After our "test" road trip to St. George, we headed north to my parents house in Midway. Jason and I were both getting a little stir crazy in our summer heat and were ready to go to a cooler climate. My sister Sam was staying at my parents too, so our kids played all day every day. We also were up there in time for lots of family activities like Nates baptism, Abbey's wedding, and we also decided to throw in Danny's baby blessing. Then there were other activities like a new hair cut for me, 4th of July fireworks and family pictures, and a day at the "This Is The Place Monument." The best 2 week trip ever!

Really, this pool is the best because the lifeguards let our kids do anything, including going down the big water slide by themselves. On this last trip, Kimball and Jack both decided that the HIGH-dive looked fun. They both jumped off twice. Who are these kids? I don't even like to go off the high dive, but these 2 are always up for an adventure. On the next visit, though, they decided to stick to the low dive.

We had a fabulous time at my parents house. Thanks Mom and Dad for hosting all of us for those 2 weeks, it was the best post-partum recovery location ever. And thanks Sammy, for sharing mom and dads house with our crazy family. Hope my kids were too bad of an influence.
