Splash Pad Fun

We headed to Utah County and met Pete's brother and his family and his niece Stephanie and her family at a splash pad.  The kids had such a great time.  It was super hot, so it was the perfect activity for the day.

Irrigation water!

When I was a little girl and we visited my Grandma and Grandpa H. we would play in the irrigation water whenever it flooded my grandparents field.  This happens a few times a week and I just loved playing in the water.  It is one of my very favorite memories of summertime when I was little.  I have never had my kids play in the water, so when my mom talked to my Grandma and we found out the water was going to be flooding her field, my sisters and I decided it was time for our kids to enjoy this wonderful summertime activity from our childhood.  The kids had such a blast!  They can't wait to do it next summer.  I am so sad that I hadn't done it sooner.  The big boys who can swim were able to go in the deep ditches and the littler kids all stayed in the fields and the shallower ditches.  After playing for a couple of hours we topped the day off by eating Pace Astro bars, also a childhood tradition of my family's when we came to visit Grandma and Grandpa's.  By the way if you are ever in Bountiful or Layton, stop at Pace's and get a Rainbow, Pace bar and a burger.  They are out of this world delish!

This is a barn and milk house that is part of my grandparents farm.  So charming.  What a gorgeous view!

What a cute little body!

City Creek!

On July 18, after going to the Pioneer museum, we decided to eat lunch at City Creek Mall and then do some shopping!  What a gorgeous mall!  It was so fabulous and I can't wait to go back.  They had the best play area right by the eating court and so while Cindy and I ate (being mom's we ate last!) everyone else took the kids to the play area and got some fun pictures.  After the kiddies played we strolled the gorgeous mall and enjoyed the creek running through it and looking at the views.  We went to the Disney store and got some fun things for the kids.  It was a fun experience.
