Summer - Week 11 - Last Week!

 We made sure to fit in a few more things before school starts this week.

Namely the park:

and the zoo,

the new library and park right next to it,

and a fun BBQ with some dear friends. It was a great way to end summer.

Bring on the school year!

Summer - Week 10 - 2nd Half

 Once we got home from Eden, we still had a fun-filled weekend.

Logan found out who his teacher and classmates are for 1ST GRADE!

The kids made these cute butterflies from our craft kit.

Logan received a postcard from his cute new teacher.

On Saturday we went to the Davis County Fair.

 Here's Norah and Daddy watching a special princess show.

Norah was in heaven.

Especially when she got to meet everyone afterward.

We ate yummy, expensive fair food.

And paid for expensive rides that the kids thought were amazing.

Shared a treat.

Max's first taste of cotton candy. It's a winner!

The boys braved the repile tent.

Max found a fun kids tent with sand (and apparently dipped his head in it).

Fun times as always! Sad that summer is almost to a close!

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!
