Fun Times!!!

So we have had Sena, Amy, and Nolan down here with us for a little over a week. And this weekend we did some fun things, making them wonder when we get to do again. Friday night we rented the city pool from 9 -10 (they are really busy this time of year... that was the only time we could get before they leave) and we invited Mike's parents, brothers and nephews with. Everyone had a blast. After we got to the pool I realized I forgot the camera. And there would have been some good pictures. Oh well! So Brooke for some reason hates the pool. She loves to be in the water and play but Parowan's pool is scary I guess to her. So she clings to people, and we try and teach her how to swim and this time we had a life jacket for her. But she hated the life jacket and didn't like the fact that she was in a floatie by herself. She still had fun! Mike's nephew Tyler on the other hand had a blast in his floaty (he is just a few months younger than Brooke) He was kicking for all he was worth and floaten around everywhere and tell everyone that he was floatin!! He was so cute!!! Nate, Mike's other nephew, is like a fish that can't swim. He loves the water and he clings to people too but he moves SO much. He about drowned Mike with him once. Anyway everyone had fun diving and swimming.

We also took a drive up Summit Mtn. Mike's friends' family owns property up there and that's where we usually bow hunt at. So we took the kids up to look for deer and arrowheads. We stopped, parked and set up the camp chef a little ways into their property before heading off to hike up the mtn side in search of arrowheads. None of us found a finished one, however, we did find chips from them, broken ones, and starts of arrowheads. Mike also found scrapers, which I never really thought about looking for (He loves looking for things like this). On our hike Mike and I seen 2 bucks and a couple of doe's. On the walk back to the "cook site" Mike seen another buck (he was a ways ahead of us... to get back to work on getting a spark or flame since we forgot a lighter or matches... I was trying to keep the kids together and keep moving they were so excited about finding all these cool rocks everywhere) While dinner was cooking there was a buck than walked parallel to us about 30 yards away. I had to get a picture of it, no it wasn't the greatest. Anyway on the way down the mtn side we seen a lot more deer and I finally seen elk up there. We've heard them but never seen them. But 2 spike bull elk ran across the road and up the hillside in front of us. I was sitting in the middle of the dang truck so I didn't get a picture of them. But it was still exciting to finally see the elk up there. We also saw a 4 pt, but it was so dark and too much moving that I didn't get a good picture of it, it turned out blurry.

We also went and seen Wall-E. That was funny! Mike laughed through the whole thing. And Sena got a bigger kick out of Mike's laugh than she did the movie!!! He is a crack up to hear him laugh like that. Brooke decided at the end that she needed to go potty so we both missed the ending. She takes quite a time between deciding she's done and washing her hands, so everyone was out waiting for us in the lobby when we came out. But overall it was good and so was the weekend! Like I said they're all asking when we get to go swimming and look for arrowheads again! Hope everyone had a good weekend!!!
