Summer Fun

So it has been a while since I posted.   Here is an update of our summer so far.

Noah spent the week at the U of U basketball camp with a friend.  Since I had to drive to SLC every day, Louie and Isaac and I spent our days in SLC hanging out.

Monday:  We went to This Is The Place Park:  the boys absolutely loved it.  They panned for gold, saw the Indian dancers, rode the big train and the little town, ate mini donuts, and had so much fun.
Tuesday:  We went and saw Ice Age at the Gateway and played in the fountains afterwards.
Wednesday: We went to some tramp place that I bought a groupon for.  The boys had fun.
Thursday:  We actually stayed home this day and our friends Smith and Eliza spent the day here.

And then we were done!  I must say I am exhausted. 

The following week we just hung around home and on Friday it was the Handcart Days Parade. 
Thanks to Jen we actually had a place to sit.  It was crazy crowded this year.  Noah was part of the 2000 Stripling Warriors that were the last entry in the parade.  It was so cool to see the 2200 young men of Bountiful march in the parade and say all together "We Did Not Doubt!"  I am glad Noah got to participate and I hope he will remember the experience for a long time.
After the parade we went to the park and watched the fireworks.  It was an amazing show this year, and thanks to my friend Kae we always sit on the backside of the park and it when you lay down and look up it is like they are going to fall right on top of you.   Very cool.
Saturday they did a free swim a the rec center so I took Isaac, Luke, and the neighbors Smith and Eliza.  My thought was that the kiddies would play together and I could just sit and watch.  Stupid thought....I spent the next 2 hours with 4 kids hanging on me, wanting me to dunk them, watch them, hold them, etc.  So  much for relaxing.

This last week we didn't do much, I have to redirect and start getting ready for school.  The boys start in 3 weeks.  We shopped, much to their despair, and on Friday we went to Hollywood Connections for the day. 
Saturday Jason and I went out on a date and saw Batman, and went to dinner with friends.

That's it for now!
