Happy Father's Day to this guy.
The kids are sure lucky to have such a wonderful Dad. Adam goes above and beyond in everything he does.
Last Sunday morning we saw the most brilliant rainbow from our back deck so we had to run out and take a few pictures. Too bad pictures never do it justice.
We also got to babysit a neighbor while her Mom went to ward council since her Dad was out of town. As you can see Aliya got plenty of attention while she was here.
Monday late afternoon there was a big party for the new high school in the Macey's parking lot. They had free hot dogs and drinks, a dunk tank and bouncy house. They also sold T-shirts and hats and all the new apparel for the school. It was very well attended and since they had 6 different shirts that were only $5.00 the kids are all ready to cheer for the Ridgeline Riverhawks in style.
The new Mascot "Splash" was there and grabbed Jameson for a picture. I have no idea who the girl is, probably a cheerleader or something, but I didn't have the heart to tell her to take about 5 steps to the left before I took the picture.
Korinne and Jameson started swimming lessons this week.
Jameson is ok being in water, but he is not a fan of putting his face in the water. We're hoping he'll make some progress this year. Korinne had 1 hr lessons each day for a week and Jameson has a 30 min. lesson for 2 weeks.
Our SOS service project for the week was to pick up trash in our local canyon. We had quite an army of little ones on a treasure hunt for trash.
It's always more fun to do service with friends.
In no time at all the kids had collected 6 garbage bags full of trash. Not bad for less than an hour of work.
The Kirks took Korinne and Jameson on a few 4 wheeler rides this week. When I asked Korinne where the picture that Carrie sent me was taken she said, "Up the canyon". Wow. Apparently I haven't been far enough up to ever see this beautiful sight. Good to know it's there!
All the kids posing on the parked 4 wheeler.
Yesterday Adam and Britton spent the day at our stake Youth Conference. It was one full day starting at 8:30 a.m. and ending around 9:00 p.m.
They had a variety of activities all day long. Bubble ball and the lazer tag were definitely a hit.
The conference had a temple emphasis so all of the kids walked from the stake center to the temple which for is about 10,000 steps.
Britton and friends resting at the park after the long walk and dinner. Adam logged in 20,000 steps during the day long conference. That's a lot of walking.
The 2nd week of summer is now in the books!
