This was the first week of summer! It started off with a bang, and was full of lots of fun!
Isaac and Lizzie had swimming lessons everyday so that kept us busy. They are learning a lot and improving their swimming skills.

We joined a nearby pool for the summer, and are looking forward to spending lots of hot afternoons soaking in the pool. 

We met up with cousins and friends at a Draper pool on Tuesday. This is a really big, fun pool and we swam for hours all afternoon. After swimming we switched kids and had a cousin sleepover that night. 

Spencer and Milly came and slept at our house, Taylor and Emily went and stayed at Brett and Teresa's house.
It was a fun and the kids all loved it!

These cute girls had so much fun dressing up and parading all around the neighborhood in their gowns and tiaras. They live in a princess filled imaginary land and it was cute to see them play. 

The older kids went to a cool new bike trail with Teresa, while we walked up to the store to get snow cones. 

Then we went on a hike in the Glen; played in the stream and threw rocks etc... 

These two boys were in heaven playing at the Glen, it was perfect place to dig in the dirt and get wet in the stream. 

The rest of the week we spent  good amount of time at the pool. Lizzie mastered the diving board and went off about 25 - 30 times in one afternoon! She loved it! Isaac, Emily and Taylor had fun on the high dive and wanted me to film them going off the board in slow motion on my phone.

Swimming is the best way to spend a hot afternoon. Everyone loves it, and comes home really tired after! 

We're really missing Colton, Megan & jack, luckily they send me a lot of photos of him so I can see his cute little face!
Taylor went biking with some friends.

Saturday after chores, etc.. we headed up Millcreek Canyon to cool off and have fun.
We went up early and fished, played games and went for a little hike. 

We roasted hot dogs, and smores over the fire and enjoyed every bite! 

Summer is the best!
