4-H Camps and Swimming Lessons

-

We're ticking our summer activities wish list off and have two more fun activities to add to the list.  This year the kids got to experience 4-H for the first time.  Xavier had an awesome 2 day "Lego Robotics" camp, Loyd made an impressive list of menu items in his "Cooking with Dairy" camp (he even made mozzarella cheese from scratch!), and Maeve and Owen had a blast at 2 days of "Craft Camp."   Plus, everyone got a snazzy new t-shirt perfect for St. Patrick's day!

  

W also managed to squeeze in a week of swimming lessons at the North Summit swimming pool.  It is the same pace I took swimming lessons as a kid!  

John had a super fun time playing in the water with the Preschool class.  Can you spot him in front of the green basket in the picture above?
Owen rocked "Swimming 1" with lots of great bobs under the water and even some very brave and fun trips down the water slide.  

Maeve declined the water slide, but gave her best efforts and did great in "Swim 2"
Xavier got better at overcoming his fear of putting his face in the water, making greats strides in his swimming.  He asks daily when we will go to the pool again to just play around.  

At the end of a busy week we stopped at the local soda shop in Morgan and treated these hard working swimmers to a fun soda treat.

It's About Time We Got Some Snow Around Here

It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!!  We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days.  Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon.  :D  The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out.  Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street  before the kids have to walk to school. The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preference for warm

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
