Some like it Hot !

July 2008

Summer is here and it is hot. We enjoyed a mild spring through the first of June. We then took a sudden sprint toward Summer and quickly we were at 90+ degrees. Scott is like a popcicle in this weather, always melting. Heather likes the heat and welcomes it.

The kids have enjoyed time away from school and have spend many a days at the water park keeping cool.

Scott has managed to get out fishing more this year than in times past. James and Brad have accompanied him a few times and have caught the fishing "bug". Suprisingly James likes to eat watch he catches. Haley went once, only once. After begging the boys to throw back every fish they caught she was no longer invited to go (:

In a recent outing to a local reservoir James caught the biggest fish in the place. About 18-19 inches and roughly 3 lbs. Not bad for a small reservoir.

We recently left the world behind and went camping up in the mountains. The kids loved making smores and building a fire. I can do without the lously sleep you get in a tent, but the memories are quite worth it. Suprisingly it got really cold at night. I think I'm going to build my next home up there.

We enjoyed a patriotic 4th of July. We started out at the local "Provo parade", one of the largest 4th of July parades in the West. We then ate at big Jim's diner which is fast becoming a tradition - mostly because of their huge portions. That afternoon we spent gathered with a handfull of neighbors bar-b-q ing, throwing water balloons, and swimming in the neighbors pool. The night was capped off with "a lot" of fireworks.

God bless America !

Love the Beans.
