Summer Wrap-up

I thought I'd wrap up our summer vacation to Utah with a few of our favorite photos and memories. We rode the alpine slide and coaster, went swimming and shopping, played with friends and cousins, and had a great time with our Grandpas and Grandmas! It all made for a fun summer.

Kristie, Ruth, Margaret & Kathy had a good time catching up with each other. It's the first time in a long time that we've all been together. We spent an evening at Ruth's parents talking and the next morning getting manicures and pedicures together. It was really fun to be together again, even if it was only for a short time!



One funny moment of the summer was when I went to leave my parents house to go to Ruth's. My mom was out of town, so I had to wait for my dad to return from a business trip to leave the house. (I didn't think it would be wise to leave 4 sleeping children home alone.) When he got home, I asked him if he would listen for the kids while I went out. He looked at me and said, "But it's 11 o'clock at night!" To which I replyed, "And I'm 35!" I guess parent never really stop worrying about their children, no matter how old they get!

Kelsie & Meghan had fun with their cousins Henry and Leah. We were all together with Grandma Cummings at Moroni's wedding. It was a really nice night.

Kelsie & Meghan with their best friends Everett & Matthew made these signs for their big High School Musical 2 Premiere party. They planned everything by themselves. They came up with the menu, made assignments and hosted the party. It was a huge success! Their menu consisted of: Burgers a la Buzz (thanks Grandpa!), chips and salads, blue punch with umbrellas in the cups (like Sharpay drinks), and eclairs and sugar cookies for dessert.

This is the other sign the kids made for the party. This sign welcomed everyone as they came in the door -- along with the soundtrack playing all throughout the house and on the back patio (thanks Grandma!)

After dinner we watched the premiere!! Joe, Kristie & Grandpa figured out how to show it movie theater size on the side of Joe's garage while we all sat with chairs and blankets on Buzz park. We had tons of people come watch it with us. It was a great way to end a fun summer vacation!
