Swimming Pools and Wienie Roasts

I think summer is finally here...hopefully. We have been able to enjoy some summer activities recently and it has been a blast. We took Canyon swimming and he loved it! He is like a little fish. Of course he wouldn't sit in a floaty, he wanted to swim around without being trapped in one. I wasn't really surprised since he hates his car seat or anything else that restricts him.

Canyon loved jumping off the side of the pool into the water. He even puts his entire face under water! We had to keep a really close eye on him because he just wanted to jump in the pool over and over again. Our second summer activity was the traditional wienie roast. Every year Daniel's uncle Tim has a wienie roast in the orchard and burns some of the wood from pruning the trees. It is so much fun! Here are Aunt Lindsey and Canyon enjoying the fire. Canyon was very hungry and snacked on the Graham crackers for the smores before dinner.


I tried to get a good picture of everyone gathered around the fire roasting hot dogs but the smoke changed directions right when I took it.



Canyon loved the tractor! All he wanted to do was sit on it and drive it. He looks so small!

After everyone is finished with their hot dogs and smores, Tim takes all the kids on a tractor/trailer ride through the orchard. It is such a fun tradition and Canyon loved it! Here are Canyon and I and Aunt Lindsey and Lydia about to go for a ride.

Zack and I love the pic of Canyon on the tractor. He is helping me type. He says, "cool tractor!"

Cute little Canyon! I can't believe he already puts his face in the water! It looks like we will have another swimmer like Jacob. We'll have to go swimming this summer!
