July 2015

July was kind of the month of sickness for us. The kids were sick almost the entire month. Even though we've been sick we've still managed to have a little fun in the past month.

4th of July 

For the 4th of July we went to my parent's house.  A ton of my cousins were there and it was really fun.  The kids swam before dinner then we did some fireworks that night. The boys loved fireworks this year.  Link burned himself really bad on a sparkler so after that he was a little scared of fireworks.

We've spent a lot of time outside and doing fun summer activities, and a lot of time with the boys cousins.

Cascade Springs

We love Cascade Springs.  The boys love to walk around and look for snakes and fish.  

Salem Pond

The boys love going to Salem Pond with their cousins.

Thanksgiving Point

We bought a Thanksgiving Point membership and the boys have loved it!  They love everything there especially the Museum of Natural Curiosity.    

Bridal Veil Falls

We went to Bridal Veil Falls with some the boys cousins.  The boys love bridal veil falls they love to walk around in the water and feed the fish.  They always have fun with their cousins.  

Fiesta Days

Every 24th of July Spanish Fork has Fiesta Days.  There are so many fun activities for 2 weeks straight and it's so much fun.  Jordan's family always celebrate the 24th together.  We go to the rodeo one night and then the parade and to Jordan's parents on the 24th.  There were a lot of other fun activities throughout the week that we went to.  We went to an outdoor movie Big Hero 6 at the sports park, the boys were actually surprising good.  They loved it!  

Outdoor Movie

Jacks really liked the rodeo.  Not really for the rodeo but just to spend time with his cousins.  Link had a harder time at the rodeo he got so bored and just wanted to run around the whole time.   

On the 24th of July we went to the Parade with Jordan's family.  The boys were really good and had a lot of fun watching the parade with their cousins.  

Jackson's face is so weird in this picture!

 After the parade we went to Jordan's parent's house.  We ate and then swam.  Jordan's mom rented a huge water slide and Jacks loved it.  Link went down it before there was water on it and he kind of face planted and got a little hurt so he was terrified of the slide for the rest of the day and wouldn't go anywhere near it.  Link swam in the little pool and just kind of ran around.  Jacks had a lot of fun swimming and playing with his cousins.

After swimming we went home for a while then went to Jordan's brother's house that night and did some fireworks.  The boys love fireworks!  After fireworks we went to the old ball park in Spanish Fork to watch the city fireworks.  It was a really fun day.  

We were suppose to go to Bear Lake at the end of July for a couple of weeks.  My extended family goes every year for 5 days.  We haven't been for 3 years because it's just so hard with little kids.  We had planned to go this year and Jacks was so excited.  My parents set up their tent in their back yard a few days before and Jacks was so excited!  He absolutely loved it and talked about how he wanted to go camping and sleep in a tent.  We got pink eye and Jacks had an ear infection on top of it right before we were suppose to go so had to cancel our trip.  Jacks was so disappointed. He cried saying he wanted to camping.  He had been so excited and then didn't end up getting to go. I'm really hoping that we can go camping in August to make up for our missed Bear Lake trip.  It probably won't be as exciting as Bear Lake but he'll at least get to sleep in a tent.  

We had some fun in July but we really spent a lot of time home just trying to recover from all of our different illnesses.  We're still sick but I'm hoping we recover quick and get to have a little more fun in August.
