Bear Lake...finally!

I have been so excited to get up to Bear Lake and this past weekend we finally made it. It took so long for summer to come, then even longer for us to have a day off from baseball. I actually got Dalton to come (despite his hatred for Bear Lake since the whole "tick" incident) and he had a good time. Dalton brought his friend Mason and Cody and his girls were there too. Kate was so excited to go to the beach. We had a lot of fun! Just a note: Ty is not in any pics because he went to Lava with Grandma and Grandpa Wilson for a chance to go fishing with Grandpa.

I think this fourth of July was the best one yet! There are sooo many reasons! The weather was great - below 100 for the first time in recent memory! The boys are old enough I don't have to worry about them getting lost. All the kids were in the parade. Ty rode on the Weber County Fair truck, Dalton rode behind them and Kate was with her dance group. For the first time EVER, Greg lasted through all the activities including fireworks and had fun! (Most of you know he's done before the fireworks go off!) We had a great seat for the fireworks and you only have to show up five minutes before the parade starts to get your seat! Actually, our old neighbor always sets out seats for us so we're really spoiled.

Plain City seemed to have more activities this year that kept the kids interested. Only in Plain City could you come home from the festivities with a live fish caught by hand, a real life chicken caught with your hands and dripping with mud from playing mud volleyball in the middle of the horse arena! You gotta love that! I just realized I am not in any pics, but I was there! We are so lucky to have lived in Plain City and have such great friends in our community!

River Bottom Boys Baseball

Dalton's team had a fun end of year party. The coach planned a parents vs. players game (I even hit), pizza, and awards. He gave each player a new ball with a case and had each of their teammates sign it. It was really cool! They didn't have a "winning" season but I think they had a lot of fun and learned a lot!

Shock Baseball Girls

The little sisters of the Shock Baseball team have become such good friends. They are all such good sports - going to soo many games and cheering on their brothers. Recently, we got shirts and shorts for them so they would look official! They looked so cute I had to share.

Swim, Swim, Swim

Kate started swimming lessons in June with her friend Payton. They went to Miss Anne, who both Dalton and Ty have taken from. I was really nervous about Kate, you never know if she will try something or not. She surprised me! She loved swimming lessons. She would just wait all day to go! Her and Payton were lucky enough to be in a class with only one other person. They learned so much and did not want lessons to end!

love this pic....some friendly competition!

Wiffle Ball

Last month we had a wild game of Wiffle Ball at Chad's house. I love when all the cousins can play together - they have such a good time with each other! Grandpa is the designated pitcher for both teams and the little ones bat when they feel like it. Kate was mostly playing with the toys. Ty tries his best to remember it's just a game. haha
