with the temperatures actually staying above
50 degrees for 3 days in a row...my mind has shifted into summer mode-
Thought i would share what i will doing all summer-
*Frequenting the good ol
provo pool with my 25 punch pass and then visiting the hospital later in the summer because me and the kids will have ghiardia (im sure along with the rest of you...anyone remember last summer? Sweet)
*Seriously considering
"sand hollow" aka- mini lake powell. that is, if i can get my hands on a boat and very large yellow cabana. (mom? dad?)
*
McCall Idaho has me thinking cafeteria food (which ive always secretly LOVED), the whole Mackay bunch lounging on the grass, lake water in my hair, talent shows and a community shower. I can't wait!
*4th of July
10k, trailrun
10 miler,
wasatch back and the
hobble creek half marathon will keep my bum looking as good as it possibly can (2 kids later) in a swimsuit. They will also keep me sane...and soar. Nice.
*My birthday is always a good time to finish off summer festivities...especially because this year we plan to rent sumo wrestler suits to celebrate the
big 25. anyone wanna match?
*I also plan to eat all the
veggies i can from my cute little garden which is actually growing like crazy. (im surprised i can keep something alive. my poor flowers died long ago). Beets, Carrots, Peas, Beans, tomotoes and cucumbers. Mmm Mmm Good.
whats on your summer list?
We've been doing this alot (above picture). Even if its for 1 hour, we usually try to find a pool to go to to beat the heat of the afternoon. Reg loves his little tubey thingy and Owen floats freely with his water wings....so i only have 80% of anxiety.
These fellas played in the "firecracker softball tournament". Although the outcome was un-successful, it was fun to watch...wait, i didn't watch because i had my eye on...
This kid, as he found a sewer hole and was throwing everything he found in sight down it. He thinks he is so tough. Even after spinning too hard on the tire swing tonight at the park and throwing up his dinner and probably last nights dinner too, he still found the energy to laugh.
Saturday we participated in the childrens parade. Owen and I were pumped to decorate his wagon in hopes of walking home with a trophy....until i saw our competition.... An airplane wagon constructed out of spray painted garbage cans and also a wagon train with battery powered stuffed bears waving american flags. We had no chance. But O daddy sure looked cute waving to the crowd of parade watchers!! 
After a few games of baseball, and a few swigs of water, they were onto the next activity...capture the flag. Tyson was spent after a few hours of playing. I felt like saying, "be home before dinner."
My fam and I finished the annual 10 miler trailrun saturday. Everyone was SUPER speedy and pretty sure all finished top 3 in their age divisions! Go fam-dam-ly. Im so proud! 
Here is mother....she was upset we didn't get a group shot...so here is proof she really DID run and RUN she did. She was fast!!!
Water fights happened this weekend. Have you ever seen more joy in kids faces? Sprinkler+trampoline= fun time (and a sprained ankle...but we were lucky enough to avoid that)
We dragged the kids to the target parking lot to watch the fireworks. Don't worry, i had been up since 5am and Owen was nap-less. can you tell? Let the summer begin!
Looks like i am going to be having many O salads this summer. yumm-O
Trying hard to motivate this little dude to roll over and get his own toys...hasnt worked yet.
We have been hiking the Y and bridal veil falls, also when the weather permits.
I have also been trying to get mileage in since my big races are coming up. Tyson has been a champ and running as well. He is getting siked for the freedom run 5k. I never thought the day would come when Tyson asked me..."wanna go on a run Linds?" music to my ears!
