.what we do in the summer.

*sigh* I finally have a moment to sit down and put all of our pics and recent happenings to post.  We have been busy whiling away the simmering summer days doing the following:

 Being little Pollock's by painting with water on the sidewalk.  A good way to have fun without getting too dirty.

Working on our stacking, our favorite things being can's from the cupboard.

Getting some use out of our zoo pass.  We ventured out when the weather dipped into the low 90's instead of the 100's,  and every other mother in Utah had the same idea.  

Hiking Albion Basin to see the wildflowers...of course Cecret Lake provided lots of entertainment for little boys who like to throw rocks and dip toes in the water.  We also saw a few moose...this one not 10 feet off the trail, YIKES!

Painting the "Red" wall and undertaking more work then originally anticipated.  Step by step I guess.

 Re-unioning with family.  Finn and uncle Sean relaxing at the end of the day...can you tell he's tired?

 Momma and Finn dancing

 This is Finn dancing with my sister Angie and then his favorite partner, cousin Sully.  He didn't want anything to do with anybody else...just Sully.

 More reunion time up Big Cottonwood.  The outdoors are perfect to play and be little boys in.  Finn was showing me all of his sticks he had picked up.

More family hiking up at Brighton's Silver lake.  Finn looks a bit awkward in the picture, but he had just finished yelling at the ducks, so that might have something to do with it.  As another side note, Roy does not make a habit of wearing rope around as a belt, we had just taken Finn's "leash" off for the   ducks.

Roy has had the whole month of July off from church callings and we have enjoyed having him home a lot more.  We've spent lots of nights eating dinner at the park and playing at the playground, swimming, wrestling, running around in diapers, eating LOTS of watermelon, and all around having a good ol' time despite all the heat.
