Last summer adventure day.

It was our last summer adventure day trip. The boys start school on Monday so we decided to head up to Park City. We rode the Gondola's and did some shopping at the farmers market.



At first the boys were a little nervous about riding in them but they did get used to them and really enjoyed the ride.



It was a little high up and fairly windy but a lot of fun.



Then we decided to take a trip over to the Alpine Slide for a ride on that. We got to ride the ski lift up and on the way Jacob noticed that there were several Kevins playing in the grass below us.





And here come the boys...









And when we were all done the boys stopped for a rest and Zach fell asleep.



The boys decided that this was their favorite activity of the summer. They also agreed it was even better because dad got to come along.

Gateway again.

Almost to the end of summer break. I have mixed feelings about it. But we decided to go up to the gateway for our adventure this week. We went with some friends and road the trax train again.



After playing in the fountain and eating lunch we decided to ride down to the Frontrunner station and take a ride on it also. We rode it to the end of the line and back. The boys were worried about being bored and worked word searches and played games on the phone rather then look out the window at the scenery.



And of course we can't take a trip without some little friends.

Movies

Summer movies. I realized yesterday that I haden't posted to the blog lately. Jacob wanted his movie pictures posted. So here they are.

Cooling off the pool

The pool had reached the point where it was just to unbearable to spend any amount of time in it was 98 degrees. So we decided to go get some dry ice and cool it off. We stood on either side of the pool and submerged a green bag full of ice halfway into the pool. This kept any of it from escaping and touching the sides of the pool.



It took about an hour of bubbling fogginess I didn't realize that dry ice would take so long to melt. But when it was all said and done the final temp was 86 degrees. And it felt wonderful. Craig has been out of town for a week now and missed out on the fun but hopefully when he gets home the pool will still be a more comfortable temp.

Swimming!!

It has been warm all week and we have been enjoying the pool.





We are very glad that Craig is coming home today also. Hope you all have a great weekend and are able to stay cool.

Last Airbender

For our outing this week we went and saw The Last Airbender. It was actually good. I wasn't really expecting much but Jacob loves the cartoon and has been trying to convince all of us that we needed to see the movie. So off we went to see it but I did miss the last three minutes of it cause someone insisted he didn't need to use the facilities before the movie started and then couldn't wait another minute to go at the end. Oh well. I guess I can watch the last couple of minutes when it comes out on video.



Craig is jeaous that we saw this without him and we missed and thought of him while we were seeing it. He is in Vegas this week and we miss him and can't wait for him to get back home.

Cupcakes

Our favorite magazine around here is the Disney Family Fun. They had the cutest cupcakes in the July issue so we decided to try and make them.





Here is the magazine showing what they look like. And the cupcake was the first one that Zach did and we should have squeezed a little frosting out on something else first. The first amount came out in a big glop and made a bit of a mess. The boys did think that it was hilarious though and this was the favorite cupcake.



This is a final shot of all of their little cupcakes. The boys are being a claw and don't the cupcakes look awe inspired or terrified I can't decide which one.
