Proud to Be An American

We had a fun fourth of July getting together with friends and eating lots of good food.

Watching fireworks was out of the question however, as the girls were wiped out by 8:30 and soooo ready for bed.

A Day at the Beach

Here are a few shots taken last Friday, the 27th, at the beach.

Keira taking a swig to wash down all the sand she's ingested.
Kalei holding Keira who is eating her multi-grain "sand"wich. She just kept eating anything even though it had landed in the sand. I guess she doesn't mind the crunch.
Keira and Allyse in their favorite beach past time...taste testing rocks.

"Don't touch that brown one...it's alive."
"This one isn't too bad."
"This one is a bit too salty."

Pleasantly Surprised

I thought our days of going to the park were over for the summer because of the heat. However, this morning I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a beautiful day. At just after 10:00 a.m. it was about 75 degrees. A few days ago at the same time it was 97...and climbing. There was a nice breeze and even at noon when we were packing up to leave it was nice. It was just Rebecca and I at the park, but hopefully everyone else was able to enjoy the day too. Here are some pictures of Allyse, Tommy and Isaac (see Keira in the post below). This tree is one the biggest attractions at the Oak Springs Canyon Park. It is great for all our budding climbers and offers nice shade for all the moms.
