I'm Bored?? Sounds like a good thing!

Being bored can't be to bad of a thing can it??  I'm am ready for the lazy days of summer!  Too many things going on and I'm ready to chill!  My house will thank me and my pocket book.  So we are not planning in advance any activities for July.  I would love to post for you  if any one wants to plan out activities for the month of July.  If anyone wants to head up the bike parade let me know and I can get the word out.  I hope your summer is how you pictured it to be!  I would love to post pictures of all your fun...Keep busy and remember being bored is not always a bad thing...it just makes your kids be creative :)
 Happy Summer to all and to all a good SumMEr!

It's Official...Summer is Here!

 Home from Flaming Gorge! Great time with Great Friends and Awesome teenage boys! Took the Dam tour...watched world class wake boarding...saw some landscape changes (boulders pushed into the lake :) ) saw a few fish caught...ate like teenagers....witnessed some crazy cliff divers.. caught a scorpion...played who can peg the other with a sling shot and a few grapes... going to miss these boys! Last big party, now time to say goodbye as they start heading off on their missions :)  ...That sums up my week!  Hope yours was as great!!  I can hardly believe we are at the end of June and summer is now in full swing.  Days are growing shorter :(  Could do without this heat....but I'm sure I'll  miss it come December :)  So here is what is on next weeks agenda:

Make it Monday...Get yourself ready for Independence Day http://pinterest.com/tammymartin/make-it-mondays/

 Take a Hike Tuesday...Green Pond repeat!  Meet at the church at 9:00 with water, sunscreen and a snack

 Wet Wednesday...Hittin the beach at Pineview!  Meet at the church at 9:30 with water, sunscreen, water and sand toys, life jackets, shade and a lunch

A peek at next weeks fun....

Make it Monday....Decorate your Bikes, Scooters, Trikes, Big Wheels, Unicycles, Wagons and faces for the 4th of July bike parade! This will happen on the 3rd.  I'm thinking in the morning and if there is interest, maybe playing a few games and having a picnic lunch??  Feed back would be awesome!  It's not to fun to plan a big event and have nobody participate :)  Post a comment and so we can decide if we want to keep it just to the parade or a busy afternoon.

Headed off to explore the gorge!

Week of June18th - 22nd

We are off to explore Flaming Gorge!  Summer has been busy for us so far, but after this it will slow down.  With swim lessons going on things have been quite tricky for some of you that have wanted to join us, so hopefully you will have some time to catch us for some summer fun in the next few weeks.  Mandy Wallace may set some things up for the week and I'm sure you will hear about it if she does.  If not.....happy mid-june and hopefully your week is filled with creativity, exploration and a little bit of service :)
