My Little Helpers

They empty the dishwasher for me, they put the dishes on the counter, but they do put the silverware away and it's a big help.

Here's the proof, Veronica is now standing up to everything, and very mobile.

Bear Lake 2009

So the water is up so high this year that there was no beach, just tall, prickly weeds. The kids still found this sand or mud to play in.

Look at that moat!

Playing catch in the water with Niki and Lyndsie. Atticus is hunched over because the water was freezing! My feet made it in and that's all! Jon went to all the trouble to put his swimsuit on so he went out and swam, head under the water and everything. I should have got a picture to document it.

Scarlett and Lyndsie venturing out to the Lake.

Favorite pastime while camping!

Looking for shells.

Enjoying foil dinners the night before.

Summer Outings

Jon had vacation in July so we were able to do some fun things as a family.
The Zoo
Scarlett's favorite part was the giraffes.

Scarlett looks concerned here, but I think it's just because the french fries were too hot to eat right that instant!

Group photo, it is very hard to get all three of them to look at the same time.

Utah Museum of Natural History

Atticus was not as impressed as you might think with the dinosaur bones. I don't know if he could connect what they really were.

Scarlett was so cute, she wanted her picture taken by the earth, like in Wall-E and Eve.
