Where is this summer going? I feel like it's slipping through my fingers, and I haven't blogged about much of it at all. And if I haven't blogged about it did it really happen? Hmmm, yes, I think it did.
Mostly we have been enjoying having our kids home this summer -at least some of the time- (I mean they have been home some of the time, not that we only enjoy them some of the time :) -although that might have been a subconscious slip -Just Kidding! I promise!) and we haven't have any really big adventures. Lots of sports -camps, lessons, practices, tournaments; -some church activities -scout camps, EFY; work -Ivy Lane for Scott and nannying + Ivy Lane for Camille; marathon training for Camille; and a house quite often overrunning with teenagers have filled our summer.
Here are a few pictures of some of the other things we have been up to.
Cabin trip at the end of June -Lisa, Camille and Matt
Wildflowers at the edge of the melting snow. Other highlights of our evening drives: Many, many deer, including the tiniest fawn I've ever seen, a moose and a fox.
Riding 4-wheelers
This little squirrel found a home in this birdhouse on the deck railing.
The water in the creek was so high it was running through the playhouse.
Hiking Waterfall Canyon on July 4
Matt, Grandma and Grandpa made it to the waterfall!
Scott, Camille, and Kevin
Scott decided he needed a shower
July 4 fireworks at the church parking lot.
Since arial fireworks are now legal we decided it was a little scary to light them off in front of our house right by the foothills.
Laying sod at Grandma and Grandpa's house
Our boys and some of Grandma and Grandpa's mission friends helped sod their backyard in exchange for a delicious BBQ steak dinner. Everyone thought it was a fair exchange. :)
We saved the real firework show for July 25, apparently. John and Matt glued all the fireworks to a board and connected them with a fuse so they would all go off in sequence. We took them to the church parking lot again.
It begins...I didn't get good shots, but the aerials were pretty impressive.
Pretty funny to see everyone recording the show on their phones.
It seems like wherever Scott goes a crowd follows. :)
