The Family Camp-Out!
Cory and I at Mesa Falls
All of the grandkids/great-grandkids who were able to come.
Silly girls who were in seventh heaven with so many older girls to hang out with.
Damon and I enjoying the sun, as we hiked back to our cars it started to pour and we didn't' see the sun again until the day we left. It was a pretty cold, wet camping trip.
After many people left we took a four wheel
er ride to see the fish, and we got to see a mama moose and her baby too.
The Blue Angels!
We attended an airshow in Idaho Falls where the Blue Angels flew. We enjoyed seeing them practice over the course of the week but actually being there was so much better. The kids really enjoyed it except for when they would fly right overhead and the ground would shake. Garrett got a little scared.

We went with some friends to Ammon day, where the kids enjoyed free food, free bounce house jumping, and face painting.

After all the kids stuff we enjoyed a free dinner and then watched the Polynesian dancers.
Swimming Lessons!
Addy got to be in a class with her little friend and they had lots of fun. By the end she was able to float on her back and do a little swimming by herself. Althought we were lucky she continued when a couple of days in she got a little to far from the wall and was in a place she couldn't touch. The teacher was working with someone else and not paying much attention, and the life guard was zoned out as she looked at Addy bobbing in the water a couple of times. They have an observation area above the pool where parents can watch but they don't really like them right at the pool side. So I am up there watching the girls and entertaining Garrett when my friend turns to me and says, "Addy's drowning!" We were screaming and pounding on the window but no one at the pool could hear us, so I took off running to get her. As I passed the front desk I said, "My daughter is drowning." By the time I got to her one of the little girls had pulled her back to the wall, but she was a little shaken up as was I. We had lots of attention at this point from everyone at the pool. I was able to calm her down and she was very brave and even got back in the water doing awesome the rest of the time.
Hannah did excellent as well, and by the end of the class was able to swim the width of the pool by herself, but of course she has always been a little fish.

Utah Trip!
We met Von and Karen in Utah for an extened weekend to enjoy some summer activities with Mandy and Jamie.
We hiked bridal veil falls and spent a little time with our feet in the water. It was pretty warm outside but the water was freezing.
We went to the Bean museum at BYU and looked at all the dead animals. The kids also were able to see a live turtle and pet it. Garrett loved all the animals.
Jamie took us boating one afternoon and we had a blast. The girls each got a turn driving, the tubed, we swam, daddy wake-boarded and mommy sunk the tube (w/ Addy - for the record this is the third time she has 'drowned').
We spent one day a seven peaks water park, which by far exceeded all of our expectations!
Mandy and Hannah in the lazy river.
Garrett and mom going down the kid slide, he LOVED it!

Enchanted Forest!
The day before leaving Oregon we went to this fun park, that is all about fairy tales. The kids were so intrigued and had so much fun. The girls even got a chance to ride there very first roller coaster and Garrett loved the little kid rides he even got to ride the bumper boats by himself.
Grandpa made going down the slide so much more exciting.
The kids enjoyed exploring all of the little tunnels and houses to see what they would find.
