I took the kids hiking this week at Alta. Albion Basin is so gorgeous this time of year and full of wonderful wildflowers. We had fun hiking to Cecret Lake, enjoying a picnic, playing near the lake and being outside in the cool, refreshing air. 

The kids have fun making creations out of magnets, and I judge them to see who's best.
One day this week Taylor got contacts at the eye Dr., then he went to the Orthodontist and found out he'll have his braces off in 3 weeks, and then we went to East High School to register him for his 9th Grade year!  It was a memorable day full of lots of exciting times! He's nervous to start high school, but excited too!

Emily, Lizzie, Isaac and kate had a Lemonade stand , they earned almost $30 and had a blast sitting outside for a few hours selling lemonade to neighbors. 

More pics from our hike, the weather was perfect for hiking and nice and cool!
Our favorite part was hiking where we ski! It was SO cool to see all the areas where we ski at Alta and see how it looks with no snow! It's a gorgeous area, and so fun to explore. 

We went to the Nickel Arcade one day, for an afternoon of fun.
Also I hosted Lizzie's baking class at our house. We made and decorated cup cakes and the girls loved it! We are trying to squeeze in all the fun we can have before school starts next week. 

We had a sad moment burying Gidget and Tank in the backyard. We have lost 2 pets this year and it makes us all sad. 

Taylor & Bear! He's such a cute dog!
