24th of July - Fun in the Sun

We had a wonderful time on the 24th of July. We went boating with our good friends, "The Hekkings". We had such a fun time. The kids thought it was a blast. They were able to go swimming in the lake, Max tried the wake board and knee board. Angela gave a try at the wake board and was able to get up for a short minute. After boating we went out to dinner and then back to their house for drinks and home fireworks. I think that everyone had a good time. Thanks for a wonderful day!!!

Maxwell did very well on the wake board so I thought that I would take a video of him, take a look below:

Well the 24th of July is coming up soon. The kids and I went to the South Towne Expo Center and went and viewed some of the floats that are going to be in the Days of 47 Parade on Friday. The floats were are all so good. It was really neat to see them up

close. They gave each of us a ballot and at the end we were able to vote for the float that we liked the best. If you watch the Parade on Friday, Max really liked the float that was called "The Avenues" (I think the big red "U" on the top sold him on it) and Angela really liked the float th

at was from Real Salt Lake. It was a really cool float with an absolutely HUGE Soccer Player on it - really neat. Austin and I voted for the Monsters verses Aliens float that was made by Walmart. Anyway it was a good time and the kids also got balloons and their faces painted (of course, Max was too old for the face painting, but the lady making the balloons said that he could never be too old for a balloon!)

MAXWELL AT LAVA

Here are some pictures of Max at the swimming pool with his cousin's and their friends. They were playing basketball in the pool. It was Max and my sister's husband Dave against all the girls. I don't think Max minded much. The cousin's had some cute friends!!!!

4th of July at Lava Hot Springs---

***Austin is the speck on the slide

Well it was our annual trip to Lava Hot Springs for the 4th of July. It was a very busy town. Lots of people and lots of things to do. We hung out at the pool every day. They have added some new water slides that are a lot of fun. It is quite the walk to get up to them. There is 9 flights of stairs - so by the time you reach the top, you need an oxygen mask. They are a lot of fun. I do have to admit that I was scared the first time that I went down them but really had a good time. The kids went on them too many times to count. Robert, Max, and my sister Pam and her husband Dave went golfing on Saturday. They had a good time. Austin actually went off the 3rd platform. I don't think he was scared to anything. The slides didn't scare him and the platforms didn't scare him either. Angela brought her best friend Morgan, Austin did his own thing and Max had a good time hanging out with his cousins and their friends. The fireworks were a good show as always.
