This summer has been really fun and busy for us. It has also gone by way too fast! This post is about some of the fun things we have done this summer.
Summer would not be summer without friends. These three were so cute together Kristen and I had to get some pictures of them.
Our ward held a cupcake social at the park so we made these doggie cupcakes for the contest.
They turned out so cute! We even won a prize in the contest. We got the Most Original award. There were so many good cupcakes it was hard to choose. My favorite was the orange creamcicle flavored ones Ashley Randall made. They were so delicious and they looked good too. I told Ashley I needed the recipe.
Emily had another piano recital were she played a fun summer song, "Splish, Splash."
Then she really got into the musical rocking groove in this funny picture.
The Hyrum Library puts on a fun summer reading program with a lot of good activities. Here we are at the zoo activity.
The people at the Willow park zoo brought some cool animals for us to see and pet. We were able to see an owl, tortoises, and snakes. We got to pet the snake and the turtle. The kids loved seeing the animals.
Russell took the boys to scout camp with him so the girls and I had some fun together.
We had a picnic at the park and played and had a good time all day. We even caught a butterfly!
These are just some funny pictures of Charlotte and Logan from my phone.
We were testing some new features on my phone and we had a good time.
One fun thing the kids did this summer was have a sleepover with the Checketts.
This was the first time they have had a sleepover with friends and they had a great time. They wanted to sleep on the trampoline but they were too worried about the wind and mosquitoes. Then they decided the tents would be better. We pitched the tents and they camped out all night. I don't know how much sleep they got because all I heard all night was giggling. They woke up so early too because the wind started and it got cold. They had such a good time though and had a couple more sleepovers over the rest of the summer.
Summer would not be complete without water fights.
Water fights were a constant around here all summer. The kids love getting wet and having fun. Russell is definitely the best dad and always willing to spray the kids with the hose.
Finally one big thing we did this summer was get a new camp trailer. We were sad to say good bye to Terry but we do like our new trailer.
Here is our new toy hauler trailer. We really like it and there is a lot more room. Our old trailer, Terry, was a great trailer and served us well for 10 years! Then this summer just before our Nauvoo trip, the fridge started going out. It would not work at all on propane. It was going to be a lot of work and money to fix. A new fridge would cost more than the trailer was worth so we decided to just fix it so that it would work and then sell it. We looked around for a while to find a new trailer and finally found this toy hauler in Pocatello. We drove up there and looked at it and loved it. So we sold our trailer and bought this one. We are still trying to think of a name for this trailer but we really like it.
We love summer!
