Summer Week 2

Another week of our 3 week summer has passed already! Only one more until the kids are back in school. Here's what we did this week.


Monday: Went to the Sweet's Candy Factory Tour. I think the best part of this little excursion were these beautiful blue hairnets. The day we went not many machines were up and running. And we were trying our skills at lip reading because you couldn't hear a word our tour guide was saying. But, the kids have had fun playing play doh candy factory at home with these snazzy hairnets. I'm thinking of wearing one whenever we cook now. :)
Tuesday: Had to go to the "beach" once again. This time brought a crocodile along with all the other stuff we loaded.
Wednesday: Friends day. And mom's laundry day. Nothing too exciting to report. :)

Thursday: Park up at Snowbird Ski Resort. Love this park because what park can you go to at 12:00 in the afternoon and not get fried on the playground equipment? This one! :)
"Hiking" our way into the park.
Friday: Kennedy loves penguins so we finally decided to go to the Living Planet Aquarium to see the new exhibit. Thanks Gunns for going with us, we had a great time. And it was the best way to end a fun week. This picture looks like we have all the kids lined up in some scary warehouse, but I swear there are pictures of penguins behind them!!
Bring on the next week. ;)

Summer Week 1

Okay, so we have only 3 weeks of summer. Kind of crazy, so I try to do something fun every day including a day or two to just hang out with their friends. Here is week #1!

☀Monday: Fishing at the lake in American Fork Canyon. Luckily no fish were caught. The kids just kept catching each others fishing poles.

☮ Tuesday: Peace Gardens. The kids had fun running around the little countries. Kourtney took her American Girl doll and took pictures of her at each place so she could make a scrapbook of her dolls "trip around the world". Here we are in Norway. :)
☀ Wednesday: Swimming at the pool. They could swim all day. Best part for me? No more kiddie pool. No offense to those with little ones. But it was sure nice to just get to watch them play while I chill in the chaise lounge. :)

☀Thursday: Herriman Beach. More water, the only bad thing, after getting all our gear out, we could only stay about an hour before the thunderstorm rolled in. Still fun though.
✿ Friday: The kids wanted to feed some ducks so we tried out Gardner Village. There was one large white goose, needless to say.. didn't need to be fed. So I fed my 3 ducks instead. :) (Later we made it to the Daybreak Lake and found about 10 to feed).
Busy week, but we have some fun stuff planned for week #2.
