I have to admit that I really do miss having a pool in our backyard but atleast here in Utah there are some amazing community pools for us to enjoy. This was our trip to the Roy Aquatic Center. We had a great time!! The boys were a little rusty on their swimming skills since this was our first time swimming this year but they picked their skills back up eventually.
This summer we are trying hard to enjoy the entire summer while Abby and Jacob are with us. One of the things we love doing together as a family is hiking. These are some of the pictures I took while we were hiking Antelope Island in the Great Salt Lake.
The kids with Dave. He is a great leader on our hikes. I always am in the back so I can see all the kids and have the warm fuzzy feeling that everything is going good.
Connor is the type of kid who loves to push the limits of physics with everything that he does. He loves to climb on everything (Everything!) and go as fast as he can no matter how many times I tell him to slow down and be safe. On our trip to the Dinosaur park today he trip to beat gravity and well....gravity won. He fell down backwards and busted his head open on a rock. The staff at the Dinosaur Park were amazing and performed first aid but were unable to get the bleeding to stop so we had to go to the emergency room. Luckily he just had a "deep abrasion" and it was so skinny that it did not need stitches, to the surprise of everyone. At the end of it all we just had to keep a bandage strapped to his head for two days and he had to be on bed rest for one day. Which by the way is very, very, very difficult for that kid!
