake Bee's baseball jersey and baseball hat that he got for his 9th birthday.

Bennett was hoping he'd get a chance to play on this nice baseball field.

What's a Bee's game without BUMBLE?

We love Preston and Brian.

Wally made sure to get his eye black painted on by the Bee's cheerleader.

Warren waited patiently to catch a fly ball. When he wasn't waiting for a fly ball you could find him playing catch with his brothers Wally and Bennett.

We had so much fun with our loved ones. Thanks for taking us to the ballpark. We LOVED every minute.

2011 Averett Baseball Season

Warren played his third year with the Springville Inferno. He made some great catches in the outfield and threw strikes while on the mound. In his off time with the Inferno he played for the Mapleton Braves. He became the strike out king while playing for the Braves. Warren's team took first in the league which means the team is going to the State Playoffs.

GO BRAVES!!!

Wally played his second year with the Red Devils. This year he played with the boys his age. Wally LOVED pitching. Wally was the Closer on the team. Wally made some great plays while playing third base and in the outfield. Wally was recruited by the Mapleton Texas Rangers. They picked him up for his fast pitching and great catching skills. The Rangers took first place in the league which means they are heading to the State Tournament. GO RANGERS!!!

Bennett played for the Mapleton Pirates. He was the sharpest looking player on the field. Bennett always made sure his looked his best by wearing his red undershirt, red baseball cleats and yellow belt. Bennett showed his skills off while playing every position on the team. One highlight of the season was watching Bennett be a switch hitter. The pirates score more points than the other team at each game making them the champions.

We would like to thank ALL our devoted fans who travel all over the Utah Valley to come and support us. We love you and hope to see you next season.
