Seven Peaks

We took advantage of our Seven Peaks passes and went to the SLC Seven Peaks a few times in July.

Park

Summertime is always a great time to head to some nearby parks on a Sunday evening.


Poor Emily was walking by the drivers side when I opened the front door and it hit her right by the eye. (Aren't those freckles the cutest?)

One of our favorite things this summer was to take family bike rides over to the nearby elementary school and driving around the playground.

July

Some random things from July

Megan's big tooth is growing in from up in her gum.  Weird!



For the 24th of July we went to Camp Floyd and looked around.  It used to be an army fort.

Our 24th of July bbq  (We eat along the side of our house because it's shady and not quite so hot over there.)



Emily trying out the hand-me-down roller blades.




Our first pet--a male betta named Bubbles.  He's cute and gets excited when we go over to his bowl to "talk" to him.



Megan and her long fingernails (all natural)




Emily and Megan on the slip 'n' slide  (Tyler didn't want to do it)

Cousin Fun

My mom, Kimberly and her kids came down for a little vacation in August. We went to the MTC open house with them.

There is such an incredible feeling in the MTC--you can't help feeling it the minute you walk through the doors.

Checking out the classrooms.



Then we headed to the Seven Peaks in Provo and had a lot of fun. (Megan, Aubrey, Olivia, Tyler, Kyle and Emily)

Lunch time (Tyler, Emily, Olivia, Megan, Aubrey, Kyle and Kimberly)

Dinner time!



After a long day at the water park, we got Frosty's at Wendy's.



Thanks to my mom for making the whole day happen.  We had a great time with cousins!
