We have been going non stop like I am sure everyone else has. Two trips down and maybe one more to go we hope!! We spent some time in June at Fish Lake with the Burns Bunch and had a fabulous time. We went on a couple of geo-cashes, and went on a hike and found a tree fort that someone has built. The kids loved fishing. They all caught one and Christian and Hayden's were definitely the biggest. Hayden enjoyed touching the eyeballs and really making his hands smell great! Kim was a great guitarist and we all tried to sing along the best we could. We roasted all kinds of marshmallows and just enjoyed being in the great outdoors with our family.

We were at Bear Lake with the Timothy clan in July. We got our fill of sun, sand and surf (aka water ski). The kids loved skiing behind the wave-runner and would have pitched a tent on the beach and spent the whole six days there. We all got eaten alive by mosquitoes this year but enjoyed the late night card playing after the kids hit the sack. Summer always goes by too fast but we sure have fun making the memories!

Coloradan at heart!

Levi had an great opportunity to pick a state and do a report and make a float. He chose Colorado and insists that he is a Coloradan. Conversation with Levi, "Mom, I was born in Colorado so I am a Coloradan." I say, "Levi, yes you were born there but you only lived 10 months of your life there." Levi says,"That's o.k. mom 10 months works." No arguing with that right? Anyway, he did a great job on his float with some minor (ha ha) help from dad and mom. They had a Young American Award that he earned by memorizing lots of info about the country and they had a parade of State floats and then a program to honor all the kids. We officially had our first day of summer with all kids out of school today. Yeah summer! We hope it gets warm!
