Thanksgiving Point

For Derek's summer work party this year we got free passes to all the attractions at Thanksgiving Point here in Lehi.  The girls had never been to the Dinosaur Museum there, so it was really fun.  Afterward we had a carnival/dinner as well.  It was a very full day!

The Tinker room in the Dinosaur Museum was their favorite.

Lots of hands on activities.

Meili loved watching things fly out of the wind tunnel.

Posing on a dino dig.  Meili looks like a scary creature!

The sand and water table, they LOVED it!

Face painting at the party.

Meili was VERY suspicious of the lady painting on her face.

But they turned out stinkin' cute.

Sofie loved the mama cow.

(but the look on Derek's face as the calf was nursing...that was priceless!!)

Our girls love the "Zoo Farm"

Let me out!

Meili was crushed that she didn't get to ride, next time maybe. :(

Mooooo

4th of July

For the Fourth of July we got to spend time with family in Alpine.  We had a BBQ at the park, played at the splash pad, swam at my aunt's pool, and finished with some fireworks.  Here's a few pictures:

Potato Sack races with the Cousins!

Spoon races

These little bodies are all so cute!

Tug o' war

Mei needed a little help with the sack race

Lots of cousins, but this year's party was really small, too many people have moved or were out of town.

Life's always good when there's a swimsuit involved!

Swimming until the sun goes down.

Passing the Time

It's been a great summer, hard to keep girls busy when you're miserable, but I've had lots of support from my mom, sister, and cousin.  Not many pictures to prove we've done stuff, most activities involved being wet or being miserable, so the camera didn't come out, but here's a few of my cute girls.

These three darling triplet-cousins have spent LOTS of time together.  I'm so grateful to have them as such convenient friends for Sofie.  This was before the ban on fun (water shortage) in Lehi...

Puppet shows.

Shoulda named her Spaz! :)

Showing off our aprons before baking.

This was I think 34 weeks... I'm a little bigger these days. (typing this at 38 1/2)

This beautiful face

And this beautiful face

Their hair is finally growing!
