Summer Fun

I am really having a great summer full of fun. Yesterday we floated the river in Leamington, Utah (population 217). I have been on a field trip each week since school has been out with my friends and family. We have gone on 3 hikes in the past month, floated a river, went to a museum, and to the matinee movie each week. It gets the Mom's out and the kids doing something fun with other kids. The ages range from less then a year old to 19.

I just love it when I see a 15 or 16 year old helping a 4 year old and they are not even related. All the older kids pitch in and help the mom's with younger children. It makes you feel like something is good in this world still and we are raising our kids to know that helping and giving service is a great thing.

Our first Field Trip a hike to Battle Creek Falls

Our next field trip to the Space Center in Pleasant Grove. You get to run the whole space ship like in the show star trek. Aliens came on board shot us all. Nic saved us all and we were able to get the space craft back.

Next we went the "This is the Place Heritage Park. A live museum. Meaning that the people that work there run the whole town of salt lake in the year 1865. It is awesome. You really need to go check it out if you have never been.

We even did a over night field trip with all the kids. To the Manti Pageant and slept over at a cabin of one of our lovely ward members. Thanks so much Anne and Larry for letting us use your cabin for the night. You are awesome people.

We hiked to Upper Silver Lake on Monday night for a FHE. Awesome. The hike is long and up hill but the lake is well worth it once you get up there. The beauty of nature is amazing at the lake.

And...............Yesterday we floated the Siever River in Leamington Utah. It was cute to see all the city folks go to this small town. The river is lazy and it was perfect for the little kids. I personally had a blast. I love the water! A townsmen put a rope across the river and rock steps to get out. He also made a walk way with a gate and has solar lights on the path. Small town people can be so thoughtful. I really appreciate that his fellow took the time to do this. It makes floating the river so much better.

And finally...........This is the Sticky Shoe that we go see our weekly movie at. It is cheap, sticky and fun. As you can see we are having a fun summer.
