Our annual Salt Lake trip started out at the Dinosaur Park in Ogden. The kids had fun, but when we went to the gift shop, the kids found a bean bag and got comfy and watched ..........Jurassic Park! Next stop -


Cherry Hill! We camped at Cherry Hill for 2 nights and had a blast! I will add swimming pictures later - they are still on my waterproof camera. We played in Hamster's Haven, Sydnie finally learned to ride her bike with no training wheels, and we played miniature golf. I tried helping Sydnie with her bike, but I must have been a little annoying because she said to me, "Mom, I don't really want your help anymore, I can just do it myself". And she did it!

I could just see Sydnie's Dad cringing at the way she held her golf club, but I thought it would give them something to work on together.

Well, I'm behind again, so her are a few of our summer highlights. We actually had a fun summer. Sydnie tried softball and learned good form. She did pretty good for never having touched a baseball bat before.


For the 4th of July we went to a parade in Lewiston, then had lunch at Big J's where the kids got these awesome hats. Oh, also Aunt Buffy decorated their faces for the big day. That night we got together for fireworks in Grandma's street. Sydnie and TJ liked taking turns dancing in front of the strobe lights.


This was a fun day at the park with Sydnie's cousins Gavin & Rian. We played in the water and tried to climb a big tree. Sydnie made me laugh because she just kept going around and around the tree to find a good place to start climbing.

This was just a random shopping cart at the park, so we just had to snatch a picture. Well, I will add some more 'highlights' later.
