more summer fun

Here are a few more pictures of some of the summer fun we have had. Can I just add that I am really upset that it is almost August. The summer has flown by way too fast and the thought of my boys starting school makes me a bit sad. I love having them home with me, they are a lot of fun to be around.

This was actually more towards the end of the school year but I never put any of the pictures up. Anyway I took the boys to the Flow rider at the Junction in Ogden. They were so excited! Jones loved it and got the hang of it pretty quick. Jaimin was really excited and didn't even hesitate getting on. He seemed to really enjoy it until he wiped out and then he was done. He refused to go again which is why I have no pictures of him doing it (I actually have a video but for some reason it won't upload). Oh well at least he was willing to try it.


Here are a few pictures of us at Lagoon. We try to go every year. The older the boys are getting the more fun it is for all of us. Jones is starting to go on the big rides and actually likes them which makes it more fun for me due to the fact that Mark isn't big on big rides. They both just love every minute of it. I took this picture of Mark and Jaimin while Jones and I were on the one in front of them. As if I didn't like that ride enough already Jones decided to make it worse. The whole ride he kept talking about what would happen if an earthquake happened while on the ride, he also kept pretending to slide/jump off and actually kept pretending to push me off. I am glad he thinks he is funny (okay I kinda thought he was funny too).

Bumper cars, one of their favorites.






Here they are at the Ogden Pioneer Days Rodeo. My dad is the Executive Director of the Pioneer Days so he gets us tickets every year. The boys look forward to going all summer. This year we were asked to have them dress like cowboys to have their picture taken. I haven't seen the pictures yet but I am glad that we got them dressed up, they thought they were pretty cool.


Notice they aren't wearing boots. Well if you know me at all you know I am not the cowboy type at all and I just couldn't bring myself to buy them cowboy boots. I couldn't spend the money on something they would only wear once so we went with the Pumas.




This one I had to throw in just to show how silly Jaimin is. Notice the flippers on his feet. Granted he had been playing in the pool but he has a tendency to wear them more out of the pool than in the pool. Oh well I guess whatever makes him happy.

Thanks so much for sharing. I remember how much I looked forward to having all the kids home for the summer. My friends thought I was crazy but it was such a warm/fuzzy kind of time. I didn't know Mark doesn't like the big rides (just like me). I loved the cowboy hats but growing up in Logan it JUST WASN'T COOL TO WEAR COWBOY BOOTS and I've never waivered - ha!
