Fun Things We Want to Do This Summer (Since we aren't going to Alaska)

A few weeks ago we each wrote down things things we wanted to do this summer. Here is our compiled family list:

• Miniature golfing/go-carting at Lagoon


• Tubing down the Portneuf River at Lava Hot Springs


• Seven Peaks water park


• Bear Lake


• Pineview Reservoir


• Buy a "labradoodle" (This is a mix between a lab and a poodle. I will let you guess who wanted this to be their summer activity!)

Since Darren has the month of July off we are trying to squeeze in as many of these activities as we can in between the huge "honey-do" list I have for Darren and the girls. Yesterday we took the day off from the "honey-do" list, packed the cooler and beach stuff, and headed off to Pineview Reservoir. The girls and Darren spent 4 hours playing in the water and sand. I spent 4 hours with 50 SPF sunscreen under a canopy reading a book! In May I had a bit of a scare with several moles that were a bit "funky", so I am now a little paranoid about being in the sun. Although Darren and the girls applied sunscreen a couple of times they all ended up a little crispy. Addy probably got the worst of it. Delaney said that Addy looked like she had on red tights. You can see from the pictures below that a good time was had (despite the sunburns). Notice there are no pictures of me! Delaney and Darren took a couple, but since I have the password to my blog I get to choose what is posted. Addy asked me why I didn't want pictures of me in a swimsuit. I said it was because I didn't want people to see that I was a little fat. She looked at me as if to say, "Mom, I think they already know that!" Aren't kids great??!!
