Summer pictures in July

Cute Bradley wanted to make a count down chain for school to start.  I just love how excited he was till summer was over.  He also tried the rope swing down at our creek for the first time.  He loved it.  He was so super excited that he was able to do it even though he still hasn't gotten up the courage to jump into the water.

 

I took the kids that were home at the time (minus Tanner who was at his 50 miler camp out) to see at Scera Theater "Sound of Music."  It was in the outdoor theater and so fun to attend.  The acting and music was amazing.  We all loved going together even though it was a little hard sitting on a hill with our chairs - Bradley almost tumbled forward a couple of times. Camille, Carter, Johnathan and Bradley.  Below Tricia and Parker

We always love finding outdoor activities during the summer and playing at water parks tops the list.  We had so much fun together getting wet. (Parker on left and Carter on right).

 

Bradley is so creative and always looking for something to do.  He spent a lot of time on this cool lego trailer/car.  I was very impressed with his creativity.

Dad and Mom were in charge of our Karl Adamson Reunion on July 20.  I was able to reserve the pavilion by us for a fun outdoor activity area.  Mom planned so many fun activities along with some yummy potluck food.  Bradley loved going ice blocking and my monkeys below climbed the flag pole because it looked like a fun thing to do at the time.  We also did the slip and slide for many hours with a huge piece of plastic, some soap and water hose.  The kids had so much fun on this. 

 Bradley and Cadan are such cute cousins together.

Camille got her license on July 22.  She took the driving test in Sandy then I took her to get her license after that.  Here is one very happy girl.  Whooo hooo!   She also got a job at McDonald's and started training on July 16 in Saratoga Springs.  Her first day officially on the job was on July 23.  She started out doing a lot of the cash register and absolutely loved doing this.  She quickly started doing drive through, but prefers to do the cash register.  Some pretty cute old men come in and Camille has told us some fun things that they do.  Some of them come in every day so they know exactly what they are going to order and have the exact change. 

We went to Manila Creek Park.  Tanner and Bradley had fun fishing.  They all also loved swimming in the warm water.

Tanner and Bradley at our neighborhood creek.  Tanner was trying to help Bradley get up the courage to jump off this ledge.  They finally did it together after many minutes of coaxing.

A refreshing treat on a hot summer day - we went to pick up Camille and then got a snow cone.  

 I took my boys swimming at the outdoor pool.  We all had so much fun swimming together and also going down the slides. Carter, Tanner, Bradley, Johnathan and Parker with their treats.

 

Our pretty flowers.  Below the boys spent a lot of time building this teepee in our backyard.  They even ran electricity to it so they could run a fan.  I love when they are busy doing things together. Carter, Parker and Bradley  - Below Johnathan was so nice to take Bradley on a bike ride.  The smile says it all.
