Mustang Days!

Last week was the highly anticipated Lovell Mustang Days. We took advantage of all the fun things going on and had fun doing it. Thursday night, we attended the Follies. It was a great show again this year!

All three boys got rose stickers from one of the dollies while we were waiting to go inside.

 Friday, we ran to Billings to do some shopping and then got home in time to go to family fun night. We ate our hot dog meal first, then the boys made their way around to the different games.

They had a cowboy theme this year, which made for fun pictures!

 Saturday was the parade. They moved the start time up to 10 and it was so nice for it to not be so hot while we were watching. The kids got tons of candy this year and had fun hanging out with their cousins while they enjoyed the parade.

After the parade, we had a picnic at Grandma Dorothy's house with some of Christian's aunts and uncles that were in town for Lovell's Days. When lunch was over, we met up with Grandpa and Grandma Foulger at the lake and spent the afternoon on the boat. We all skied once and then we let the boys play in the water and cliff jump. I think they could have gone all evening!

Grandpa got up on his first try on the slalom

I think these smiles were a result of someone claiming to have peed in the water making it warm!

Carson wanted to try and sit on top of the kneeboard...it didn't work very well.

Happy faces!

A very tired Landon on our ride home from the lake!

When we got home from the lake, we ate some greek food we picked up on our way, played some Frisbee as a family and then made some smores for dessert! It was such a great day to be together as a family!

Day camp

To end out our marathon weeks, Carson and I went to cub scout day camp all day Saturday (June 18). It was super hot, but the boys all loved being there. I'm pretty sure the best part of the day was when they finally got to do the rock wall!

Trying out archery.

 Climbing the rock wall. If they climbed to the top, there was a button to push that made an alarm sound so all would know someone had made it to the top!

2016 Summer Bucket List!

We finally made our summer bucket list about a week ago. We have already been able to mark some off! Here's to a great summer!

Last Days of Vacation

Tuesday, we got up and headed to the Aquarium in Draper. The boys LOVED seeing all the fish and were excited to touch the sting rays and star fish.

Getting a closer look at some fish.

Measuring up to a great white shark. Yikes!

 One of the coolest places was the shark tunnel. We sat and watched the sharks, rays and other fish swim by for quite a while.

After we were done with the aquarium, we grabbed some Chik-fil-e for lunch and headed back to Logan to stay another night with Megan. We got there about 4, changed and headed out to the lake. We all learned how to surf behind their boat. We all thought it was fun...Landon hated every minute that he was out there! He was crying about trying it even before he got in the water, but we made him try it with

Travis tried it first and did a pretty good job. He would get up for a bit and then fly over the top of the board and crash. He tried several times in hopes to stay up longer, but couldn't quite get it. 

Carson got up on his first try and loved it! He was a natural!

Christian got it too!

 Jabin let Travis ride with him  so that he could get the feel of it and hopefully stay up longer. The smile on his face was priceless while he was going with Jabin!

 

Then it was Landon's turn! Poor guy was not happy about us making him do it! We even tried bribing him with jerky and Aggie ice cream, but it didn't change his mind about doing it.

He was instantly happy once they were done and just got to play in the water for a while.

After boating, we had 5 guys burgers for dinner and then had Aggie ice cream as promised to Landon.
