Summer Fun

We have had a busy summer. It has been so much fun spending a lot of family time together. Here is a quick re-cap of some of the fun things we've been doing:

Going to the Open House for the Oquirrh Temple

I went once with my brother, sis-in-law, nephew, and my mom
Then I got to go AGAIN with Jon's brother, sis-in-law, and 2 aunts.

We were volunteers for the Freedom Festival Parade

Hiking to Timpanogos Caves

Inside Timpanogos Caves

Lots of Fishing!

Jon surprised me and bought me a fishing license so I can do more than just watch!

Swim lessons!

Alex and Caleb both did 2 sessions of swim lessons this summer.
Leah starts her swim lessons on Monday.
She's really excited.

Swimming at the Veteran's Pool

Camping at the Cabin and
Building a Playhouse There.

The roof is now on and the tin siding has been put up on 2 sides of the playhouse
One more weekend of work will finish it off.

Jon bought a boat for $200!
It's taken a LOT more than that to try to get the thing running.
It will be ready for water SOON!

Springville Art City Days Carnival
Caleb talked me into going on the zipper with him.
I hadn't been on that ride for more than 15 years!
I think I'm good for another 15!
(my cell phone also flew right out of my pocket during the ride...oops)

Caleb, Alex, and Leah are on the far left of this picture.
Their faces were so fun to watch,
Although it was funner to watch the people NOT paying attention
walk right through a pile of PUKE on the ground in front of this ride.
Oh, the joys of carnivals!
