More Pool Time!

We hit up the pool tonight with our family visitors.  The kids LOVED having so many adults around to chase them in the water and to play with.  Zach started getting 'brave' and didn't want to swim with his water wings.  Check out this photo progression - he had some confidence he could swim on his own....but....well, you can see below.

Don't worry...his dad was right next to him.  Here are some other fun shots from the pool trip.

Another Fire...

This wildfire was started last night by lightning.  Of all the wildfires we've seen this summer, this one is the closest to our home.  We weren't in any danger - but the air quality is just so poor!

The helicopters with water buckets were filling up in the river behind our house.

Zach's hike with G&G Gray

Dustin's parents and a couple of his Aunts stopped in town for a few days from their drive from Idaho to Colorado.  Both Dustin and Jen needed to work today, but Zach was able to hang out with them.  They decided to go on a picnic lunch and a hike down near Payson, Utah.

They all had a LOT of fun!  Zach was excited to catch a 'fish' and do some exploring.

Last day with the cousins

Today was the last day that Jen's brother and his kids and Jen's parents were in town....we tried to cram in as much fun as possible.  We decided to pick up some McDonalds lunch and take everyone to a park to try and blow off some energy.  For some reason none of the kids were interested on playing on all the park equipment, they were more interested in the other people at the park.  Logan for some reason was interested in a particular tree....so what does he do?  Drags the cooler over to the tree, so he can stand on it to touch something on the side of the tree.

Uncle Garrett to the rescue - the cooler (and Logan) are now safe.... 

"I don't need a cooler - I can still REACH"

Cousin Scott

Cousin London

Yup - Logan

After the park we headed over to Lowe's.  Garrett's kids had never been to a Lowe's build-and-grow event...and since our kids LOVE IT....why not share the fun!?!

Night in Park City

We all headed up to Park City tonight.  We had dinner at Baja Cantina at the Mountainside resort.  When Zach saw all the activities he got really excited...he remembers being here two years ago and playing on all the activities (what a good memory!).  By the time we finished dinner, the activities at the Mountainside resort were only open for one more hour.  The kiddie area was dead, no one around.  The attendants manning the bouncy slide and the rock wall invited all the kids to come in and play :)

Logan decided he loved the rock wall so much we wanted to climb the other rocks in the play area......look at him on the top of this HUGE rock.  He was so proud of himself that he was able to get to a spot that NO ONE could get him.  Look at that fist pump!

Cousin's at the pool

What do you do when you need to burn off some energy of six children all ages 5 and under?  Take them to the pool!  We grabbed our kids, Jen's brother's kids and our neighbor kids and spent a good two hours at the pool this afternoon.  There were lots of water gun fights, jumping in and splashing.

Good times....good times!

Cousin Shots!

Jen decided to take the kids back to FotoFly for a 'cousin' photo shoot!  Jen's brother was in town with this two kids....We haven't had professional photos for the 'cousin' kids since Zach was 9 months old, so that meant we had two more cousins since 2008!

Here are the ones that we think turned out the best.

This is Jen's brother Garrett and his two kids - Scott (5 years old) and London (3 years old)...
