All Smiles with MORE Summer FUN!


If you ask Danny where he would visit on vacation he would tell you either "Wisconsin Dells" or the "This is the Place Heritage Park". Clearly this is not the Dells. We thought this would be a fun place to visit in Salt Lake. We had no idea that we'd spend the entire day there or how much Danny would LOVE it!
 

Josh still talks about riding "Honey" the horse. I can't remember if he took 2 or 3 rides that day.
 

Jared was all ready to go with the wash. He and Danny would have washed the entire basket of rags if Ryan and I had let them. 

Forever a train boy. Danny loves his trains, and riding one is even better, even if it is just a little one.
 

Worth every penny! The kids had a blast, the ice cream was just the "frosting on the cake" for them that day.
 

Tired legs at the end of the day. Time to go home.
 

We made it back to Hyrum just in time for SUMMER SCHOOL! Yeah... The kids actually enjoyed it (mostly) and it was only 2 weeks long for a few hours a day. We decided to do summer school to help the boys become familiar with the new school they would be starting at at the end of the summer. So far, Thomas Edison Charter School seems to be a good fit.


Happy Birthday Ryan!! I surprised him with breakfast out on the back porch with yummy, yummy LEMON POPPYSEED muffins.
 

Yeah for Ryan! He is now 34... though he thought he turned 34 LAST year. Oh well!
 

Yummy...
 

We LOVE you Ryan! Happy Birthday!
 

Summer also meant lots of trips to the Hyrum Reservoir. Usually just swimming was involved, but one early morning Danny and Ryan headed off with Danny's Primary Class on his first FISHING trip!

Danny also got to attend his first DAY CAMP with the scouts!
 

Danny is all smiles on the chair lift up to the Alpine Slides with Nana. We spent a weekend with Ryan's parents in Park City before me and April headed off to BYU's Vocal Beauty Boot Camp for a week.

Ready, Set, GO! Time for Jared to head down the Alpine Slides!
 

Back at home Ryan has seriously enjoyed his time spent in the yard. Nice mowing Ryan!
 

Happy Hatch's and Hochstrassers! How fun to have our dear friends from Wisconsin, the Hatch's, come and spend an afternoon barbeque with us in Utah!

A highlight of the summer for sure; seeing my dear from Kimberly Hatch!

  1. I am glad Ryan is younger than he thinks he is. My husband runs into that every year, he thinks he is a year older, so it makes his day when I remind him his actual age:)
