Summer Time Fun

I haven't taken many pictures this summer, but we have been busy! No big summer trips, so mostly just hanging around at home. However, we've had a few fun outings. Back in June, we went to Dan Nicholas Park with my college roommate and her kids. We always have a good time there!

Of course, Charlie had to ride the giraffe!!

Train Ride!

Gem Mining

A fun day!

The boys have enjoyed playing dress up a lot this summer - in fact, for their birthday, they have asked for some more dress up clothes!

We had a big time at the splash pad!

 Lucy's friend, Jessica, is moving at the end of July, so we met up with her for a play date at the Children's museum . . . .I think this is one of our kids favorite places!!

Alex liked pretending to be a veterinarian!

Jessica doesn't care for having her picture taken, but don't let that fool you! These girls had the best time playing together!!

More dress up!

We went to the movie theater to see the new Despicable Me movie. They have recliners now and the kids LOVED them!

I took a 2 week class up in Boone this summer so the kids came up to visit. They love gem mining, so we took them to a place up there called "Doc's Rocks."

After you go through your bucket, you can sit down with them and they will tell you what everything is. I didn't think that would appeal to them, but they loved it. The boys were especially thrilled to discover that one of their rocks was fossilized poop!!

While we were up there, we walked around campus with the kids. Grammy, Great-Daddy, and aunts and uncles all went to ASU, so we showed the kids a few key places, like Grammy's old dorm!!

Of course, out of everything we saw, the kids favorite thing was the walkways underneath the road!!

Now we are finishing up swim lessons and getting ready for the boys birthday party. Then next week it's back to work for me! Hard to believe this summer is almost over!!
