We spent some fun filled days at my parents house and the boys loved every second of it. Check out my Moms blog to find pictures of our trip. Thanks Mom for posting so soon and taking such fun pictures. The boys get spoiled by all their aunts, uncle, and Grandma and Grandpa. We started off the trip by taking the new front runner down to Salt Lake. It is the trax train that goes from North Ogden to Salt Lake. The boys loved the train and after we got off in SL, we went to Gateway to let the boys play in the fountains. We try to do this every summer and the boys love it. We were also able to take them to the Hogle Zoo. It was a pretty cool day for the middle of August and we were able to make it through the zoo and see most of the animals. We also took the boys mini golfing, played lots of old maid, and enjoyed all our time with family.
Then we headed to Flaming Gorge with Greg's family. My mom was nice enough to watch Crew for us (Thanks Mom) . Greg's parents, his sister Liz and her family, and our family were able to go. We had such a great time and it was so fun to spend some quality time with Greg's family. We wish everyone would have been able to come. (Just know that you were missed) But, we still managed to have a great time. We spent 2 1/2 days on the lake waterskiing and boating. The boys loved the ski board and became pros by the end. Greg skied so much he came home with blisters all over his hands, but he was so happy to do what he loves most. I skied once, and enjoyed watching the kids and Greg the rest of the time. Greg's Dad (he is going to be 67 soon) slalom skied twice. It was fun to watch him. Good job Ron. We were rarely at camp, pretty much only to eat and sleep. We enjoyed some great dutch oven cooking by my brother-in-law. (Thanks Steve) Greg's sister Liz has 5 girls (who are so well behaved) and it was so fun to see them and the boys get along with their cousins so well. It took a day for the boys to warm up because we don't get to see them that often, but by the end they didn't want to leave. Thanks to everybody who planned and made this trip possible for our family. We loved it!
Well Monday school starts and it is time to make dinner every night, do homework, get kids to various activities, and get into a normal everyday routine. We have had such an amazing summer and made so many wonderful family memories. We are thankful that Greg's job allows him to take time off work. We love spending time with our kids and we are thankful that we get to show and do many different things with them.
Watch for all of our pictures to post. I need to catch up on laundry and bills first!

Summers are the perfect time to make family memories. Sounds like you made good use of yours :)
Can't wait to see Cannon twice a week.
Sounds like you guys have had a fun couple of weeks! You are such a great mom Emily, I hope my kids are as cute as yours.
I MISS ALL OF YOU! I definitely got spoiled having Crew here for more than a week (with you some of the time) and we are in Crew withdrawal! He was so good and so much fun. Glad you could have a great time with DeVries'. They are wonderful! Love you so much and can't wait for the Seattle trip....GO COUGARS! Love you and miss you.
Glad you guys have had such a great summer. But I CANNOT believe school starts monday!! I knew this summer would fly by way too fast.
I am so stressed out about school starting! I thought this was supposed to be a sigh of relief, but it is proving to be quite the opposite! I hope all gets settled in your life before you take more on! Good Luck!!!!
thanks for taking time to be in Utah while I was...it was so great to be with all of you! can't wait for Seattle!
The time we got to spend with your family at the Gorge was wonderful. Thanks for making the long trip over to see us. We had a fantastic time...
What a fun summer for you and the family. Sounds like you had great family time. Look forward to seeing all the photos. Good luck with school starting. I must say it was hard getting back to the routine for us. That and staying up watching the Olympics everynight is what I think caused me to catch this awful head cold I have. So my #1 suggestion, catch a nap when Crew's napping while boys are at school. Love ya!!!
you've been busy with some really fun things! Can't wait to see some pictures!
