Summer Fun

We like to get out and see some of the museums around town in the summer. I took the kids to Littleton Museum which has some old barns and animals to see. They LOVE the children's museum in Denver and we stayed there all day...I was exhausted.

Shopping

Making pizza - Ben's favorite

Rebecca looks like she could take a nap :-)

I think their favorite part was making and shooting off their own rockets.

Playing with cousins

This was our last day in Utah. Jillian and Sofia slept over the night before so here they all are helping Hillary wash her car.

Dress-ups

Salt Lake Temple

After the zoo we headed over to Temple Square to look around and visit my Dad who was working that day.

It was windy outside

We showed the kids Issac's picture it's the Salt Lake temple at the top.

Issac is my cousin Sarah Leavitts son.

Salt Lake Hogle Zoo

We went to the zoo with Hillary, Laryssa and her girls Jillian and Sofia. The kids had a fun time riding the train and carousel and they all loved the bird show. We were all worn out after a busy day.

Payson Utah- Leavitt's house

It was so fun to see my Aunt Susan, Uncle Grant and my cousins in Payson. I figured that I hadn't seen them for 4 years! The kids had a great time in their backyard. We roasted hot dogs and had some yummy food. We also roasted marshmallows and made smores. It was a great time.Katelyn and Cianna blowing bubbles

I got the kids bathed and they enjoyed watching movies

Utah - Brett and Randi's house

We went over to Brett and Randi's house and the kids played with their cousin Oakley. We had lunch with them and went to the park.

Utah - Splash park in Highland

Nate went on a high adventure trip with the scouts so I took the kids on a road to trip to see family in Utah. I was not sure what to expect but the kids did great in the car. We got there Monday night and on Tuesday we met up with Steve, Debbie and their kids at this fun park in Highland.

Storytime at the Castle

Today the library had a special storytime at the Cherokee Ranch and Castle. The kids had been looking forward to this for awhile.They got all dressed up and listened to fairytales and sang songs. They had a fun time. Afterwards they picked their own drink at Sonic and we went to see Dad at work.

Springtime fun

Yesterday Becca finally caught a baby bunny. We have 4 babies living under our deck and she has been trying to catch one for a couple weeks now. I say Becca caught it but really it was Dad. Rebecca, Katelyn and Ben were all very excited about this.

We went to the fountains at Westlands park today. The kids had a great time playing in the water, having a picnic and sunbathing.
