Misc. July

It seems like summertime we are constantly on the go--- July was no different. For pioneer day we took a tour of the Brigham Young home.  We also went to the Blvd Work party at the Washington Rec Center.  We caught the perfect sunset while playing out on the splashpad.    
-We also had to head out to the Blvd to check out the triple layer bunk beds we are thinking about getting for the cabin. The kids loved them.  Tyler and Marci needed to check them out as well.  Tight but so fun for the cousins.  
-We got concrete laid back in the barn and Lincoln loved watching and helping out in the entire process.  It was fun to watch the boys learn how to do the concrete and Lincoln, Norah, and Cade made sure to put their handprints in the wet concrete.  
-Dress like a cow day at Chik-fil-A was a big hit with the kids (well all for except Isaac who wasnt too happy to have to get dressed up. We headed over with Heidi and her kids to get our free meals for lunch.  Cutest cows around for sure.  
-We also had a fun little water party with some water games and water balloons... complete with popsicles. Summer days are the best.  
-The Boulevard had 'Boulevard World' so we went out to check out the decor, activites, and the dinosaur. It was a fun atmosphere and we always love to see Pops and the other family that works there in action.  
-Lincoln booby trapped Norah when she was sleeping one night. He created Nibbles cage and then added all kinds of little nick nacks all over it.  Poor Norah puts up with so much when sharing a room with Lincoln.  





































We also had our annual Barton Reunion at the Dirt Farm.  While w were loading up, the kids were watching a movie in the van so the Thorley kids had to come out and enjoy the Movie Party in the van.  We had so much fun to relaxing, getting dirty, and playing with cousins.  Sat games were a lot of fun.  Adam and Marci did awesome on the 3 legged race and Lincoln and Andrew were pretty comical to watch.  Overall a great few days.

Brianhead with the Butterfields

Our annual Butterfield get together was in Brianhead this year and turned out so fun. The kids loved having their cousins there to explore and play with.
We went up to Cedar Breaks to check out the amazing views.
Played in the lake..... Cade tried a time or two to go in for a swim.
Some people were nice enough to let Adam and Lincoln and Christian use their fishing poles so they got to fish-- and they actually caught something.  The boys were in heaven (even though Lincoln wanted nothing to do with touching the fish).  
We tried out the tubing run and it was actually pretty fun.  Perfect for younger kids. 
They had a a big car show going on so of course Lincoln and Christian had to have their picture taken by every car. :)  
We then rented a couple of kayaks and had fun out on the lake.  Cade had so much fun that he fell asleep!  Lots of play and too little sleep for sure. 
I always love getting together with family and I love the relationships and bonds that form between the cousins.  So much fun!
