Dear Summer,
I love you. You are so much fun. And so deliciously irresponsible. Keep up the good work.

Liberty Park and Tracy Aviary
What is the best way to spend a day?
Just find a nice happy place to play.
Jason and Kayla at the Aviary
The kids really wanted to go on the Ferris Wheel. They had never been on one before and it turns out (get it- turns. ha ha ) that they loved it. I really hate the Ferris Wheel so I did not join them. They gave me grief about it for the rest of the day. " I can't believe you won't go on it." "How can you not like it" "bla bla bla". I hate the way I feel helpless when I get on, I give up all control of the situation and I hate that I can't get off when I want and I have to wait for some kid to decide when my ride is done. So I guess I need therapy. Get over it. I have.
Then they wanted to try the big swings- turns out they loved that ride too. I am so excited that they are big enough and brave enough to try the rides.
They would have kept going all day, but their ever-frugal mother wouldn't buy more tickets
We met up with Kelly for lunch at a place by his work. Then we went back to the park to play in the water.
Aaron is a water baby
Look at the gut on that kid - we are making progress in the weight gain department
We had so much fun that I completely forgot that I had someone coming to the house to change the water filters. OOPs, sorry. we pretty much spent the whole day in the park and the kids are asking when we can go again. Let me know if you want to go with us!

Doughnut falls hike
With family in town, we decided to take a hike up to doughnut falls in Big Cottonwood Canyon.
My Brother, Jared, attempting to cross the stream
got a little deep
Shairylanne shows us how it's done
You can't really tell but the water disappears into the "doughnut", then comes rushing out through the rocks below
the kids are trying to keep Lani warm
Jason is all tied up in knots

my paper problem
I have a serious problem with paper. I have this stack in my kitchen that I need to sort and it just keeps growing and growing. I could not believe how many papers the kids brought home on the last day of school. I spent half an hour dumping papers in the recycle bin and the pile did not shrink at ALL. If you don't see me this summer it is because I am drowning in a pile of paper.
