The Rest of Utah

The day after the 4th, the guys decided they needed to do more fireworks so they went and bought even more then the first day.  You do not want to know how much money was spent.  It was crazy, but it sure was fun.  The best part about it is how excited the kids get about it.  

 We had to get a picture of the big box of them.  Crazy!

On Friday morning Erica invited us all out to Eagle Mountain for a dutch oven breakfast and for swimming.  It was so much fun!  The food was so good and because it was early we were the only ones at the pool, but with all of us that is quite a group.  We had almost everyone there for this trip and we were only missing Austin's five kids out of the grand kids.  So much fun.

This was a picture of the grand kids.  We were only missing six since Chandler had to work, so it was so much fun for the kids to get together!

Kevy and his little buddy.

The last day we were there we went out to Herriman where there is a very small reservoir that has sand around it.  We thought it would be something different than just going swimming.  The kids really loved it.  It was fun for them to play in the water and in the sand. We didn't have any life jackets, so we were very nervous about the kids going in the water.  And of course Lizzy thought she had to be with all the big kids way out in the deep part. We made her wear her arm floaties the whole time.  I wasn't about to get in myself.  I am no fun anymore, but all I can think of is how gross the water is.  When the kids got home their swimsuits stunk so bad, so I rest my case.

Thankfully Janie and Jack spent most of the time out of the water, so we didn't have to worry so much about them.

 Russ was really good and sat on the blanket the whole time.  He did enjoy eating the oranges we had for lunch rind and all!

 Kevy and Tom were good sports and held up the umbrella for us.  They had fun just sitting and visiting.

   I just love those little bunnies!  I had to get a picture.  She was so funny because she needed to go pee and we didn't want to take her in the nasty port-o-potties. So we told her to just go in the lake. (I know bad of us) Well she didn't get it and she ran in there and started taking off her swimsuit to go.  It was so funny.  I went and got her and took her and they ended up being pretty clean, all things considered.

 The kids had fun making a river.

Russell decided that he liked eating the sand. Silly boy

 Oh my goodness what a cute group this is.

 The four oldest cousins decided that they had to swim all the way across the lake and back, and they did, it was really cute to watch them out there chatting with each other. I love it!

I really like this picture.  I think it is so cute!  We had such an amazing trip to Utah this summer.   We love spending time with family, it is the best! We wish Kevin's family could have come up to see us, but it just wasn't meant to be.
