The Happenings of Summer {Picture Overload}

I always stress over the upcoming Summer wondering what am I going to do to entertain the kids on the long Summer days. Summer hits and we are bombarded with fun and entertainment to the point that we are wiped out from staying up until 11 p.m. almost nightly. We have had so much fun so far...

Here are some pics of all the going ons (some events are missing pics)

We attended the annual slip-n-slide at Patrice's House. She buys $200 of plastic turns on a couple hoses and it is endless hysterical entertainment for all. Her hill is perfect for this, we sled in the winter too!

"No Fear Nellie" loved it
Rileigh on the Turtle

We then attended the Annual Cousin Reunion. The venue always changes, this year we went to Nephi Canyon. Camping with grass and a swimming pool are the extra bonus if you ask me.

Tony decided he would be the manicurist and painted all the little girls nails, so patriotic! Rileigh got a combo of too much sun and chlorine, don't ya think?

Nellie getting a drop of a drink (My favorite photo, luv it!!!)
Playing Bocce Ball. Cousin Carsyn brought glow-in-the-dark Bocce Balls for night time Bocce. Super cool and we were the cool kids in camp! Nice one Rich and Dad.

A quick getaway for a Mtn. Bike Ride for Mom and Dad, love riding with this guy!
A Day at Lagoon for the Whitemyer's. Logan was just tall enough to ride everything when last year he could not. Pays to eat your veggies son!
Rileigh would not ride near as much as she dared to last year. She hung with the Nellsters!

Grandma Thatcher took us all down to Thanksgiving Point. We saw the 3D Dinosaur IMAX Movie, it was hilarious having Nellie and Kayci on my lap during the scary parts!

It was Thanksgiving Points Birthday with a Pirate Theme so there was a lot of fun to be had by all.

Logan had to wait in line for the Boy Artist
We made hats, boats, telescopes and went on a scavenger hunt!
Another Mom and Dad getaway to see Uncle Matt play in local Ogden, UT at a Coffee Bar. He did fabulous, I love to just sit and watch him play.
A pretty tough hike for the kids up Adams Canyon, they did awesome and it was well worth the hike to the beautiful falls. I grew up hiking this canyon so it was so fun to take my kids to the very top. Rich carried Nellie the whole way, such a trooper.

The Ogden Horse Parade in Downtown Ogden, kids love the candy!
A Swim Day at Grandma Darlene's with the cousins
A neighborhood walk here and there

Rileigh was invited to freshen up on her mad sewing skills. She made capri jammy pants. So from the beggings of Logan I sat and taught him to make a pair for himself. He was one proud boy.



We BBQ'd at Grandma and Grandpa Whitemyer's over the 24th of July weekend. Rich and his Dad had a brisket cook off. My parents got invited for the show down. It was so fun to sit by the river, lounge on their deck and eat good food and chat.

We have had a great summer so far and look forward to a few more planned events before the teachers start cracking the whip on these out of control kids!
