They had a good time learning how to dribble and shoot the ball.
Before we left the house I told him I needed to write our name on the basketball so we wouldn't loose it. By the time I made it out to the kitchen to do it he told me he already put his name on the ball. It made me smile to see his name written on the ball in his own hand writing. What a smart kid!!!
On Thursday evening we had a great time going out to dinner at Texas Roadhouse with our friends and neighbors Mike and Tara. We even let the kids tag along, and they all did great! After we got back from dinner we walked up to the Apple and got a snow cone. That is a great summer classic! After we got home my cousin Alena and her cute family showed up to spend a few days with us while they were in Utah and on their way to Washington State. On Friday morning I was able to go on a run with Grant, (Alena's Hubby) and my friend Jen. We ran 7 miles and it felt great and it was so fun to have someone to run with! After lunch we took the kids down to the Gateway in SLC and let them run through the water fountain. 
L to R: Carson, Kaylee, Whitney, Camilla, and Owen. Owen was awesome at running through the water, but the rest of the kids were not too sure about getting wet, so they were pretty dry for the ride home! Kaylee enjoyed just being outside in the sun!!!
We got home and made homemade pizza for dinner before heading back to the apple for more snow cones!!!
It was so fun to have Alena and Grant visit us!!! Our kids played well together and it was fun to catch up with them and get to know them better! They stayed Friday night at our house and left Saturday to visit some more friends and family while they are in Utah.
So on Saturday after we said goodbye to my cousins, we headed to Lagoon with some great friends. The DeWalls and the Neumanns. Both Ashley and Jen's husbands were gone on a YM Camping Trip and Nick was in Tremonton helping my Parents tile their house so just us girls took all the kids to Lagoon.
Everytime we go it makes me so glad we have season passes, since my kids LOVE it there!! They have no fear and will go on every ride they are tall enough to go on! One of their favorites is the bumper cars.
We took a break in the afternoon and headed home to let the kids have a nap and then we headed back after dinner for some more rides. By then, Nick had gotten home so we were glad to have him come back with us.
We stayed as late as we could and enjoyed every minute of it! We made it home and put the kids right to bed knowing we had to be up for church the next morning. We had a great Father's Day (which will be a separate post). Monday was spent cleaning the house and doing laundry from the fun long weekend we had. Then after Nick got home from work we went to the DI and found some tennis racquets and a ball to use to play Tennis for FHE. We also went to a local bike store called Masherz and finally bit the bullet and I bought a new road bike for me to use to exercise and use in triathlons. I am so excited about it! I will have to post a picture of the bike later. We headed to the park on our bikes and attempted to play tennis but did more running after the ball then hitting the ball, but it was fun! I took my new bike for a ride while Nick rode bikes home with the kids. I couldn't believe the difference a nice bike makes! My ride was amazing and I can't wait to ride it again and again!

Today, Carson learned about Tennis at his Rec class. (That is what prompted the Tennis FHE last night!). He did pretty good!!!
For as many kids as they have in the class, they keep them very organized and the kids seem to learn very well!

Thursday they will get to do baseball. I think Carson might really like that one! It is fun to see him learn, grow, and being active! The first few days of summer have been great, can't wait to see how much more fun we can have as it continues!!!
