Well we have been back from our vacation for a week and a half. Our two weeks at Island Park were absolute heaven. (I will update the blog with pictures soon.)
And that sums up life in our house since our Island Park get-away.
Madison and Taylor started swimming lessons. They are both a couple of little mermaids and are doing very well. Madison is also taking tennis lessons. She really enjoys it and is getting better every day. Unfortunately Activity Days is the same time as tennis, but Taylor has had a lot of fun the past two weeks. They did tennis one week (so Madison was not too heartbroken about missing that day) and they had a movie party. Other than that it has been a usual summer vacation of running through the sprinklers, bike riding, playing with friends, sleeping on the tramp, etc.
Jordan is still doing his football conditioning and Young Men activities. He seems to always be gone with his friends. Fortunately he has a good group of friends and they have good parents.
Amanda has kept really busy with work. She works for anyone who needs a shift off. She has had a lot of fun going to concerts this summer. It seems like she has a couple every weekend. Last weekend a lot of her friends from Idaho came to Ogden, as several of them are in a band and they participated in a competition. She took some of her Utah friends and met up with her Idaho friends. I think she had a good time.
Of course the biggest event was the opening of Harry Potter on the 15th. Amanda went to the midnight show … she was disappointed. Madison and I went to the 7:00 show and Madison thought it was great. Our insurance agent basically bought out the theater that night and invited 200 of her clients to an exclusive showing of the moving on opening night. The VIP package included tickets to the movie, $10.00 per person in snacks, giveaways and prizes. We thought the whole thing was awesome!
Life for Mark and I has been pretty uneventful. Mark has been trying to keep his garden and grass alive. Pulling the hose around is getting really old. The year we get a sprinkling system we will be the most grateful sprinkling-system-owners on the planet. This weekend I weeded, weeded, and weeded some more. I was so sore the next couple of days. It was quite the workout!
And that sums up life in our house since our Island Park get-away.
