Summer Snapshots

Here's some of the fun times we had this summer:

This summer we had lots of smores by our new firepit.  This time we had Brielles friends Kylie, Addie and Kenna and Emmitts friend Taeya.

This picture and the one below were from an outdoor concert I took Brielle and Emmitt too while the big kids were away.  It turned out the music was terrible but we tried to have fun anyway.

After a morning movie one day, I took the kids to Pie Five for pizza!

This is from the Discovery Centers bubble exhibit.  We were able to make bubbles big enough to fit each of the kids into.

This is from our visit to the National Video Game Museum

Heres the kids at Lake Ray Roberts.  Julie and I took the kids one hot summer day.

Most of our summer outings ended like this.

The kids earned enough tickets from our Summer Ticket Program to take a trip to Amazing Jakes.  We played video games, ate multiple times, climbed the rockwall, played laser tag and rode the go carts.

We discovered a new pool that we visited several times this summer- the Jack Carter pool.  It had a lazy river, waterslides, diving platforms and the biggest attraction of all- the flow rider.

Our friends the Thomas' came to visit us for a few days.  We went to the drive in movie to see Despicable Me 3.  It was fun but way too HOT!

More Smores!  This time with the Thomases.

Dress like a cow day is always a fun day for our family. We ate their lunch and dinner this year!  Addie joined us for lunch.

One of our super fun summer days was spent at Hawaiian Falls.  Emmitt was just barely the right height to ride ALL the rides so he had a blast.  (They actually measured him when we first got in the park and he had his shoes on- so it may not have been an accurate measurement ;)

Near the end of the summer Grandma and Grandpa were able to come for a visit to attend Sadies baptism and Bens mission farewell.  We had a lovely time swimming with them too.

Splashing around the creek at Arbor hills is always a fun time.
