Summer Activities 54-58 plus some

54| Eat at the Malt Shop

This is another great place to eat at while visiting Ephraim. I think we go there every time we visit too.

55| Pick Wildflowers

The kids and I took a walk one morning and found some flowers along the side of the road. Benton and Emmett enjoyed picking them. They lasted about a day, but it was fun!

Linda's birthday is in September, but we wanted to give her her birthday gift while we were there. This year I found a Downton Abbey Cookbook. I thought it would be so fun to get it for her (since she loves the show... like everyone does!) and then make her a meal from it. She picked the apple pork loin and a couple different sides with a rice pudding dessert. It was really good and really fun. Happy Birthday Linda! I hope you enjoyed your dinner and your book.

I just found this one of Emmett enjoying his well deserved fruit snacks at Deseret Book after taking pictures at the wedding.

Ephraim got a new splash pad so we had to try it out! This trip was so fun! We did so many things and the best part was that we got to do them with family. Cousins are so fun!

This is one morning when all the kids played with Grandma's fabric squares. She gets samples sent to her of new fabrics. All of the kids loved them! Some of them sewed them together, some just sorted them, and some (Benton) hoarded as many as he could get to make sure Kadence (who was still at home) would have some when she came. to quote grandma exactly, "Who knew fabric squares could be so fun?"

We also went to a parade in Manti and scored lots of candy!

Grandma made these awesome cape's for the kids. They were real superhero's. And there is Benton with that hat again. I think we wore it everyday.

56| Roll down a hill

This was so funny! It was the first time the kids had even heard of such a thing, and I'm pretty sure they were a little confused. But the kept doing it, over and over again so I think they liked it. Benton went sideways half the time.

57| Go 4 Wheeling

We all got to go on rides and everyone had a great time. Seriously this trip was so much fun.

58| Road Trip to Grandparent's House

This was actually on our way down to grandma and grandpa's house. I got them a giant glow stick for the night drive and it was awesome! Anyone who drives at night, get one of these. They will provide hours of fun.
