What we did on Summer Break Part 1

We finished out our first year of Homeschool around the middle of June.  This first part of summer was spent swimming, BBQing and spending time with family.  We got up almost every morning and went swimming.  I wanted to do water aerobics.  I did pretty good until MaeMae decided she didn't what to be in her floaty any more and then it popped.  The kids loved it.  They had never been swimming so much and I haven't been swimming that much since I was a kid.

 We celebrated Independence Day and Pioneer Day with a barbecue and fireworks at Grandma & Grandpa T's house.  We took a little field trip up to the Utah State Capital on Pioneer Day after the parade excitement was all over.

 I was fun for the kids to look at the statues, the fountain, the fun displays from the early days and other history of our state.  As usual the Rotunda was the highlight of the trip.  We had fun on their neat elevator also.  It was a gorgeous day and there were very few people at the Capital.

DeeDee loved the Rotunda and really liked everything.
MiMi loved the fossil exhibit.
LeeLee loved the lion statues.
Jussy loved the fountain.
MaeMae loved riding around in the stroller.

It was a lovely day.

July was cooler than expected and was very enjoyable.k
