July 2013

For the 4th of July, we went to the DeCampos house to celebrate. We had a BBQ and swam. Afterwards, we went and saw fireworks at our favorite spot in south Gilbert. Our kids just aren't into fireworks. We might not go again until they can sit and be quiet during the whole thing. It doesn't help that it is hot. The middle of July we said goodbye to the Hansen family. They went back to North Carolina. We had so much fun hanging out with them this summer.

We went to the cabin up in Forest Lakes the end of June. The kids had so much fun and had been begging us all month to go again so we went once more the end of July. The kids loved going on rides with Dad and drawing/writing in the notebooks I got them for entertainment. June was pretty hot but July was absolutely gorgeous. We are so lucky to have family that has a cabin that we can go and get away from the heat and hustle and bustle of life.

And then to end summer, the kids had their last class of Creepy Crawler. Their teacher had a guy come in with all kinds of reptiles. They loved seeing the snakes, lizards, and other reptiles. This is Bryce petting the huge snake that weighed 160 lbs and took the length of 2 big tables. We were so sad to end this class, but so happy to start school the next week!
