The rest of summer....Part 1

Here are so more fun things we did this summer:
My mom had free tickets to Trafalga so we went mini golfing and also got a bunch of free tokens for the arcade. Canyon loved every minute of it.

Look at that form!

Oakley was the score keeper.


The Jorgensens were there too. With all of our free tokens we played arcade games and tried to save up as many tickets as possible so we could get Max and Canyon a cool prize. We had a TON of tickets....and were able to get the kids a small chalk board and a green army man. :( Oh well, it was still a ton of fun anyway!
Daniel and I went took the kids and went to Park City for a little get away.

The best part was that we went to the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory for breakfast. Delicious!

We celebrated Strawberry Days in Pleasant Grove. We went to the carnival, twice! Our kids are spoiled!

Oakley was mesmerized by all the carnival lights. Look how chubby he looks!


We also went to the Strawberry days parade. Canyon and Max loved getting all the candy that was thrown. Oakley enjoyed the parade from under the umbrella in his bumbo seat.


Daniel and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary! 4 years and 2 kids later we are still going strong!

We spent some time in the mountains-not nearly as much as we would have liked :(

I discovered that boys are dirty. Canyon can be outside for 5 seconds and suddenly be filthy dirty. I think they are literally magnets for dirt!

We had two weddings this summer. Daniel's cousin Emily got married to Chris. And Daniel's sister Lindsey got married to Justin. They both married in the temple and had beautiful receptions in the orchard. Canyon loved waiting at the temple for them. He was so excited to see the temple. Congrats you guys!

Canyon LOVES water. So when the irrigation water comes to the orchard-Canyon strips down and plays in it-even though it is freezing cold. It gets pretty deep. It's like his own personal swimming pool!


The Fourth of July was awesome this year because we got to celebrate it twice. On Saturday we had a barbecue with the Nickels fam. We then attended the Pleasant Grove firework show. It proved to be very entertaining when a few of the fireworks shot directly into the crowd!




Afterwards we went back and shot off our own fireworks-which Canyon decided was the scariest thing ever!
On Monday we celebrated with the Furr's by going to the parade. Every year someone braves the early morning (like 3 in the morning!) and saves everyone else seats. We eat donuts and enjoy the parade.






After the parade it is off to get snow cones... because the donuts did not give us our sugar fill :) That evening is the famous Crandall barbecue complete with great food, volleyball, and making blankets for the children's hospital. This year, Daniel's jeep found an eternal companion!


Then it was off to Amy and Jared's for more fireworks. We ended up having to take Canyon home because he was terrified of them. We had a great 4th of July!
Canyon and Oakley eating breakfast one morning. Even eating breakfast is fun in the summer!

Great pics! I always make sure to wear sunglasses while eating my cereal in the morning. :)

I think next time we go to the fireworks, we should all take caution and wear helmets, or fire proof attire or something like that!
