Davis County Fair

Last night we went to the Davis County Fair.

Darin had church meetings that went a little longer than we expected, 

so we got a late start but we still had a good time.

Right when we got there we ran into our neighbors, 

then mom and dad, and Uncle Al and Aunt Vicki!

Darin entered his blackberries again this year and got 1st place again!

This year I decorated a cake and entered it into the fair.

I also got 1st place!

Next we went to look at all the animals.

This was the softest rabbit I've ever felt!

Matt and this llama became pals.

And, they had ELEPHANTS at the fair!

Matt had a great time riding it (with 4 strangers we didn't know).

Lindsay was cute when Matt got off.  

She said, "Matt!  You did it!  You were on that elephant!  Great job buddy!"

I'll be honest, I'm a little sad I didn't ride the elephant too!  It looked so fun!

Rise and Shout!

Last week I took the kids down to BYU.

There will be more pictures coming, but for now here are a few...

Go COUGARS!

H. O. Gunnerson Reunion

Today we went to the H.O. Gunnerson Reunion.

This year Uncle Al and Aunt Vicki were in charge and did a GREAT job!

I LOVE all of the Gunnerson family and any chance we get to be with them.

It was so fun to visit with our family and the kids had fun too.

Matt loved loved the water-slide and did it probably close to 100 times. 

Lindsay loved playing with the hangers in the bubbles.

We had a yummy lunch.

And the kids LOVED the face painting!

Thanks Heather and Wendy!

Thanks for a wonderful day Al and Vicki!

CAA Adventure Camp

This week Matt has been at "Adventure Camp" at Creative Arts Academy.

(Kind of similar to Lindsay's Princess Camp).

We debated about doing it this year, but I'm so glad we did! 

Matt LOVED it!!

Monday was "Secret Agent" Day.

They learned how to be "Spy Kids," they got to go through a laser course in the dark, and they got cool Nerf dart blowers to keep.

(I think Matt looks a little TOO tough in this picture).

Tuesday was Harry Potter Day.

His teacher really went all out!

The room looked really cool and was decorated with big banners of the different houses.

They got to do different spells to transform snakes, make explosions, and unlock doors.

They had Harry Potter snacks and ate dinosaur teeth and spiders webs.

They had a fun potion class with all kinds of cool beakers. 

Wednesday was "Superhero Day."

They made capes, swords, shields, and they slayed a dragon!

Thursday was Pirate Day

They learned how to talk like a pirate and how to sword fight.  They also went on an adventure to find pieces of a map, they put the map together, went on a treasure hunt, found the treasure chest, and shared treasure complete with gold coins!

I would have to say, it was a GREAT week!

Bountiful International Summerfest Street Dance

Darin and I took the kids to the Bountiful SUmmerfest Street Dance.

Every year they have dancers come from all over the world.

This year they came from Chile, Martinique, Netherlands, and Taiwan.

They have live bands, dancers, food, and audience participation.

They have more free performances on the 8-10.  Click HERE if you're interested.

We enjoyed all the dancers, but this is always my favorite part:
