Our Summer Days

Most of our summer days were spent at the Surf and Slide water park this year. The boys and I would go almost every weekday for 2 or 3 hours. There was a couple new additions to the pool this year, a lazy river which all the boys loved and a flow rider surf machine which none of the boys would even try. Most of the time we would meet friends there so the kids had fun swimming and playing in the sand with their friends and I had fun watching the boys swim and visiting with friends. Gage did a session of swim lessons and did really well, he's very aggressive in the water and a really good swimmer which is not his personality, I'm glad he did so well. Jett refused to do swim lessons, which is just Jett. He is a good swimmer too, we go so often that he swims great, go's in the deep end, puts his head under, everything, he just refuses to take formal swim lessons. And Case is my aggressive kid that would do just about anything his older brothers would do, I followed close behind him in the water and more than once he would either jump or walk out deeper than he was and I would have to pull him out! I'm ready for fall weather, but I'll miss going to the pool, my kids love it and it wears them out completely.

McCall

We spent last weekend in McCall, Idaho for a Christensen family reunion and we had so much fun. McCall is beautiful! The kids had fun boating, swimming and playing in the sand, and even more fun since they were with all of their cousins. Aunt Kim and Uncle Gary did so much work to put it all together, THANK YOU! We had such a great time seeing everyone and getting caught up with each others lives, I am so blessed to have married into and be a part of such a wonderful family!
