Summer Lovin'

With one month of summer already down (depressed sigh), we are really trying to cram in a lot of fun stuff. This last weekend, we went to Vernal to see Jake, Hannah, and their girls. They just moved into a new home, and we wanted to check it out and spend some quality time together before baby number three arrives. If you are looking for a great place to go, Hannah's house would be a perfect option. I feel pretty bad about it, but she spent most of our time together fixing us yummy food. The peach pie was DELICIOUS! Thanks a bunch! On Saturday we ventured to the Flaming Gorge area. It was fun to be out in nature together. Jake and Hannah were in the Dam Gift Shop with all our girls and their own. People were quite surprised to see them with so many children...all of them cute girls. They were quick to correct them that they were not all theirs. We got a good laugh at what they might have been thinking seeing them with six girls and Hannah being pregnant too. Ha ha. Maybe someday Jake and Hannah, maybe someday.




Enjoying our tinfoil dinners, corn bread, and watermelon supper in the campground. I love this kind of stuff. Summer is the absolute best!

Despite the look on Claire's face, can we just say that she REALLY enjoyed the watermelon?

Here are some fun pictures outside Flaming Gorge Dam and a couple at the base of the dam where they let you feed the fish. Good times. And the higher-ups at the Flaming Gorge Dam should be very pleased with at least one of their tour guides. She took her position VERY seriously and knew pretty much EVERY detail one could ever know about the building and functioning of a dam.





We got to have a cousin party in the backyard last week. The kids had a great time on the tramp and in the pool. Each of them took turns being the swim instructor. Pretty sure they learned some new, mad swimming skills.





Mallory turned 5 this month. Here she is with her slightly ghetto cake. She wanted a flamingo party with flamingo cupcakes, but changed her mind the day of her birthday and wanted a flamingo cake. The kids took on the decor of this cake and enjoyed eating it as well. I cannot believe she is going to school in the fall. Time is going by so quickly.
