Celebrating Summer . . .

. . . or at least what summer we can get. Last week was really nice. Sunshine and in the 70's. This week it is cloudy, rainy, and a chilly 65*. I have already seen a few leaves begin to change colors. As much as I love fall, I really would like to enjoy more summertime! We have been trying to take advantage of the warm days and head to the park. Coleman and Teegan trying to climb the tree (without success)!


One of the parks here, has a church group (I think it's a church group) that comes Monday-Friday and provides a free lunch for all the children. The other day, they also had the firetruck come, and boy was Coleman excited! He had the biggest smile on his face. I didn't ever get a picture of him checking it out, but it was still fun to see!

I'm not sure if this is because of our crazy summer schedule or what, but every time we get in the car, it seems like Teegan is always falling asleep. The other day, he fell asleep in the shopping cart at Walmart. Right as I realized he was asleep, he did the bobble head thing, and smacked his face on the front handle bars. It left a bit of a mark above his eyebrow, and I felt so bad. No pictures of that event, either. Just him sleeping in the car!

Since we don't live in Utah, our ward had a picnic at a park on July 24th to celebrate Pioneer Day. A member of our bishopric read a pioneer story, and then after dinner, we played pioneer games.
Here is Phil winning a game of stick pull against Dusty Butler.

Here is Phil losing a game of stick pull to Kevin Thomas.

They even let the kids try and Coleman loved it. He played this round with Jake Wood.

Another game they had was water balloon baseball. Not exactly a pioneer game, but still lots of fun!

Phil was holding a water balloon and trying to get it to pop on Coleman. However, he missed, and it totally soaked Teegan. Teegs was such a good sport about it though, and hardly even whined!


Anyway, that's a little update of our summer happenings!
