Summer was fantastic. Tiring but great. We love going to Liberty Park and playing in the water. I tried to bike ride once or twice a week with different ladies. I gathered a crew of ladies in my neighborhood who wanted to bike. Most of them had never really biked before. We have a great time now! We still tried to do lots of important things along with all our playing things. Tyler practiced his piano a lot. He preformed in his yearly recital. Fantastic job. He played two songs, both memorized. He also won the award for practicing the most of all Sister Wilkinson's students. Ella kept working on her piano and especially her Spanish all summer.
We did have a few melt downs here and there. Sleep wasn't always the most important thing. Darren work got a new ice-cream machine. We had to go in a few times to help him eat the icecream. 50 cents a cup with toppings is pretty awesome. We love our neighbors. They are so good to us. Abby goes to bed almost every night asking "Can we play with Journey and Jagar tomorrow?"
We did have a fun camping trip with the 10 and 11 year old scouts. Families were invited. We camped at Hope Campground in Provo. Most scouts dont go to bed at 9:00 when my kids are done! But when my kids were up at 6:30... I think they wished they had gone to bed earlier. We hiked to Stewart Falls the next day. The Larabees joined us. Our husbands were off biking.
Abby has started her fashion statements. She tells me she "looks so cute" and "I'm so adorable"....
We gave Tyler a haircut mid summer. We forgot about sunscreen on his ears after the hair cut. He had blisters all over his ears from the sudden sun exposure. I also had to take my 10 year old boys on a hike. That was an experience. I learned that many kids aren't able to do outdoor things. Even if they are big kids they may have not been exposed to hiking and therefore it might take 2 hours to go 1 mile.
