The Pickering Journal: Summer Fun

Since I didn't start my blog until now I decided that I would do a summer recap. Here are some pictures of all the fun things we did this year.

This is the kids at the payson park on one of the first warm days of summer.

For the 4th of July we went to the Lee family party. We had fun hanging out and chatting with our friends, and the lighting off our own fireworks.

These pictures were taken at the Benson family annual camp out. We went up fairview canyon for two nights and had a great time. There was a huge teeter-totter made from two large logs right next to our camp that the kids had a great time playing on. Although we did have a few injuries because of it. There was also a very pretty waterfall that the kids loved to play by. We went to the resivore once with the canoe but the wind was blowing so hard only the guys had enough strength to row it. The kids (and Denali) had fun swimming in the ice cold water.

We had the privelidge of watching Melyndas kids a few times while her and Von went on fun trips to Washington DC and Salt lake. My kids love to have their cousins visit.

Bowen played Baseball for the first time this summer. This is him running to home base. He wouldn't wear his new shoes that I bought him, only his sandals. I kept trying to tell him he was going to hurt his feet but he wouldn't listen. He was really good when he was up to bat, he would get a run almost every time, but when he was in the outfield he had a hard time paying attention to the game. I thought he did really good for a 7 year old.

We had some fun swim days this summer, it is my kids favorite thing to do. We got to go to the new payson pool a few times, the spanish fork pool, and Scera pool for a Downs Syndrome party.

Thanksgiving point had two dollar tuesdays in the month of august so we got to go to the Dinasour museum one day. Bowens favorite part was the movie they had playing in a seperate part of the museum, it wasn't even about dinasours. I got some pictures of him pouting when I made him leave but they didn't turn out very well. My favorite part was the bones of the Long neck, I don't think I had ever seen one actual size before.
