Soccer has ended (thank goodness!).  The multiple practices and games were a bit of a challenge every week, but Katlyn and Lauren had fun.  We will let them pick something new in the fall when it cools back off.

 

 

We spend Memorial Day hiking around the Valley of Fire.  Truth be told, it is a lot like Red Rock, just a whole lot more of it.  There were some indian hieroglyphics that were neat too.  The kids just love crawling all over the cubby holes and hills of rock.

Madelyn was a little put off when we went on an actual trail.  Too hot.  Too tired. Too hungry (even though we had just had a picnic).  Too thirsty.  The list goes on.

Looking down on their hard work.

Bryn thought we were at the beach.

My dad also made a visit for Caleb's blessing.

However, my grandfather passed away, so while we were in Arizona for the funeral we were able to take some time to gather with lots of family to bless him.  The only picture I have right now is me with my sibs.  It was so nice to gather together with our family and remember my grandpa.  We will miss him.

We had some time to ourselves one day in Arizona and were able to have some wet fun.  We found a perfect mini waterpark that had a regular pool with diving boards, a lazy river, swirly toilet bowl corner, a couple big slides, and a nice big tike area.  It was perfect for our family.
