Swimming & Hiking w/ Friends

Landon and Lucas really enjoyed their swimming lessons this year.  Landon was one of two kids in his class and Lucas was one of three kids, so they got a lot of 1 on 1 time with their swimming instructors.




The boys were so excited to have our friends Kristen and Megan Upp visit us last month and loved that they joined us at the pool to watch the boys swimming lessons.
We took the Upp girls with us on our weekly hiking trip with the Williamson girls.  We hiked the first half of the Secret Lake Trail which was a pretty steep hike for the kids.  I look forward to one day trying this hike again and actually making it to Secret Lake.  ;)

At one point during the hike Landon wanted me to take his picture but then didn't want a picture of just himself, he wanted Megan to join him.  It was pretty cute.  The boys loved hanging out with Kristen last summer and enjoyed the time they spent with her and Megan this summer as well.

We spent one afternoon at 7 Peaks Water Park with our guests where we met up with Sarah Armstrong and her kiddos.  Despite the fact that there were a couple of bullies at the pool that day; we were still able to enjoy ourselves.  Kristen and Megan went on a few of the bigger slides but for the most part they hung out with me and the boys.

We had so much fun with our guests.  I was able to spend one afternoon of shopping with them and Lucas and Landon spent many hours playing soccer and basketball in the front yard with them.  Megan drew this cute picture of some of our fun memories, like Steve climbing the basketball hoop.  We all tried it and he was the only one who could do it (all because of his freakishly long second toes ;)).



We were sad to see our friends leave and hope they are able to come back again.
