Summer Days

We have been having such a great summer!  Lots of fun with family and friends, we are not ready for summer to end quite yet!

The kids had a lot of fun at Vacation Bible School.  Even though we go to a small church, they sure do go all out for those kids. 
 They learned how to serve their family, friends and community.  
 Song time 
 Funny popcorn game.  
 Before it got too hot out, we went miniature golfing with the Kopp and Harwood families.  The kids had so much fun!



 One of our goals for this summer was to gradually limit the use of Kyler's floaties.  We thought it would take some time for him to get use to swimming without his floaties but we were wrong.  He took off!  Kyler has definitely found is niche.  All he wants to do is swim.  He can now swim the length of my parents pool all by himself and get rings from the bottom of the deep end.  We are so proud of our little fishy.
 Indoor campout
 Telling ghost stories...
 Even Alice told a story.
 Fun at Bounce U...

 Kayla and I went to cheer on Lily and Ava at their dance recital.  
 Swimming has been our activity of choice this summer...  
At the Mesquite Groves Aquatic Center with our friends, Emmy, Nate, Ella and Jack.
 Swimming fun with Kaelin and Ava.
 MORE swimming with Grace, Noah and Asher.
And yes, more swimming at Emmy's house.

 Play date with Kayla's friend, Brooklin.
 Loading up on yummy toppings at the Popcorn Bar.
  Skateland with Sarah and Heather. 
 American Girl Doll Camp.  
 And what summer is complete without playing with water from the hose?  

Sleepover with Ava and Abigail.  
 Time for sundaes!  
 More sleepover fun with Sarah and Emmy.
 Pillow fight!  The girls eventually turned on Eric and I and beat us good with their pillows.  Haha!

 We had a much needed getaway with Matt, Brooke and Eric's dad.  We headed up to Prescott's Whiskey Row to celebrate Eric and Matt's birthdays.  
 Date Night.  Kayla and I enjoyed yummy Bahama Bucks while Kyler and daddy went and had frozen yogurt.  Kayla and I then had the fun idea to invite the boys to meet us at the park for some flashlight hide and seek.
