60 days of summer left....

Another week down, time is running out on our summer vacation the days seem to be going too fast but we do have them packed full of fun adventures this week included....

Dinner and Swim party

All month long it has been hot and not much rain so of course the day we plan to go swimming it pours...all day long. We still went over for dinner and as always the Bradley family did not disappoint with the fabulous dishes that were available. We played games and chatted and a few of the kids decided that they wanted brave the 60 degree temperature and jump in the pool too. 

Abby is adored by her older cousins, they even fed her
some ice cream. What a lucky girl to have such a great
family who loves her. 

Park Days

This week Park days was a blast. Eve and James took off with friends and went to play in the wooded area, we saw glimpses of them every now and then. Matt and his buds found so many things to keep them entertained including "Snail Rock" where they named the snails and challenged the older boys who kept killing the occupants of snail rock. 

Taking a break from protecting snails to watch a duck and her ducklings

Games with Aunt Kate and Uncle Aaron

We love it when Aunt Kate and Uncle Aaron come to visit, the kids count down the days to their visits every time. We got to spend a few evenings playing board games with them and just enjoying their company. 

Matt LOVES Uncle Aaron, he'd probably move in with them if he could. 

Scout Camp

James got to head up to scout camp on Wednesday and Thursday. He got to shoot sling shots and bow and arrows. There was hiking and obstacles courses, he got to paint a rock and  get down and get dirty ...oh and he got to  buy a pocket knife too.  Natalie was lucky enough to join him for half a day and go on the hike and learn all about rocks. 

Don't let the look fool you, that is the look he gives anyone
taking his picture anymore. 

Get Air

While Laine jetted off to a Youth Temple Trip in St. George and Payson the other kids got to go to the trampoline park. We got super lucky that they forgot to call our wrist band color...so the kids got some good jumping time in and mom got some good reading time in. Abby obliged dad by taking a nap the entire time we were gone, good day all around. 

Eve is such a great sister, she spent the whole time playing with Matt
and having a good time with him. 

James tried a new way to get past the tight rope. 

Waffle Love

It had been a while since we had visited Waffle Love but we made up for it this weekend. Date night on Friday and a return on Saturday for breakfast. Oh Waffle Love why must you be so tasty and wonderful. 

Abby enjoys her grilled cheese waffle....she also really loved the
tomato soup that came with it. 

Digging into the waffles and gravy and waffle breakfast sandwich! 

Father's Day

Besides the zombie garden gnome that has joined our garden Christian also got an electric smoker and made us some delicious burgers. We are so lucky to have him as our dad, Matt even shaved his head this week so he can have a dad hair cut. I love the moments that he takes to work with the kids and teach them something.

Matt helps dad add wood chips to the smoker.
