Summer 2011

This summer we had some fun. here and there.  No big family vacation this year because Jeff didn't have vacation time., but we were able to squeeze in good times here and there.

The kids wanted to go to the Provo Freedom Festival Parade.  They thought it would be more fun then it was.  They were used to the Syracuse city parade where they throw candy.  They do not do that in Provo.  The kids were a little bummed and we left early.  Brock was so bored and frustrated he didn't want to pose for any 4th of July pictures (Ethan didn't even come - is that what having teenagers is like?).

At Harmons they do a family work party at Lagoon.  We were so excited to have some real family time with all of us.  They had free face painting, popcorn, brownies, drinks, watermelon, chips and cotton candy.  They even had a store drawing and Jeff won a flat screen TV.  We were joking about how fun that would be but didn't think we really had a chance.  After a while of waiting through the raffle I decided to take the girls to a nearby ride.  A little while later I see Jeff and Brock carrying this huge box coming toward us.  We were shocked and so excited..  It was kinda fun walking out with it and having people ask where we got it and what company Jeff worked for (now we just need a house to put it in).

Tour of Utah.  Jeff enjoys biking.  He loves to bike and to watch.  This year he took us to the Tour of Utah.  I thought it would be boring and that I would maybe escape and go shopping, but we had a blast.  The atmosphere was electric.  We all had a really good time and got to see some biking celebrities.

And of course there was plenty of swimming, sprinklers ,popsicles,  cousins, and friends.
