The 4th and family

We had a fun and action jam-packed week. Starting off with the 4th. We headed to Grandma and Grandpa's for fun with all the fam. Before we left we put our red bows in and painted faces. I'm glad I took pictures in the car . . . since I didn't take any more pretty much the rest of the day. Slips my mind.

Whitney wanted a patriotic rapunzel sun. Of course Travis wanted McQueen.

Hailey - I didn't even attempt. She was plenty happy as is.

We went to the parade, played basketball, went on a sweet huge downhill slip n' slide, barb-b-que'd, then of course fireworks.

The next day we packed up and got ready for the Rasmussen reunion in park city. We had a blast this year. It was fun to watch all the kids play together. I'm also in love with a wii game Amy brought - just dance - good times! It was fun to all be together. Highlights for me: hockey :), dancing, seeing my prego sisters, talking and playing games with fam. Here's all the cousins.

We partied hard. Thursday we all crashed. I didn't realize how tired we all were until we had a minute to sit and relax. Thanks for all the fun and good food family!

The "Res"

Saturday we ventured to what Spanish Fork calls "The res." It's a reservoir where on one side they put sand. Our own artificial beach. The water is usually a few degrees above freezing and kind of smells like fish. This year, the water was surprisingly tolerable. Hailey didn't hesitate to dive right in. We had to watch her like a hawk. But apparently she learned from her first dive to just do knee deep. Don't you love that little body?

We made sandcastles, lakes, and rivers.

We took our raft. Whitney was the first to jump in.

Followed by Hailey, who took a short ride.

Travis really got into it. He paddled and all.

Hailey had a great routine. play in the water, then sit and eat. repeat.

Of course we had to bury the kids.

And that wraps up our trip to the "res" it was a lot of fun and we played hard. That evening we attended our spanish fork cafe rio for the first time and ate at the park. We're loving the summer fun and chill time.
