The Great Summer Collage Catch-Up

Here is a little proof that we have actually done a few things this Summer...

Baby Foot Lake
, where is that you may ask. Well, if you ever decide to venture off to find it PLEASE be sure to ask us for advice first. We had quite the adventure on Memorial Day seeking out this little lake. We drove for miles up a big mountain, on gravel roads, with the Johnsons, but it was well worth the trek. It was a fun adventure and a beautiful area. With the cold spring that we had and the high altitude that we were at it was a chilly adventure to kick off our Summer (yes, I realize Summer doesn't actually begin until the end of June) fun, but it was still loads of fun.
Owen has been asking for months now to take an Art Class, so I enlisted the help of my talented artistic friend, Tammy, to help teach my kids (and any others in the area who wanted to join us) a few new skills this summer. They love it and definitely look forward to Tuesdays! Thank you Tammy!
The Fourth of July! Need I say more? We loved being with our friends the Chambers and the Butlers, eating Cafe Rio recipes, and doing fire works. God bless America!
Our friends, the Schultz, invited us to the Train Park as part as a service project for a service group that they belong too. The kids (especially the boys) loved the miniature train rides. They are still talking about this...let's hear it for the Schultz!
We visited the temple with the Primary (the children's organization) from our church. We enjoyed the peaceful spirit of the temple and loved being with our friends.
And Finally....more of little Gracie's birthday! Once Jed was back in town we celebrated the big day with our family and also with Sarah Robinson and her family. Just like Kate and Caroline, Gracie and Sarah were born 3 days apart. Could we have planned that better? We sure love our little Gracie!
