{Raging Waters}

We had a fab summer spent at Raging Waters...aka...Seven Peaks Salt Lake. Yes I got my prego butt into a swimsuit for the sake of my children. It really was worth it though. My friends and the boys' friends were participants in the fun also. We even got some fun nights in with Dad also. Due to my "condition" I couldn't take the boys on any of the slides. So when Dad came, they were able to let loose and hit the slides.

Isaac thought he wanted to go on the sled slide. He got to the top, looked down, and changed his mind.


By 7:30, Alex was about done. He layed down on the cement and wouldn't move.

The final melt down.

{The Alpine Slide}

In absence of our yearly August vacation, we spent a night up in Park City with the kids. We realized that they had never been on the Alpine Slide. Unfortunately I wasn't able to ride due to my "condition". I was kinda bummed because I love the Alpine Slide. Aunt Megan, Aunt Harmony, Hannah and Milo met up with us. The kids really had a blast.

{July 24th}

July 24th was so fun around here. We had all the cousins on Trav's side in town, some from Nevada and some from Oklahoma. They were all rooming at Mimaw and Grumpy's house. We had a week full of fun activities that I neglected to take pictures at. These days I am a bit slow and my kids will have to forgive me for lack of documentation during this pregnancy. On Sun. the 24th we opted to go up the canyon for a little campfire. What is better that hobo dinner, smores, dirt, water and fire!

Isaac is so excited for his sister to arrive. He is so good with little kids and just wanted to hold Vivien the whole time. He finally realized a two year old doesn't want to be held and settle for sharing a chair with her.

Alex sneaking chips...caught!

These two 3 year olds were pure trouble together. Milo and Alex were inseparable and always into something.






That night, we had the annual fireworks. This year areal fireworks were legal in Utah. We had some very happy men around here. Uncle Jeff and Grumpy went as far as nailing them to a board.
If you didn't get the memo, orange was the color of the day.
Doing the best they can to keep their grubby hands off the goods.



We usually venture down to the Days of 47 parade. I had already opted out, and other soon followed. We settled for the Butlerville Days parade. One bonus was the kids got tons of candy.
Not quite sure what they were waiting for....
Bring on the water!
