August 2021

More camping fun! We went to Island Park with Cheryl and her family. Her husband's family has a cabin up there. We stayed a few days and did lots of fun things and exploring, including fishing, floating the river and Yellowstone.

She caught a fish!

Korra got a hold of RED fingernail polish and spilled it all over the carpet. I called he expert to help gt it out. The girls were pretty interested in watching Grandpa work.

Tremonton Library had a teen activity with chalk.

Our stake primary did a scavenger hunt for the children and it was a pioneer scavenger hunt of monuments and place close by. Plus we had some other activities we could do as a family to finish the paper.

Korra sat in the dentist chair all by herself this time.

 

A stop for dinner on our way to Island Park.

More Island Park fun.

going to get to the perfect spot

Abby caught a fish too! There was no way she was holding that thing though.

All the other girls wanted to hold the fish to though.

When you have a naughty 2 year old who takes off their shoes and throws them over the do not enter parts of the forest you send one of your other little ones to grab it.

This buffalo wanted to go on the boardwalk, got spooked from all the people and turned around.

Korra took our picture, not too bad for a 2 year old.

Mia and I had a special night sleeping on the air mattresses and watching a movie and having treats.

More scavenger hunt activities. This place was pretty cool actually and we'll go back again.

Lily's special night with mom. Making brownies and doing puzzles then watching a movie on the air mattresses.

Abby's yearly eye check up. She had to get the drops and the shades they gave her weren't cutting it so she took my sunglasses and put them on over the shades they gave her and her glasses.

Kyla's friend who moved to Minnesota was in Utah and visited us. They are playing some weird game they made up.

Back to school night and Kyla is practicing opening her locker. It was a real struggle. I told her we couldn't leave until she could open two times in a row. It took hours, but she didn't want to give up and eventually she did it.

A water bottle we found that we all agreed was the right size for Mia. She loves drinking water and drains her water bottle fast.

Carnival rides at the Box Elder Fair with cousins.

Kyla and Mia after riding the Zipper. Mia screamed the whole time and Kyla was laughing so hard she had a hard time breathing.

First day of school.

9th Grade!! She's a freshman. What? Luckily the school system here has middle school 8th and 9th so still one more year until high school.

I asked her to strike a pose.
