fun fun fun!

Is summer almost over? I think I blinked and that was that. It's good we've had a lot of fun. This past week was my family reunion. It was a stay-cation to do some things we don't get to do around here too much. We had a tour of the conference center from my mom who is a host missionary there.


We also spent a night at Little America. It was totally worth it alone for the pool access and to see my kids turn from being totally afraid of the water, to fish. I was so proud of them and by the end they jumped in all by themselves and went all the way under. This is a milestone at the Maughan household.





We liked the super-cozy beds and staying up late watching nature shows too.


Kate had a good time at this is the place heritage park (even though it was like a thousand degrees).



But I have to admit that the highligt was Cherry Hill. Since that's only like 2 minutes away from my house I'm going to have to invest in season passes in the future. Woot woo swimsuit girl! It was so fun to see my sisters and their families to to just be bums for a few days.


This is what happens when you leave the room for a few minutes and think to yourself, "It's so nice that Kate isn't really mobile yet...I wonder when we'll have to start baby-proofing the house?"


She rolled across the room to get a watercolor picture Josh had done. He was in tears. I hope it's non-toxic.

Then on the 24th we decided to do a family hike up Centerville canyon. There was tons of posion ivy and we even saw a rattlesnake. A family friendly hike for sure.



If you get offended by nudity you better stop reading now. This is what happens when I bring up the wrong underwear for Josh to wear. Notice how they are thrown in the background. All the superhero squad ones were in the wash and The Incredibles just wouldn't do. He's really wierd when it comes to clothes. I hope it's not a bad sign for the future......this tantrum lasted at least 30 minutes. I thought the girls were supposed to be the drama queens?



And last but not least we did our first family camping trip. We went up Farmington Canyon. We had a blast despite a million bugs. The highlight was playing in the tent and a hike up to the beaver ponds. Kate had the best time. I think she'll be a hiker when she gets bigger because she laughed the whole time we were hiking.
