Danny's deacons campout. He's middle, in a blue shirt.
Toby making noodles in his cooking class.
Charlie and Danny were in the Handcart Days parade with another family in the ward.
Charlie had been begging to make homemade root beer with dry ice, so Paul helped make it happen as their date. It turned out ok, but not super carbonated.
The kids Alice babysits gave her a makeover!
Alice has been really into giving everyone henna tattoos.
Farmington Bay drive with Paul one morning.
How loud can you scream?! (They all did it silently, thankfully.)
The air conditioning has been running constantly since it's been so insanely hot outside. The kids wanted to wear bathrobes.
Our little monk.The girls refilling the washer fluid.
Grace's photo after working at the temple one night.
He won. By design.
I was the judge.
Freddy's on the way to our camping trip.
It has been so miserably hot for weeks and weeks. The forest was calling!
The kids LOVED playing in the creek.
Notice he insists on wearing church shoes no matter where we go. He takes after his Grandpa Flake. Now we just need to get Grandpa a sleeveless Utah Jazz jersey!
Yoga while waiting for Paul and the other boys to set up the big tent.
These girls were proud of themselves after setting up and staking down their own tent.
The boys love whittling.Resting and card games.
Alice's pants got wet in the creek.
The girls' tent back in the woods.
Cooler the next morning.
Cocoa with breakfast.
And mini donuts.
Grace found a cool slug they named Abraham Gelato.
The forest is our happy place:)
People were pretty tired when we got home.
Baked potatoes for the at-home crew.
