Bear Lake - Beach Fun

Josh loved playing in the mud while at the lake.  There was a little island that was out a ways and the kids all loved playing on it. 

Josh in his "hot tub" on the island.  The water was really shallow for a long ways, so perfect for the kids.

Megan playing in the sand.  It was a little too cold for her and she didn't last very long at the water before wanting to go back to the house.

Tyler watch most the movie, Josh watched about half and then watched Hayden play the I pad, and Megan watched about ten minutes before she started playing with other stuff.  A good time was had by all.

Camp Out In The Back Yard

I got Tony a new tent last year for Father's Day because our old one was...well old.  But we never got it out last year and used it so we have been talking about getting it out this summer.
We decided today would be a good day because soccer games are now over, the weather is nice and warm, and we had the time.

We decided not to tell the boys about it and make it a surprise.  After swim lessons I took the boys to the church where they were having a fun movie night for the primary kids.  They took blankets and pillows and watched a movie in the culture hall on a big projector.  They had popcorn, soda, and treats for all the kids to enjoy while they watched the movie.  They had a good time.

While the boys were at the church watching the movie I went back home to help Tony put up the tent.  It went up pretty fast and Megan LOVED helping us put up the tent.  It was nice and easy to put up and it is really roomy inside.  We like the nice big tents.
After the tent was all up we got out the air mattresses and blew them up.  I am happy to say that they still look great and don't have any holes (at least they didn't when they went to bed tonight).

After everything was all set up, Megan and I went and picked up the boys at the church.  The movie wasn't quite over so we hung out in the hall until it was over.  I told the boys I had a surprise for them at home and they were so excited to see what it was.  Tyler thought it might be a pool, he was wrong.

They were very happy to see the tent and they had a great time playing in and out of the tent before bedtime.  We let them stay up late until it was getting dark and I think they were happy to go to sleep.
I hope that they all sleep good outside and that no one will need to come inside at any point.  I would have slept outside if I didn't have to pee a million times a night.  So I get the house to myself tonight.  Let's hope everyone gets a good night sleep tonight.
