Oh What do We do in the Summer Time


Well, the month of June has come and gone and honestly I don't know where it went... sure I do, it was spent trying to cram in all the fun stuff we do all summer long. I will attempt to hit the highlights of  the past little while.

Bryce Canyon
On a Saturday morning, we packed up a picnic lunch and headed out to hike around Bryce. The boys were troopers. We hiked to Inspiration Point, then hiked the Rim Trail around to Bryce Point. It was a lot of fun and a beautiful site.




Camping at Panguitch Lake

 Ky and Gpa cooking breakfast

 Landon working on archery with Uncle Justin

 Jon and his dad playing cards with the teenagers (niece and nephews)
 Our camp. We had an awesome site. As you can see we had a few tents set up. 1 for Justin and his little girl, 1 for the teenagers, 1 for gear, 1 for our boys.....
 1 truck tent for Grandma and Grandpa, and 1 truck tent for Jon and I.
 I love this messy kid

 We headed to the lake to do some fishing. Here's Gma, Gpa, and Dex just relaxing (Dex is laying right by the rear tire)
 They gave up on fishing and resorted to just throwing rocks. Kyler ,however, claims he caught this fish. The really story is the fish was probably caught by someone else but was small so they threw it back. It must have died sometime there after. Any how, Kyler casted his line and some how brought in this fish.
And last but certainly not least... here is the picture of Jon's mom drilling his thumb. Jon smashed his thumb the night before and the pressure had built so much that we had to do something. After soaking his thumb in epson salt and water for a while, and soaking the smallest drill bit we had in alcohol. His Mom ever so carefully drilled threw the nail to relieve the pressure. It worked and now he is on the mends.

Library Reading program
The boys have been participating in a summer reading program put on by the public library. They track all of the reading minutes and get prizes each week for completing them. Also every Monday the library puts on some kind of activity. We've seen a Mad Scientist that did experiments, desert animals, learned about the human body, build projects with Home Depot, and the boys favorite... 
Mike the Magician
 Mike mad Curious George appear out of a drawing.

 And here is Grandma helping Mike the Magician with a levitating table trick.

4th of July
We had a lot of fun celebrating the 4th . We started our day with a neighborhood bike parade. We finished the parade at a big park and passed out Popsicle to all the kids. Then we headed to our friends house and had a bbq and went swimming at their pool. 

 The boys all decorated their bike and scooters.



On the parade route. 
That evening we went to the concert and fireworks at the Sun Bowl with our friends.
 Here are all of the munchkins... not a great picture but they are all together
