Swim Lessons

 Reese and Boston were excited to start swim lessons again with Aunt Kari. We even had a few of our favorite friends in our same swim class. Brody and Boston above.

The kids advanced so much in such a short time, especially compared to last year (when all they did was cry for the first week). Reese began learning strokes and does pretty great in the deep end. Boston overcame a lot of fear and improved a lot too.

July Fun

Enjoying the 4th of July fireworks from our backyard. It's so nice to not have to go out and fight the traffic.

We were able to meet up with some old friends of ours one day at the park. It was so nice seeing some faces we hadn't seen before and ones that we haven't seen for a long time. Brigham, Nelly, Sadie, Elsie, Ben, Lucy, Boston, Reese and Addie. We miss them and wish they could be around all the time.

We made it out camping once this summer with Grandma Debbie and Grandma Nan and Willow Flat. Reese and Brooklynn played for hours in the trailer. They built with blocks, colored and played house. It was about 1000 degrees inside the trailer I don't know how they could stand to be in there.

Splashing in the river that ran right through our campground.

Good Morning! On our last night there all the kids were able to spend the night in the trailer with the grandma's. That wasn't the original plan but Boston had a really bad fever that night and the girls didn't want to sleep out in the the tent.
