Trampoline Fun

Another fun activity at Snow Bird was some trampoline/bungee set-ups that let the kids (and adults) jump super high and do a ton of flips. Hours were spent on those tramps.

Alpine Slide

One of the fun parts of Snowbird was the Alpine Slide. You take a chair lift up to the top of a bunny hill and then sitting on a wheeled sled you go down a track for 45 to 60 seconds and a pretty good clip. My kids loved this and did it at least a dozen times.

July Birthday Week

The second week in July is one full of birthdays for our family. First is Dallyn's, 9 this year, then comes Mom's, Heidi's, and finally Aunt Amy's. Always a super fun filled week.

Here is a fun picture of Heidi, with Aunt Amy and the boys, on her 30th birthday, just a few months before being diagnosed with Breast Cancer.
 
Dallyn loved his birthday, filled with the traditional personal choice sugar cereal/BYU cup breakfast, Captain Crunch and Lucky Charms. And of course lot's of fun presents. His main present was a Nintendo DS portable video game system, but he also loved Legos and match box cars from his siblings, money and a cool CTR ring from Grandparents and a cool BYU football helmet and Jersey. Doesn't he look like he belongs in that uniform, 10 years from now, who knows ... We also went as a family, with the special treat of having Grandma and Grandpa Black being in town, to go see the hilarious Despicable Me 2.

Week of July 6

Dallyn and Kyler both completed their 2 week swim lessons at the rec. center. They made incredible improvements from the start of their lessons. Both of their instructors felt they were incredible swimmers with lots of potential. Following right in the path of Dad and big brother Cam. It was also fun one day to do a work out with all four, Dad, Cam, DJ, and Kyler (modified for each based on capabilities.)
 
 
 
 


While working int he yard this past weekend, the wind picked up really hard suddenly and as I looked up the clouds were swirling in a circle. No funnel ever appeared but it was still a bit crazy for Utah.
