Busy summer so far.....

We have had such a busy summer so far! Last week Pleasant Grove had Strawberry Days. Our kids enjoyed the parade, strawberries and cream, and the carnival. (They talked us into that one.)

I took the girls to Huck Finn Day with my sister and the kids enjoyed the games, face painting and the bounce house slide.

We also took the kids to a free day at the Pioneer Village where they enjoyed the mini train, free icecream, activities and the baby animals.

Claire learned how to climb out of her crib this month so now she is our little book worm. She loves to sleep with her books.

Luke's DC Class Trip

Luke went on a ten day tour back east. He went with some of the kids from his school who are going into eighth grade. He had so much fun! He was able to go to Washington DC, Willamsburg, VA, Jamestown, Fort McHenry, and other great places. We missed him so much and we are really glad he is back! We are also impressed that he took pictures. These are just a few from his trip. Enjoy!

Praying Mantis

They're here! They have finally hatched. At first we were all excited when we found the cocoons because we thought they were butterfly cocoons. We went on line and discovered that they were praying mantis. We were a little disappointed but it was worth the wait because there are a lot of them. The girls thought we could keep them as pets but we thought they would be better in our yard. It will be fun to see them a little bigger. (If you like bugs)

We had a fun Memorial Day with family. We started out in the morning hiking to Stewart Falls with my brother, sister and their families. This has been a tradition for our family for many years! After our hike we enjoyed a BBQ with the Lytle family. We couldn't have asked for better weather! It was a perfect day!
