A fun evening watching The Lion KIng!

Wednesday night, Scott and I went to see The Lion King in Salt Lake City! It was fantastic! The puppets (animals) were so clever and creative. I scrapbooked these pages and then erased my disc on my camera, so hopefully you can see the pictures well enough.

One last weekend before summer ends

Labor day weekend is our last hurray before summer ends. Our girls and their families went up to Bear Lake with us to enjoy the long weekend. Of course the most importandt item on the "to do List" was to mount this bad boy.
He really takes up most of the room like he owns it! Not sure I really am in love with it....but Scott is so that's what matters.
Monday; which was labor day, it ended up too cold for a beach day and day of getting wet, so we went to the local park while the guys golfed. Kenidee brought a friend with her. this is her and Kalli trying out all the climbing things.
The rock wall was fun for the boys to try their skills on. It was an enjoyable trip for us all; Except Scott who ended up with phenomonia and ended up taking a drive to Logan Sunday for medication and a doctors visit.

One last Kraft Kamp before school starts




Reagan and Hannah attended another week of Kamp with me and made some darling things. I love watching how independent they are at making their projects. Donna (the owner) is so patient with all the girls. Thanks, Donna for making our summer go by just a little faster.

A family reunion at Heber Valley Campground

This past weekend, the Jenkins had their annual campout. This year we went to Heber Valley campground, which is owned by the church. Everything was in perfect condition! There were lots of activities for the kids.
We all enjoyed a paddle boat ride on the lake. Canoes were available too for those that could handle them. They would have been much easier on the thighs than those paddle boats though.
Jacob brought a great game for everyone to enjoy. Chase the tails. If your rope tail got stepped on....you were out!
We ended up with the game "Minute to win it" Here Mark and Jay are doing the elephant march. They had to swing a tennis ball without touching the nylon on their head and hit bottles of water that were placed on the ground. I have never laughed so hard in a long time! Thanks to Barbara for all her hard work in making a great weekend for everyone.

A fun day at the Splash Park

Monday morning; Jolene had surgery on her hand. A sist needed to be removed. So I brought them all to my house that afternoon for a week of recovery. Addison Loved her bubble baths at Grandma's.
By Thursday; Jolene was feelling pretty good, so we ALL went to the Splash Pad in Riverdale for some water fun. Here Griffin and James are having a shoot out with water. (How is getting wetter?)
Brianne and Olivia loved the mushrooms. Kaycee and Addison did too, just not a picture of them.
Proof of Jolene's hand. She basically can;t get this wet for two weeks and 6 weeks after that, no lifting more than 5 pounds! Good luck Jo!

A QUICK visit to Eagle, Idaho

Last weekend, Scott and I drove up to Eagle, Idaho to visit Austin and Shawnee and take up some furniture for their new apartment.
If the furniture looks like you have seen it before; well you have! It's from our house. We also took up Austin's washer and dryer and a chest of drawers along with some misc. stuff.
They live in a great community that is quiet and somewhat "Park Cityish" and the only noise in their neighborhood is the fact that they live next to the Post Office.
Her is a picture of their duplex as we were leaving. Nice place! 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living room, kitchen and laundry and a GARAGE! It was a short but very enjoyable trip. Next time; golf will be the order of the day.

Placing rocks at Bear Lake

We ordered rocks so we could do some landscaping; and the guy dumped them right in the middle of our driveway!
Owen and Olivia (Irene's kids )had a little water fight while daddy and grandpa moved rocks.


It took ALL day, but we have the start of a wall and they also made stairs out of the rocks. They hardly made a dent in the huge rock pile though. This project just might take ALL summer long and then some.
