Summer is officially here! I know that because every time I walk out of my house I feel like I am going to melt! It hovers around 110 everyday so I thought we'd get out the pool and sprinkler... The kids loved it and it is way less effort than dragging everyone to the pool, which we do anyway at least 3 times a week.
We got wet (I kept telling the boys to splash me on purpose so I could stay cool) and ate popcorn and popsicles. Can you guess what color Maggie had???
We took our second trip to Utah. Sadly I took ZERO pictures, so for the following you all can thank Eric. He and Craig took the boys camping/fishing. The boys thought they had died and gone to heaven. They did NOT want to come home.
They were so into it they even wanted to sleep outside under the stars. So they did even though Eric wasn't sure about it--of course, this decision was aided by the fact that the tent bag did not contain the necessary equipment to set it up. Lucky boys! Eric said that he found each of them at one point in the night curled up at the bottom of their sleeping bags. Must have been cold!
They spent a lot of time on Grandpa's boat fishing. Apparently Jacob outfished them all. Of course, that is from his own account and Jacob has been known to tell a few "stories."
They kept a couple of the fish because the boys were insistent and wanted to cook them up. Here they are examining the trout at the gutting table.
The men with their spoils....
Back at the Swenson's Maggie loved all the attention. She drove us all crazy getting into everything in the kitchen so Grandpa used a bunch of ropes to tie everything together. That only made it so no one could get any food. Looks like he and Mags made up.
So now we are home, getting back to life, boys in swimming lessons, keeping cool (or trying to at least). Tonight in the bathtub Jacob decided to give Maggie a new hairstyle...
A little too punk for me!
But it is good to be home where everything has a place. But did I mention our house was 93 degrees inside when we got home!!!!!!!!! I have never been so grateful for air conditioning in my life.
