Summer - Week 6

 This week started with playing at the park with friends (they've been friends since are oldest were babies).

Richards family reunion at Little Bear Bottoms. Benj went so far down the slide he hit the mud - haha!

My cousin brought her cotton candy machine. My kids were in heaven!

July 15 - Visited the dinosaur park! Don't the kids look thrilled? They really did have a lot of fun!

July 16 - Backyard water fun!

We also went to the farmer's market. I'm still dreaming of this amazing pizza!

Our cousins gave us shaved ice (they own a booth there) and we got to hang out for awhile!

 July 17 - We had a fun visitor come - Grandpa Croft! He was there for his 50th class reunion! As you can see the kids adore him!

Summer - Week 5

 A fun week this week - we went to the zoo twice!

The kids always pile on Daddy is he's on the floor.

 Zoo day #1 - We brought our swimming suits and ran around the splash pad!

They have a fun dinosaur theme this year!

Digging for dino bones.

Raspberries came on full force! This girly especially loves them.

Always a nice day to visit this place.

Date night to see Zac Brown Band at the Usana Amphitheater. SO much fun!

 Norah got to go to a fun jumgle-theme birthday party for her friend Sydney.

 

Followed with another zoo visit - this time with cousins!

Love these summer days!

Idaho Falls Part 3

 A few other random shots from IF:

A playdate at the park - it was so hot!

 Playing in the yard.

Flying kites over at the school grounds. Idaho Falls is always windy - perfect for kite-flying! My kids were in heaven!

So cute in their matching shirts.

 Watching the kites in the shade of an itty-bitty tree.

Went to Rexburg where we:

went to the pool (it was at full capacity so we actually had to wait to get in). So crazy but fun on a hot day.

Afterward we hit up Neilsen's Frozen Custard for some dinner and of course, custard.

 And also did a quick drive-by of the Rexburg temple (ignore the thumb in the photo!).

A beautiful sunset on the drive home.

Until next time!

Idaho Falls Part 2

 I took so many pictures in Idaho Falls that it was hard to go through them all. I even have some on my phone which will have to wait for another post. 

Here are a few more highlights from our week:

Backyard water fun!

Mom was hiding behind Sam when a water fight began . . .

  

Then the fight was really on!

Especially between these two lovebirds.

Early Saturday we went to the parade.

She insisted on bringing her bear.

Cute Marlee taking photos.

After the hot parade, it was nice to cool down with popsicles (can you spy the photo bomber?).

Family picture time (Norah and Max were taking naps).

Me and my bros - I miss them!

Showing our true sides.

Benj and Marlee bonded over jumping off the porch.

Love Benj's face in this last picture. He was having as much fun as the kids!
