Catching up with Summer!

This summer has been one of the most care-free, playful summers on record. I don't think my kids have any idea how good they've had it this summer. We've managed to play somewhere every single day. Today is the first day that we didn't leave the house all summer long, hence, I have to time to catch up on my blog.

We went out to the gorge with some friends and of course, had to blow up Caribbean Island. The kids loved it.
This is Teag and he BF squeezing into the coupe. The coupe was given to us several years ago and has always been a fan favorite around here. Very thankful to our friends who gave it to us.
We also spent a full week down in SLC in July. This is Presley making sure that she doesn't drown while riding the bike. We played in our cousin's circle for hours this day.
As you can see, we got very creative with our bike riding skills. For those of you who think this might be dangerous, don't judge me. I figure I used to pump people and do all kinds of crazy things on bikes and I survived. I think its good for them to experiment a little bit.
Took a break to get a picture of all three of them.
Cooling down in their pool.
Josh's mom turned 50 while we were down there so we were able to blind side her with a party. We had a delicious dinner and were able to spend some time with everyone there. It was a lot of fun.
The next morning we took the kids on a hike up to a waterfall that is really close to Josh's parents home.
This us at the top.
You can kinda see the waterfall behind us. We let the kids take off their shoes to feel how cold the water was and of course Teag tripped and got completely soaked. While we were there we saw some people canyoning down the waterfall. It looked like so much fun, but also so very cold. We had a great time in SLC.

Overall the summer has been a very active, crazy summer. Good times though. We got a break today but we are off and running to Bear Lake for the rest of the week and then onto a road trip to Missouri for 2 weeks after that. So I will enjoy today while I can because its about to get busy again. Gotta love it though!
