While the Parks were here...

Sarah, Danny, and kids came to visit the end of July and stayed for awhile... It was great to see them..

Danny stayed for a week and then had to head back home to Ohio and work. They had driven out here and stopped and visited with his parents in Cheyenne before coming our way.

While he was here there was Karakoke, guitar playing, yo-yo tricks, and a trip to Lagoon. None of the pictures from Karaoke or guitar night worked so.. Sorry Danny there are no pictures to show you were here... We do have pictures of the August family party that took place at Loreen and Salagi's church on July 26th... (pictures above) We played "Are you smarter than a 5th grader" and thought ourselves quite smart.

Notice also in different pictures Sam and Emily both got hair cuts... Emily wanted her hair to be like Kialie's.

Sarah and the kids stayed another week and enjoyed more fun. Also, while the Parks were here we had people over to visit ... and to eat... The blogger gets a bit caught up in visiting and forgets to take pictures of everyone...

Pictures of singing with the kids (Gavin and parents)

And of the barbecue master practicing his trade...

Go Salagi!!!

We went swimming at the public pool and had a blast!! All of the kids Sam, Emi, Kialie, and Freddy were like fish and we practically had to pull them out of the water... Brooklynn was content to be in for a little while and then take a nap with grandma in the shade...

Danny's sister had a new baby girl while they were here so they got to go see her and also go to Wheeler farms with Grandma Parks and Caleb and Parker...

There was a Putnam reunion and Sarah and kids went to Star Valley to visit there as well as Mom and Kim and Leslie.

Val, Sarah, and kids went to Bear Lake and met up with Kristi, Janine, and Lacy and had a great time.

We went to the Dinosaur park in Ogden

The kids loved the Dinosaur park and it was really cool. Large life like dinosaurs that made lots of noise (and scared Freddy) There was a playground that allowed them to continue getting all sorts of energy out.

After the dinosaur park we went to a drive in and got yummy food in Roy and then played at a park...

One of the favorite past times was the trampoline. Many an hour were spent and dirty feet gained by jumping on the trampoline. The best part of having them here was being able to see the intelligent way that Sam's mind works and how he loves to organize and set up intricate games. It was so fun to see Emily perform (she says she was born for the stage) and how she knows songs word for word- She and her dad performed 'More than words' by eXtreme. It was so great to just laugh and play and enjoy their company. It is always fun to have Sarah around and enjoy her friendly and fun personality and her creativity. We wish they lived closer. Love you guys!!!
