Week 8: Summer Fun

We checked out the new Splash Pad near the Highland City offices this week. It was a little hard to find, but once we got there it was really fun. The kids spent a couple hours playing in the water with some of their cousins.
I love this picture...only thing less WT than just his butt showing is his Nascar underwear showing.


I have no pictures to prove this, but we also used up some discount passes we had to Jumping Jacks on Thursday and later had a picnic dinner at Gabe's work.

Friday we did our best to honor the Pioneers by celebrating the day in fine fashion.

We actually out did ourselves in celebration this year. It helped that Gabe had the day off, whereas he's had to work the last couple of Pioneer Days. The big boys ran in a mile kids run first thing in the morning. GT#2 got off to a bit of a rocky start. He fell at the beginning and was trampled a little. I was really proud of him for getting up and running his heart out. He even beat his big brother, but lets not rub that in.

We joined some of my family for the Spanish Fork Parade and then trusted the Carnies with the children's lives. Afterwards we drove up the canyon to join the Poulsen family in some pioneer games and parade, food and prizes, and fun with cousins. The big boys especially enjoyed the zip line.








I think the highlight in Gabe's week was his homemade sushi. To each his own.
