The day before school started, I took the kids to Provo Beach Resort for a summer finale party. Ginger was bummed she could do the ropes course (she accidently wore sandals), so I took the three to buy an ice cream while Jaxon and Violet had fun looking down on everyone.
We've enjoyed playing at Mamie's every week with cousins. It's always a fun highlight of our summers. Violet and Laykin are mailing letters to each other every week now. Like in the "olden days". Violet checks the mailbox every day after we get home from school.
It's fun to see these kids grow up together.
Travis took Talmage on his birthday activity- he wanted to go camping.
It was probably a good thing Ginger was wearing a helmet.
This is what I love seeing the most. Just kicking back, doing nothing but chatting with each other and eating popsicles.
We went to Payson Lakes for the 24th- it was a lot of fun. The kids liked jumping off the pier.
We even caught a fish-before Travis realized he forgot his pliers. So one and done. They ate it, too.
The three older kids loved their climbing classes this summer, I think they learned a lot! Maybe this will have to be a repeat Christmas experience gift.
It was a quick, but great summer. At the end of every summer I look back and wonder if I made it fun for my kids. But then I think of this picture, and think, "Yeah, this is what I want them to remember."
