• This week we started getting into a new routine now that it's summer vacation. We organized the boring stuff...chores, reading time, learning time, and started doing the fun things too!
• We bought a Lehi Outdoor Pool pass and went swimming on Monday since it was almost 100 degrees. We met up with Elizabeth, Sea, and Matai and Addy and Sea even climbed the rock wall over the water.
• From Wednesday to Friday Addy and the rest of our Girl Scout Troop attended Day Camp with the theme "Camp Rocks". They had a blast and all of them were sad it ended on Friday. I was lucky enough to be the adult leader on Wednesday and spend time with the girls at camp. It was fun for all of them to be together but also be with 100 other Girl Scouts from our area.They learned dances, made up skits, made jewelry, sand art, went on a hike, learned about rocks, and made tambourines.
• I was shocked that they were served Little Caesars Pizza for lunch the first day, Chick Fil-A the second day, and Texas Road House the third day. Lucky Girls! What happened to hot dogs and tinfoil dinners? I'm just glad they had so much fun! It was worth selling all those cookies for these fun memories.

• The whole troop except for Jayda. We were sad she couldn't make it. Kennley, Addy, Alyssa, Clara, Paige, Emma. 

• On Thursday night Todd came home a little early from work (7:30pm) YAY! and so we went over to Gene Harvey Chevrolet where they were having a car show for oldie cars. It really was fun to look at all of them. My favorites were the '57 Bel Air and the oldie car that had a rumble seat...my personal favorite!
• Friday evening we met up with the Ross family at the outdoor pool. Brynn got really brave and jumped off the HIGH DIVE! I'm a little scared when I go up that high but Todd promised her ice cream if she'd jump off and three seconds later she did! We couldn't believe it! Brynn earned her treat that night and she wouldn't let any of her siblings join her because she earned that herself.
• Saturday was beautiful outside so we took a family bike ride. It was nice not to bring the bike trailer along this time. Since Brynn can't ride THAT far we drove to some of the offices outside Thanksgiving Point and rode our bikes from there. Bodee was in a bike seat on the back of my bike and was in heaven since he loves to ride on the back of my bike. Brynn rode all the way up the hills and when got to Thanksgiving Point the kids chose Blue Moon Bubblegum ice cream. (One of my favorites from childhood.) It really was a nice family outing.
• Just so I don't forget...Bodee loves to play rough, he's such a boy! He really likes to play rough with his dad but when he dad isn't around he'll go for his sisters. On Saturday night he started pulling Brynn's hair and laughing. Of course Brynn starts bawling. She gets so mad she kicks him down on the bed with both feet. Bodee just laughs and gets up to go get her again. I see this happening so I pin Bodee down and tell him to "be nice to Brynn" he tells me "K". I then tell him again he needs to be nice but then he just gives me this huge grin which in turns causes me to start laughing. This boy is too funny! These girls better watch out:)
• Bodee also LOVES gum. He asks for it a dozen times a day. He really is responsible with it. When he's done with it he either gives it to me or puts it in the garbage. He just loves to chew it all day long. I hope this is just a phase.
