weekend in utah

Alpine Days Parade. We set up our chairs Thursday afternoon, the parade wasn't untill Saturday, but it was all filled up by Friday morning, so we were right on time I guess. Funny how many people want "good spots".

The beginning of the parade the boys kept their ears covered, it was LOUD!!!!

They had fun watching the floats and grabbing the candy!

We also went to the Hill Air Force Base museum and saw some awesome air planes. Here we are outside under the wing of a plane, great place for a picnic.

My brothers Alex (above) and Mitch and his fiance Shalecia (below) joined us on our field trip. It was fun to hang out with them too!

Bob-a-loo was a little ornery (that's pretty normal) and wouldn't look while I was taking pictures. I really like the old time planes. They were really neat.

The boys liked the fighter planes.

Monkey got to sit in an exection seat. He barley could fit in, but I wish I had the picture of Alex, he was almost to tall for it!

This museum is only a few miles from our house in Clearfield, we lived there for 3 years and never went. Doesn't it seem to take leaving to find the neat things around. Atleast Mitch and Shalecia are living at the house and we can do all the fun things with them.

Oregon Coast weekend

We had a great time on the Oregon coast last weekend. The boys loved playing in the sand at Agate Beach. There were awesome dunes and the boys were up and down them thousands of times. They sure did have have fun!

We even found a fun place to play while the marine layer burned off in the morning. The boys pretended to be pirates and loved calling eachother "matee!"

Sunday we went to another beach and played most of the day. We had fun playing in the sand, playing in the surf, and picking up rocks and shells.

Even Luna had a great time at the beach. She didn't like the salt water, but luckily there was a fresh water stream cutting the beach and perfect to play in, plus it was a little warmer then the ocean water.

Pictures from the summer events

We found ourselves at Mt. Rainer the end of July. What a beautiful place! The boys really loved the waterfalls and seeing the big mountain. We only went for the day, but I definitely want to go back and spend more time.

I finally have the photos from the combine deomlution derby. What a fun day! IF you find yourself in central Washington while this is going on, it is worth the drive to Lind Washington. Way FUN!!!!
