Slip 'N Slide Days

Whenever we get with the Tulett's whether at our house or theirs the kids always spend some time playing in water.  One day I had a brilliant idea to put the hose on the slide with the slip 'n slide below.  This quickly became a favorite activity.  Once Link started digging up the lawn in that spot though we have had to move the slip 'n slide to the front yard.  That isn't as fun but okay still.

Daddy's Triathlon

On July 14 Scott would be participating in the Echo Triathlon.  We decided to make it a family camping weekend.  We got a camp site at the Echo Resort.  Our tent was given a spot basically on the road between all the RV's.  Because there was so little water the beach was huge.  We thought we were camping right at the triathlon.  Turns out the race was actually about 1 mile down the road.  We set up camp and then while Scott was checking in the kids and I played on the beach.  The road was closed the next morning to vehicles so Scott rode his bike to the race.  I had to drive back around the lake to the town of Coalville to park and catch up bus to ride 2 miles up the opposite way in the canyon to get to the race.  We enjoyed cheering for Scott and also for our friends Carlee Tulett and Sarah Thomas.

We built sandcastles and forts.

They wrote words and tried to get the water to flow in the letters.

The run was on a nice trail.

These two were such good cheerers.  They yelled loud and rang their cow bells.

The Annual Princess Festival

I spent four days with the young women at girls camp in Ogden Canyon above Hunstville.  The day I got home we arrived home a few hours earlier than planned.  Scott was supposed to be at the Princess Festival with the kids but had not been keeping up cleaning in the house.  They were in a major cleaning mode when I arrived home.  Scott told me to leave when I walked in because he didn't want me to see the mess.  When they were finished they went to the Princess Festival at Thanksgiving Point but by that time it was about over for the day.  So Saturday they went again to do what they were not able to do on Friday.
