Summer Stuff

Photos from the last few weeks. Summer is flying by and the kids will be back in school in a month. We've had a great summer and done a lot of fun things.

It rained last month. The kids were pretty excited since it's only rained like twice since April. 

Apparently it felt good to cool off in the rain. 

Big time gutters. 

She's small enough she almost got swept away. 

We had fun celebrating July holidays. Burning cheap old Happy Meal toys with sparklers.  I'm pretty sure that's what the Founding Fathers would have wanted.  

The Hutchings came over on the 24th for dessert and fireworks. 

Sad to report that Callie went missing about 10 days ago.  Just disappeared one day.  Carson has been really sad and holds out hope that she'll find her way back.  We'll see what happens. 

                         

We went and hung out at Temple Square a couple of Sundays ago. 

Keeping this kid out of the fountains was not easy.  He flat out walked right across one on the roof of the conference center. Somehow the tour guide managed not to see it. 

That would be us.

The garden is taking off now. Veggies aplenty.

Such a cute, energetic little handful. 

Off the slide she goes. 

Elijah playing in the water out back. Also an energetic little handful. 

Carson cooling off in the sprinklers, complete with swimming mask. Also capable of being an energetic handful. Do you see the pattern here?
