Fun In The Sun

We have had a pretty busy summer so far.  We have spent a lot of time outdoors playing in the water and sun.  We went to the splash pad in Riverdale a few weeks ago with the Gabrish family.  The water is always too cold, so the kids didn't spend much time in the water.  They played on the playground and rolled around, doing tricks in the grass. 

This past week, Cooper got to spend 3 days up in Smithfield with Addey and Jaden.  He had such a great time up there.  They participated in a sports camp in Logan.  They also spent time playing on the big water slide, playing board games, going to McDonalds, watching Madagascar 3 in 3D, eating snowcones, and taking their band to the nearby park to perform for money.  (Jaden and Addey on the drums and Cooper singing)

On Wednesday, I met Steph and Jocie up in Brigham City at the pool, so we could swim and so I could pick up Cooper.  It was a nice sunny day, but the temperature was only around 80 and it was a little breezy.  Cooper had a great time playing in the water with his snorkel mask.He spent most of the day under the water. 

As soon as Clayton and I arrived at the pool, Cooper ran out of the pool to give me a big hug.  He then spent some time with Clayton in the water.  Clatyon thought it was fun for a few minutes and then he would get out and say, "me cold". I wrapped him up in two towels and he just sat there and ate nachos, licorice, and pears. 

Cooper had a great time going down the slide.  It was a perfect day for the slide because there was no line.  He went down the slide over and over again.  He also got to spend some time playing with Ty and Jaden.  We ended up staying at the pool for about 3 hours before we headed home. 

While Jocelynn was trying to lay out and catch some rays, we were trying to get the seagulls to swoop down by her head and eat the nachos and pretzels.  We strategically placed them next to her head, but she finally realized what we were doing, before the birds had a chance to attack her.  Would have been so funny!!
