Providence Splash Pad







Pioneer Day Parade
Emily and I took our kids to the Pioneer Day parade in North Logan.
I remember the parade as a kid, dressing up as a pioneer and being on our ward float. It was fun to take the girls and see people that I recognized and spend time with my sis!



  When Emily and Russ come up from Utah Valley to spend the weekend in Logan, we love spending time together and the girls love snuggling with Elliot. Sophia loves making him smile and giving him toys and books and they are fascinated by his funny, little baby mannerisms.


Camping!
We have been talking about camping for awhile and we finally found a weekend that worked for all of us.   Max went up early to claim a spot in Logan Canyon and when we all got there we set up the tents, prepared tin foil dinners, made s'mores, talked, laughed and had a great time! It was Sophia's first time camping and both girls loved sleeping in the tent, playing in the dirt and exploring the "island" in the middle of the river with Uncle Adam.

Swimming!
Since Adam and Hillary have memberships to the Sports Academy, it is always fun to use their guest passes to go swimming. The girls had a blast splashing and "floating", and Elliot even took a dip!


Back to School Dinner
In preparation for Evelyn's first day of kindergarten we celebrated with a back-to-school dinner.  I got the idea from a website I follow, of a mom who has a big shebang before school starts.  I thought it would be a fun tradition to start and so we picked out scrapbook paper for the banner and made the centerpiece.  We served salmon and steak, spinach salad, rice pilaf, fresh fruit and yummy dessert. Grandma Kari gave the girls each a necklace, Evelyn's said "Big Sister" and Sophia's said "Little Sister". 
HAPPY BACK-TO-SCHOOL My Kindergartener!
