Iona Park

We frequented Iona park. They played and I monitored Lukes attempt to eat the bark..

I love how they are sitting in this picture.

Baseball

We enjoyed one Chuckars Baseball game (or about half of one) and an icecream cone to boot!

More Lake.

Swim Lessons

Luke and I endured many many swim lessons.

Swimming. swimming.

Oh the fun that we had at the lake and water park. Best summer fun EVER.

this was the best idea. To contain the babies Luke and Spencer, we filled up the little raft with water and they had their own little sand free pool. My car was packed full all summer. With the shade, towels, beach toys, life jackets, cooler, chair, blanket. Luke played a bit in the sand and lake as well. And he did consume a fair amount of sand. We usually went with Torrie and kids and some of their friends. But talked Kara into joining us once and got to hang out with Mary and Atli a few times. We were probably at the week an average 2-3 days every week.

Jack enjoyed swimming out with me to the water slide in the lake and going down with me. He was pretty brave getting dunked under the water. He really honed his swimming skills this summer.

Nothing cuter than a chunky baby in a grandpa had and speedo.

and onto walking…

good thing we had protection…

You would not believe the comments we got while he had the helmet on, it was pretty normal to hear parents explaining to their kids “Oh, he must fall a lot so he has to wear a helmet”

Really? what walking 10 month old doesn’t fall a lot? While it was a major bonus, so NOT the reason to put them and you through torture..

My Little Piggie

Jack would occasionally flood my garden to create his own swimming hole. I am a freak and always worried about kiddie pools and worry about them drowning so I never let them get one. So Jack had to improvise. But on the plus side it watered my garden.

Summer Fun

At the Zoo in Idaho Falls. It was nice and shady and cool that day.

4th of July fun waiting for the fireworks in the usual spot in Menan.

Wade, Ellie, Jack.

Dan and Luke.

Luke learned to crawl..

over the summer Luke catapulted through crawl, walk, run.

T-Ball

This summer Jack played T-ball. He enjoyed it. Dan got to come to quite a few games to cheer him on. Luke and I soaked up the sun. Here is the play by play…
