Extra Pictures & Activities

Brayden attended High Adventure with the Young Men this summer. They camped a few nights and did some hiking. These first two pictures were shared with us after they got back.

His packing process was in every room and even when he returned his stuff was everywhere and smelled like camping, sweat and boys.

 Mom got up from her desk and left her phone unsupervised.

 Went and saw the new exhibit at the Museum.

 Training him now for his permit coming soon.

 Relics at parks are always fun to play on.

 The sink was in the way for her to get extra close to the mirror so why not get in it.

 Tautphaus Park Fun Land. The octopus was the hit this year.

 We attended some baseball games.

 The Chukars went on to win the Pioneer League Championship this year.

 One of our neighbors has a bunch of sunflowers and they were in full bloom a few weeks back so I took some pictures.

 One of my favorite activities for the summer is floating the river in Island Park. The float is peaceful, fun, and relaxing. This year we invited a few families to go up with us.

 The Hawkes Family came with us. The boys spent more time outside their canoe than in their canoe.

 We also took the Higginbotham Family. Their daughter is Kaytlin's best friend.

 These two boys happened to tip (swamp) their canoe and had to go fishing for their shoes. Good thing for helpers on the river. I wasn't the least bit surprised...us girls manage to stay dry each trip.

 These two were inseperable! This was Izzy's first time on a kayak and she did amazingly well.

 It must have been exhausting though because the kids all fell asleep on the way back home.

At a craft show Josh, Kaytlin and Alayna had the opportunity to go up in a hot air balloon. That was neat for them to do.

 Kaytlin had a lot of fun just being Kaytlin...the more adventurous the better.

She was also being dunked in the dunk tank to help keep cool.

We have so much fun in the summer. My only wish was that summer was a bit longer so we could play more.
