Summer 2009
"Oh what do you do in the summer time, when all the world is green?"
(warm water mud holes at Bear Lake that Gib and Miles loved...along with all the leeches)
Gib was Grandpa's sidekick at Cherry Hills. Grandma's dog Lindee got lost the the kids made homemade signs and distributed them along with a $5 reward.
Make plans to join the dark...
Gib and Miles and their undying love to join the forces.
These girls love to match...EVERYTHING! They wanted to play beauty salon and have their hair done the same.
Is that what you do?
Becca had a great idea to take the kids to see thier grandparents graves. It was so cool for JY to see all those he is named after. They loved visiting the cemetary and finding thier ancestors. Very COOL!
And have to be brave?

The 3 person bunkbed we love... Picking anything is always fun from Grandma's garden.
Do you play at the park?
We had a picnic at the park with Great Grandma. Brinley feeding Maddy grapes...oh the life!

JY loves his cousins...especially little Jaxton. Gib has even begun calling himself Jaxton around the house since we have been home and won't answer unless you call him by Jaxton.
Do you get breakfast in bed?
Maddy's 7th Birthday....we gave her breakfast in bed.

Or swim like your dead?
Gib has a fascination with swimming like this?? He being completely under water. He makes me FEAR! We took swim lessons and he sat yelling from the side..."Hey Teacher, I can do this by myself!" I threatened him to not move off the steps. The week we got home we swam with friends and I heard him floating around to all the kids in the pool asking them if they wouldn't mind taking off his floaties???

Driving a boat around Newport Harbor. Erik even gave each kid a chance to steer...made us fear for some of the boats we got close to, but they LOVED it!
Do you go on a hike?
Johnny took us all on a great hike up at Bear Lake.

Do you get to eat cake?
Birthdays!! Mads turned 7 and two weeks later JY turned 5!! The only thing he wanted was to celebrate his birthday with his Grandpa's, Grandma's, cousins, aunts and uncles. NO PARTY...he just asked to have everyone he mentioned sing to him!

I don't remember where JY even got this bag?? Maybe in the mud pool Miles and Gib found. It was his version of a beach in a bag. They all wanted to take them back to the cabin.
