LIttle Summer Adventures

 I beat myself up sometimes cause I dont think we do anything fun with the kids especially when I'm major preggers but while scrolling through my pictures I do find some random fun things we've done this summer so this is just to document my super mom fun-ness!

One Sunday afternoon we went around outside the Golf Course and collected golf balls.  We do this every so often but this day we hit the jackpot!  Its like an easter egg hunt for the kids but you can do it almost any time of the year!  We send the kids out searching among tall weeds and bushes outside the hitting range.  We ended up finding close to 35 golf balls!  Crazy eh?  The kids loved it! Only thing that could have made our impromptu game more fun was to wear pants and no sandals among the prickly weeds.

We usually are here WAY more during the summer, but at least we made it once before school starts.  Here is Jaq and her peach at the Lake on the Hill.

Of course we usually are there with our good friends Madi and Wyatt (Trey and Melissa) and this year was no different!  We love having them during the summer to go to the lake, the Library and Maggie Moo dollar cone runs.  Unfortunately this summer has been extremely busy for both of us that this was the first time we made it out to the Lake together.

The kids, trying to practice their floating that they learned from their first year of Swimming lessons at Mandy El'haltas pool.  Madi is probably the only one ACTUALLY floating but I love that Jaq laying on the bottom of the 3 inch lake is so proud of her "floating".....and the grimmace on her face the whole time is priceless.

The reason I take include this picture is to remember the summer of the pink skirt.  Jaquelle  LOVES this little skirt, and yes its cute but she wears it probably 3-4 times a week (usually when I cant catch it and wash it before she digs it out of the laundry).  Matter of fact she has changed once again today as I write this back into the pink skirt.  I guess it could be worse, but seriously sometimes I'll look at it and have to literally pry it off her to wash it cause its so gross.  I haven't seen the girl in a pair of pants in 4 months. 

Saw this one day on the way home.  I was naive enough to think this was some sort of super cloud, but turns out it was one of the many fires here in Utah that summer.  Still pretty cool.  Looks like a huge explosion!

This just melted my heart and I totally want to keep this forever!  Seth drew/wrote it for me one day.  "You are Beautiful." I love how he tried to sound that out!  Smart kid!

Jaq at Arctic Circle.  (notice the pink skirt once again).  I think this place is disgusting, but the kids love to come here with their dad and get a cheap cone cause its the last restaurant from Cedar to Enoch.

BOWLING!!! The kids have been begging us to go bowling every time we pass by the bowling alley which is every day we go into Cedar.  So we finally did one night for family night.  I don't get the hype of bowling and it goes really quick.  And for two OCD germ-a-phobic parents this place was like a nightmare.  J/K  we're not that bad, but I don't think I've ever said "don't touch that." or "keep your hands off of your face" so many times. :)

I think these ramps actually made my kids scores worse.  They were so crooked.  But then they probably could'nt lift the balls on their own so they were necessary.

Seth loved the cool shoes.

A victory jump.
