 Our first month of summer break was filled with lots of fun activities

Liz's playgroup this year is going strong!!!  They have had their largest crowds yet.  This was the view from my bedroom window for ocean day.

These awesome kiddos got to spend a week at EFY in Provo

While they were away at EFY, I stayed up way too late every night painting and remodeling the girls room as a surprise to Liz.   She liked it :)

Lucky's photo shoot

Lucky had his very own photo shoot for a small donation to the Humane Society.  I think they turned out great!

Lava Hot Springs

Quick trip with the grandparents up to Lava Hot Springs

June 14th-16th

We had let each of the kids pick out a car ride snack.  This is what Lizzie chose.  She had eaten the whole box within an hour of our drive :)  We are still teasing her. 

The hot springs

They had this 60 foot drop slide that Ethan, Liz and Jim went on.  I think this is Jim in the picture.

We celebrated summer a little early and headed down to St. George for the weekend

June 1st -3rd

First we swam a little in the morning....

 Then the day got even better as these 5 drove up from Vegas to spend the rest of the day with us

 Later that night our family headed to see Matilda at Tuacahn. 

 It was amazing!

 On our way home stopped and Cove Fort and did the tour. 

It was a great weekend and made me excited for summer!
