What we have been up to this summer

It has been a great and busy summer.  We have had some family visit us, we have visited family, and we have played around this new area of Boise. 

Mark and Summer came to our place for a couple days for Mark to take the MCAT.  While Mark was busy with the test, we tried to keep Summer's mind off of it by going to the zoo.

 Then the next day we went swimming with them at a lake.

We then went and visited some families in Utah.  We hiked Ensign Peak for the first time. Incredible views!!

And played with other cousins outside in the water.

On the morning of July 4th we enjoyed a parade in Caldwell.  Brad had to work that night, so that was about all our holiday celebration.

 Levi had swimming lessons which he loved.

 And I put on the Olympic games in our home.  The kids and I raced around couches, threw balls, and had a gymnastic floor  routine.  This was our "medal ceremony."

 The kids have enjoyed coloring with chalk alot this summer.  Levi is getting pretty good at actually drawing things instead of just squiggle lines.  He did this "monster" all by himself. 

We also went to the cabin and had a great time enjoying nature.

 Levi's cousin Evelyn is a dare devil when it comes to tubing, she wanted it faster and faster and faster!

So far it has been a great summer and we still have another family reunion to make it to.
