Summer

"Summer, summer, summer... it's like a merry go round"
{The Cars}

I've been slacking on the posts. It's summer, so why do anything that requires thinking?
Truth is, there is so much to catch up on, and I'm overwhelmed with the thought of posting about every bit of fun that we've had this month. Maybe I won't try, and instead save the pictures for the scrapbooks (which I will get caught up in about 20 years).
Why do I keep taking all these pictures?

Long story short, here's what we've been up to in July (since the 4th):
Cowabunga Bay
Lots of BBQs
Lagoon twice
The Cabin for a week
Camping
Cousins
Wednesday movie clubhouse
Family reunion
Skateboarding camp
Dance Utah
Swimming and swimming lessons
Bike riding
Starting a new job (Holly)
Sleeping-in
Relaxing
Slushies at Snowie and Sno-asis
24th of July party & fireworks
Sewing and sew camp
Playing night games in our cul-de-sac
Activity Days - Camp Jeremiah Johnson and Draper pool
Swapping girls bedrooms (because Millie wanted more room to dance)
Lots of play time with friends
LoViNG Summer

Because I'm feeling lazy tonight, I'm only posting pics from swimming lessons and Lagoon. We took lessons from Groesbeck swim school at a house in Alpine. The pool and backyard was huge and awesome! The kids all did really good and had lots of fun!








Lagoon is always way fun. Call us rednecks, but we love it! It was Stake Lagoon Day so we took advantage of the discount and spent the day. BS was working so he missed out. We didn't get season passes this year, so it was rough paying the admission rate (even w/a discount). We decided that we made a mistake in not getting them because you really only have to go twice to pay the same price. Anyway, the big kids split up from the little kids and it worked out great! Will went on Spider for his first time, Cambree went on Colossus. Besides a couple others, they all went on everything together. Quincy loves the Dragonfly swings and the new Dragon. Millie's favorite is Jet Star 2 and Sambo's is Wicked. Will's favorite is Wild Mouse. I personally still love Tilt-A-Whirl and Samurai.
It was great being with Grandma, Aunt Heidi, and the cousins. I took Sambo on the
Rock-O-Planes and we spun around upside-down 21 times :)

The following week we went back and only had to spend $10.00 because of "bounce back." Again, good times. We went on a Saturday and we were worried it would be really hot and crowded but it ended up being not bad at all. We went on all of the wet water rides to stay cool. BS got to come this time.
