Pioneer Day Weekend

Andrew played against his friend, Andrew Alva. They were looking forward to this game the whole summer. They sure have a lot of fun. After the game, they met up with their sisters who were playing at the playground in the sand. The only way we could get any of the kids to leave, was to tell them we would see them later on that evening at a Stake BBQ and swim party.

The Las Flores pool was reserved for our Stake for a pioneer BBQ and swim party. We had tons of food, including snow cones and cotton candy! Kaitlyn went off the high dive and Ella went off the lower diving board!

Hogle Zoo

Nessa and Dirk were generous enough to treat us to a day at the Hogle Zoo. I had never been there before. The kids had fun seeing all the animals. It was a pretty hot day, so the dinosaur that sprayed out water was a big hit!

Union Square Pool

We went swimming at our old apartment complex in Provo, Union Square. Dirk has a cousin that lives there and was nice enough to let us come over and swim. The kids sure get hours of entertainment out of a swimming pool! Who would have thought after almost 13 years of marriage, I would be taking my three kiddos to swim, last time I was there Kaitlyn was under one year old!

Mike's Bday BBQ

We went over to the Anderton's house for a BBQ for Mike's birthday. It was fun for all the cousins to play. They had a blast being outside and enjoying the nice weather! Good times.

Hiking the Y

Early one morning Vanessa took the girls on a hike up to the Y. They actually made it to the top! I stayed home and kept an eye on Temperance while she napped and Andrew was in heaven playing a star wars Lego video game.

Splash Pad and Movie Night

One of the things the kids did in Utah was go look at some animals on a farm in Springville on their way to a new splash pad in Spanish Fork. The kids had a lot of fun in the water! It was a nice day to get wet. I don't have too many pictures because I had to leave to meet with our accountant, but Vanessa stayed so they could play a bit longer on the playground.Later that evening, we went to see Rio at the Dollar theater in Provo. It was in 3-D so we all got to wear really cool glasses. Andrew sure was silly in the pictures. Joryn met us there and joined us for the movie too.

Veyo, Utah

The kids and I made a trip out to Utah. On the way there and the way back, we spent the night in Veyo with Megan and Dexter and then on the way back with Staci and Daniel. Dakota was so nice to let the kids shoot his BB gun. All the cousins played well together. It has been awhile since they have been together.
