Just havin' a bit of fun

I've been a little obsessed lately with my newly remembered mission in life: TO FOCUS ON THE RELATIONSHIPS IN MY FAMILY. Translated: Getting our bunnuchies out of the house and doing as many fun things as possible. That means I've been trying to get the work done during the day, therefore, my computer time has pretty much been eliminated. But it's worth it. I can feel the love growing. My house isn't any cleaner, but I'm trying not to care as much. Anyway, here's some of what we've been doing:

I've lived near the Great Salt Lake my WHOLE life, and I've never actually seen it. So a couple of weeks ago, we packed our hiking gear and went for a day of hiking along the lush, wooded trails of Antelope Island (At least that's what I was expecting). When we got there, I was sorely disappointed. There is not a tree on the entire island, and our hiking consisted of walking along a mile of flat, salty sand to get to the water. We still had fun, however, in spite of the bugs that seemed to be immune to our bug spray. I felt the mama bear instincts arouse in me as little bugs constantly bit my babies. GRRRRRR!



This is our newly adopted member of the family, Allison. Not really, but we do try to get her to spend as much time with us as she can stand.

We love having a nice park and pool close by. We've been able to do late evening swims a couple of times, and it's awesome!

Allison and I took her nieces and my 2 little ones to Gateway. Lincoln was the only one brave enough to go into the cold water fountains. He was so cute with his wet T-shirt clinging to his chubby little belly.

I have some other blog ideas cooking, but this will have to do for now. My laundry and kitchen floor await...
