Summer is winding down and I am so sad that school is starting soon!  We are trying to squeeze lots of fun activities into these last few weeks of summmer!  I wish we had 3 more months of summer break. I love having the kids home from school and being on our own schedule.

We were shopping for some back to school clothes for Taylor and Lizzie saw this fur vest.  I put it on her and she knew she looked gorgeous!  She threw a huge fit when I took it off and left the store.  She's a glamour girl already!

Elizabeth spends lots of time outside playing in the hose/sprinkler.  She loves to drink like a dog from them water. 

We had a Bridal shower for Megan & Colton this week at Mono's house.  They are such a cute couple and we can't wait for their wedding coming up on August 16th!  It was fun to see all the family and hear about their "love story!!
Great party -Monica!

We went to "The Lorax" at the theater this week.  Lizzie did surprisingly well watching the movie.  She loved sitting in her own booster seat, and eating lots of snacks.  It's a good way to keep cool on a hot summer afternoon. 

Friday we went up Hobblecreek Canyon for the Shields extended Family Reunion.  It was tons of fun and so good to see aunts, uncles and cousins. 

The kids were thrilled that we would be camping, and sleeping in our tent.  Unforunately it rained all night long, but we were snug and dry in our tent. 

There was a talent show Friday night.

We went on a hike Saturday morning.  Lizzie walked more than she rode in the backpack, I guess she's growing up!

Saturday afternoon was filled with water fun; they rented a dunking booth and everyone had a blast dunking other people.  I am so happy Taylor has a waterproof cast. 

Then they divided into teams and did the Olympics.  They had different challenges and then were rewarded with a treat at the end of the games. 

I wish I had taken more pictures, but this is all I got!

Hobblecreek Canyon is a beautiful canyon, it was fun family reunion!
