What a Busy Week

Well this past week was a very busy week!

We wend to This is the Place Heritage Park on Wed. and it was a lot of fun. The kids got to try on fun hats and we rode ponies, and made candles, and rode the train and petted the animals. It was a lot of fun.





That night was also back to school night so the kids all met their teachers. It was fun. Then we had pack meeting and Jacob recieved his Bear award. Now he will be in Webelos scouts. Crazy! He is growing up.

The next morning was the first day of school and Jacob's birthday. Jacob had a good day. Grandma and Grandpa Atkinson came for dinner and Grandma took a bike ride with us because Jacob got a new bike for his birthday. Jacob also wanted a Harry Potter Birthday cake.





Here are pics from the first day of school. Everyone seemed to have a great time.

Summer Fun - Chickens first egg

We have just been having a fun summer. This week, we went bowling with some neighbors. My kids really had a good time.





Even Wyatt learned how to bowl. He got the highest score of us all!!

Then John went on a 12 mile hike with Jack and so on Saturday we had to go and pick them up. We went up to the campground where they were supposed to meet us. We started hiking the path and a huge thunder storm came so we went back to the car. I forgot my camera, but it was really beautiful. I guess as we were waiting in the car, another car that we had previously talked with left and they saw John and Jack and asked if they were looking for us, so they drove back up and told us they were down at the 1000 peaks ranch. I am so glad they are home safely. I guess there wasn't much trail up there and they were climbing huge rocks and so they decided to take a different route and came out around the lake. They had a good time.

While they were gone the kids and I went swimming at Serena's and then we went out to eat with her and we rented Planet 51 to watch.

Today our chickes laid their first eggs. Well I think it was yesterday! Yesterday our one chicken flew over the fence and we couldn't find her anywhere. Then we finally found her stuck in the fence. We have a wood fence and the neighbors have a chain link fence. She was between the two fences. Then today we heard her trying to lay an egg but she couldn't do it so then a few minutes later, she flew over the fence again and into the same spot. We went to the neighbors and saw that she had built a nest and there were three eggs laying there. Amazing.

Camping at Wasatch State Park

This past weekend we went camping at Wastach State Park. It is a great campground for tents. It has showers, warm water to wash your hands in and toilets that flush! I loved it. All except it was sooooo hot. Not quite far enough up the canyon to really cool off. We didn't even have to get into our sleeping bags to sleep. It was a lot of fun.

We took a hike, roasted marshmellows and had smores and played in the little creek. The boys all carved a walking stick. And just plain got very dirty. I don't think Wyatt has ever been so dirty. It was just fun to sit back and relax. Here are some pics.









Wyatt was so dirty and he does not know how to shower so this is how we gave him a bath. Didn't like it at all.
