By the 4th of July I was feeling like I wanted to get out of the house a little and the kids were really ready to get out and have some fun. Jason got up at the crack of dawn to take his new wheels for a spin up at Snowbasin with some friends. His Father's day present was a fancy new mountain bike. Later that morning he took the older three kids up to Middle Fork Canyon east of Huntsville to fish and hike. I packed a picnic and headed to Huntsville with Skyler. Alright, packing a picnic actually ended up being a stop at Kentucky Fried Chicken but it still counts, right? This was Skyler's first trip outside of Ogden and he spent the entire exciting trip...sleeping. It was fun to go celebrate the holiday as a family. I should have taken some pictures but I guess all I was up to was stopping at KFC so you'll have to take my word for it!
After lunch, Kaitlyn came home with Skyler and me and the boys went back up to Snowbasin for some more mountain biking on some easier trails. Jason came through on a picture here.
Later that evening we had a barbecue and went down to Riverdale to watch the firework show. Skyler didn't like all the noise from the fireworks too much. It probably wasn't our most exciting 4th of July but everyone had a fun day.
It's been a hot summer in Utah this year and the kids have been enjoying the pool trying to stay cool.
The kids finished off their season with the track club. Here are pictures of Jared and Kaitlyn. I didn't actually get any pictures of Andrew. I'm obviously not doing a very good job of juggling a camera and a baby at the same time. Andrew ran a 6:05 mile this year! That's impressive for a 6th grader considering the amount of training he has been doing and that it was run in the heat!
