The Little Mermaid



Mom and I took the girls down to St. George to see The Little Mermaid at Tuachan.  We had a whirlwind two day trip.  We swam in the pool at our hotel and had a blast even though it was a little chilly.





Sunny loved baby Georgie.  She has a thing for babies...wonder where she gets it from :)



Lila had a good time playing with Henry.



Sunny practiced her swimming.  That is her underwater with the pink bathing suit.



The weather was gorgeous.  We couldn't have picked a better day.  Last year, after the play was over at 11:30 at night, the temperature was still over 100 degrees. This year it stayed in the low 90's with a breeze and it felt amazing.



Aunt Jess painted nail of course.







We had great seats.  When we bought our tickets, we debated sitting on the front row and decided not to because the show uses a lot of water and we didn't want to get wet.  We also though we might have a little better view from the 7th row.  I think we were right and our seats were perfect.





Look who sat 3 rows in front of us.  Mitt Romney and his wife Ann.  They drew a lot of attention and had crowds of people around trying to take their pictures.  It was quite annoying.  Good thing I had the perfect seat to be able to discreetly snap a picture of my own.


The Little Mermaid was fantastic and we can't wait to go back next year.  We are debating between The Sound of Music (Me, Sunny, Mom) and Beauty and the Beast (Lila and Jess)


Jazz Open Scrimmage



I have lots of catching up to do on the blog.  So, here comes lots of posts that are all out of order.  Sometime in July, we went up to Salt Lake to watch the Utah Jazz have an open scrimmage with some of their new players.  

It was pretty fun, but we didn't end up staying very long because they kids (aside from Jackson and Griffin) were really bored.  I would venture to say that Sunny hated it.  


Posing with a statue. It is either Stockton or Malone.  I can't tell which from the picture.


 Cameron and I took lots of selfies since he was pretty bored.







On the way home, we got stuck on the freeway when it was shutdown due to a huge fire.  Eventually they opened up one exit and we were all herded off and we made our way home the back way.

Girls Camp 2014



I just got back from Girls Camp up in Idaho.  It was an awesome and HARD week.  I have lots of pictures and lots of stories, but this will have to do for now.




My poor legs.  Both sides looked like this and this is actually only a small portion about 6 days after I got the bruises. I'll share the story later.  It's a good one.

More Seven Peaks



We have been to Seven Peaks 3 times this summer and hopefully we will be able to go a few more times.  The last time we went, it was CRAZY busy.  We had to park way down in the lower lot and then walk across.  That would have been fine except that they were re-paving the road  and you had to walk around the fresh hot asphalt and construction workers and trucks.  Also, they who place smelled really strongly of the asphalt, which was nasty!

They also closed 2 slides and all three pools closed at one point for a few minutes.  It was not our favorite trip there, but they kids till had fun.

11 Year Old Campout


Ryan was able to go with Jack and his scout leaders on the 11 year old camp out last night.  They had a blast.  He and Chance are best buds and I am glad they both got to go.






Blooming


My lilies are blooming!  That makes me happy!

Cinderella



Last night we went to see the play, "Cinderella."  It was at a beautiful outdoor theater and the weather was perfect.




Sunny shares my love of the theater.  I do believe she will be the star of the show one day.




It was so fun to spend a night with my family.  Summer is flying by way too fast and I want to enjoy every minute.
