A Month of Farewell Events

Ok, I only have a few more minutes to work on this for today. I'll have to finish the update later. this was our day of boat riding when we went to Bear Lake. Aviendha fell asleep every time we'd get going for a while.
Ginny's favorite spot was up front and she did a great job as our flag holder!

Sharra would only get on the water-weenie as long as it was secured to the side of the boat.
Sam headed out on yet another ride on the w/w--he couldn't get enough; even after getting tossed into the lake when the Daddies were goofing around on their ride with the boys. Noah, Sam, Carly, Aunt Lindsay ready to go!
Adam and Josh took the kids for motorcycle rides down to the beach. Here are Adam and Sam loaded up in front of the "cabin". Ginny had a ride too, but I missed getting a picture of her all suited up. :(
While we waited for Josh and family to arrive, we went down to the beach for a while to play. This is Adam and Ninna with a view of the mountains behind--the cabin directly behind and to the left of Adam's head was the one we got to use!
We went with Adam's sisters, their kids, and Grandma Julie to the Discovery Gateway Children's Museum on SLC. This is Ginny in the Bird's House.
Sharra and Maddee at the water station--they had a waterfall, a dam, funnels, tubes, fountains, sprayers, toys to float, and a pump. Anyone near Sam definitely got wet!
Reese, Aviendha, and Connor playing at the water station.
Upstairs there was a while room of puzzles, building stuff, and sciencey-lab stations that intrigued the kids. Here are Sharra and Gracie building at the light table. Ginnny loved the magnet table and the coffee filters in the air tunnel. Sam stayed at the bristle block table the entire time creating and then playing with robots. Aviendha took a time-out on my lap and had some crackers.
Bekah worked the large crane and Sam worked the small one in the construction zone. Connor helped load foam bricks into Bekah's "lifter".
Reese and Aviendha played at the large ball-popper together. The ball station was everyone's favorite. Set up like a beehive, there are tubes, tunnels, plinko-style wall and numerous cranks and levers to move ball-pit balls around the beehive. The tubes are attached to a vacumm and work like outside bank tubes--VERY fun!!!!
Grandma-Great at the 4th of July BBQ with Maddee, Bekah, Sharra and Gracie.
Sam, Adam, Sharra, Papa, and Grandma Julie at Aunt Bonnie's in Bountiful.
Ginny, Ninna, and Sam enjoy homemade rootebeer and garden peas at Aunt Bonnie's on the 4th.
Lauren, Katie, Aviendha, and Ginny at Uncle Josh and Aunt Lindsay's house, cooling off i nthe backyard with a sprinkler and a littel water fight.
Sharra and Ashlyn getting warm and dry after getting soaked by Uncle Josh.
Keisen, Sharra, and Sam directing sprinkler hoses at siblings, cousins and adults during the water fight we enjoyed while Mandi and Ken were in Alaska.
