2nd Week of July

 Here are some highlights from the 2nd week of July.

Nyles and Carter building a fort w/ the neighbor boys Jayson and Dalan Brown.  It was so hot outside Carter melted off the slide and Hudson squashed Nyles, haha ;)

Steve took the boys and Nyles' friend from school (Lincoln) to Thanksgiving Point (Museum of Ancient Life)  They had a great time.

We went to a park after grabbing a bite to eat.  Cute Hudson playing the drums w/ my straw and lid.  Nyles and Carter swinging on a tire swing.

Carter and Nyles w/ a Home Depot project.  Baby Hudson hiding behind the curtains.  Steve and the boys loaded up and ready to go camping up in the Uintas Thursday night.

Steve went and picked up Rob, then they headed up.  They met Phill and Conor in Kamas, then continued up to Trial Lake.  No one is allowed camp fires right now  (except in designated spots) due to the dry conditions, so they used glow sticks instead.

They made some popcorn, yumm.  Steve warming up w/ a blanket.

Dave came up in the morning and they went over to Trial Lake to go fishing.

More fishing.  Carter caught a fish all by himself, then they ate it for lunch.

They went and explored other lakes as well.

Steve, Carter, Phill, Conor, Dave, Nyles and Rob in the hole.

Great pics of the boys by Mt. Baldy.

It rained on them most of the afternoon.  

Steve took a picture of some pretty mountain flowers for me (thank honey!).

Getting lunch back at the campsite, cooking the fish.

Dinner time.  Carter hanging out in his hammock.

Phill caught a dead fish.  Pretty sunset.

They boys got a little cold from the rain all afternoon, so Steve took them for a drive w/ the heater on to warm up.  Carter fell asleep of course.

They got back by noon on Saturday.  

After unloading and cleaning up, we headed to the pool to cool off since it was so hot!

Nyles jumping off the diving board.

Our Rose of Sharon are blooming and other flowers, which I love!  

Hudson tried the trampoline while I threw the ball for Piper.

On Sunday we went over to have dinner w/ LuDean, Diane, Dave and Joann.  Hudson loved playing w/ LuDean's birthday balloon from the week before.  He is good at getting tangled up in chords as well.  We bought the boys some Perler beads, and they have been busy making things.  We also played a quick game of Pencil Nose while at LuDean's.

Carter w/ his Pokémon pokeball he made out of Perler beads.  

Piper hiding under my blanket as the fireworks went off during Draper Days.

Hudson trying a sucker for the first time on the way home from LuDean/Diane's.  I think it's safe to say he really liked it.  It kept him really quite almost the whole way home.

Great quotes.
