Week of Summer Fun

The first week of summer vacation is supposed to be relaxing.  However, that is not how our summer started off.  5 people going in at least 4 different directions notice only 4 not 5.  I am the designated driver for all things summer related.

It's Summit Rock time again in St George.  This is the one time of year that everyone listens to the radio for riddles or clues to find the rock and win 5,000 or 10,000 if you buy their shirt.  Its a treasure hunt around town to find one special rock.  Ryder has begged the last two years to give it a shot.  We had a little time before swim team starts we were off too look.  

Checking all the rocks on by one.

Searching by the river.

Time for swim team and nothing yet.  I promised we would go again tonight when it is cooler.

Searching again down river.

We left hot and sweaty (Good bonding time) let's come back tomorrow.  However, someone found the rock a couple of hours later.  Ryder was disappointed that he didn't find it, but quickly reminded me there is 2 more to be found.  Bonding time is in order this next week.

Yummy hot dogs

Reganne has been hanging with friends having late nights and having fun.  I received this picture showing yummy food and fire safety.  She now wants to try doing this at home.

Rylee is spending all her free time with friends and they won't share any pictures.  She is having a great time until she goes to girls camp.  She believes will be pure torture.

Spencer & Jacy
St George Temple

We were really blessed to go to the temple with Jacy for her first time.  They are so excited to be getting married in a couple of weeks.  We are really  proud of the decisions she has made in her life so far and what a good example she is to the other kids.

Bunch of Balloons

The weather spiked with 100 degrees pushing full steam ahead.  This is what you expect in July & August but not the end of May.  Costco had these on sale and we just had to give them a try.  It worked just like the directions showed.  Tons of fun in minutes.  Ryder, Reganne, Ginger, and Dexter had a great time until they ran out.

Soaking wet

Reganne begged to try another bunch with her friends.  Everyone was soon soaked but laughing all the time.  Dave found of use for the plastic holder it was a great sprinkler for watering the plants.

I was planning for a quiet summer but that doesn't seem to be the reality.  Here's to week 2 being a little slower with the girls headed to girls camp for 3 days.
