July 9-10 was Steel Days.  We went to the carnival, quilt and doll show, art show, book fair, swimming, parade, geocache treasure hunt, and car show.  We stayed very busy and had lots of fun.  The kids wish we had bought more carnival tickets, four rides each was just not enough, I will try to do better next time.

Calvin wanted to try the Ferris wheel and Bridget was brave enough to ride too.  They really liked it!

Sterling loved the bus in the parade.

The kids got quite a stash of hard candy.

Geo Cache:  We found the GPS locations and learned a little about the city history.

Each kid chose their favorite car to get a picture by…of course Bridget chose the pink Cadillac.

Sterling is the “big fish” around here.  He loves “fishies” so he had to have the fish pj’s.

The month of June was super busy.  Ammon and I both went to Youth Conf and Girls Camp.  Not only did we go as leaders, but we had to prepare for the activities and clean up too (but that is a given :).  Anyway, the kids were troopers, spending a few nights at Driel and Evans (Thank you, thank you!) while we were gone.  I enjoyed the opportunities, but am very glad to be home, clean, have my own bed, and be with my kids!

Eating dinner the first night of Youth Conf.

Sterling all beautiful with his own make up job.  He must put on make up whenever Mom does!

Busy June ended with summer weather and the start of boat season!
