BACK TO SCHOOL

Kelsi, Jacob, Sam

First day back to school--YAY! I can't believe it's Karissa's first year of Junior High!--she has to go 1 hour earlier than the other kids. We are very excited about starting school again and getting back into a routine.

We took the kids on a great little hike in Pleasant Grove to see the waterfall. It was GREAT! The kids thought it was alright, but Bryan and I had the most fun...and we decided we need to do some hiking with just the two of us.

I'm Just So Excited...

Sam: "I can't get to sleep."
Mom: "Why?"
Sam: "Because I'm just so excited."
Mom: "What are you so excited for?"
Sam: "You know...getting up in the morning and watching TV and eating breakfast...and I'm especially excited for LUNCH!"

Who Knew? --All I had to do is feed him breakfast and lunch and turn the TV on! Why have I been trying so hard to entertain him all summer?!?

FUN at Liberty Land

We had a blast at Liberty Land. It wasn't crowded at all---we did a little of everything. We played Laser tag, which was AWESOME. We rode the roller coaster at least 15 times, drove the cars, played in the water boats--which get you surprisingly wet, and did some rock climbing. A family night full of FUN!

Water fight!--
--Kelsi and Jacob against Karissa and Sam

Yes, that's ME (in the green shirt) climbing up there.
This is BIG for me...
I'm rather scared of heights and it was quite the accomplishment
for me to climb up. The kids, on the other hand, took the climbing very breezy.
