It's hard to whittle down all the fun we had this summer with my sister and her family. Some claim the world stops whenever family comes to town...and that's pretty accurate. We have to enjoy every moment while we can. So first up was the Sessions crew.
We first met in
Manti and then enjoyed the 4
th of July weekend together (previous post).
July 6 - Grandma planned a whole afternoon full of fun games and activities for the kids.
They made these fun foam guns and had contests to see who get theirs the farthest.
M&M relays! I won my division....sorry McCall, I just suck better than you!
Cute cousins - Bryn,
Rylee and
Kaisa. Last year Grandma was the reason for
Rylee's jealousy with Bryn. This year it is
Kaisa. It's hard to share cousins!
Water Relays!
July 7 - Giant
waterslide at Evergreen Park! The tradition continues and was just as fun as any year! We have a pizza picnic and then slide away the afternoon.
Rylee got a little more
adventurous this year and took to the hill without mom or dad!
SUPER GARRETT couldn't get enough!
Grandpa invited the little kids for a morning at Adventure Land Park to feed the ducks. They were so excited for this outing. Grandpa even packed a brunch full of fruit, donuts, yogurt, and drinks. Yes, he is trying to win them over and I think it's working.
How cute are these four!
He even remembered to take pictures! Thanks Dad!
So many activities we do during the summer have become traditions. A picnic at Roadhouse in AF Canyon is one. This grandkid picture is another one. We've taken a picture of the kids in this same spot for the last several years.
Isn't Bryn a sweetie! Luckily Rylee was distracted by Kaisa and didn't mind.
Those are muddy bums...nothing more!
July 10 - Steel Days Parade
My kids don't care for the loud sirens - and who can blame them. Now, where's all the candy?
Garrett loved this piggy mask that he caught. It's quite the prize!
Garrett absolutely loves Bryn! I think he'd adopt her if he could!
July 13 - Cousin Day
Mom and my sisters went to see Eclipse and then met up with some of our cousins for lunch. It doesn't happen often enough unfortunately.
Mom, Aunt Geri, Alisa, Me, Tiffani, McCall, StephanieThen for dinner we met cousin Becca for a taco picnic at Heritage Park in Cedar Hills - another favorite and let the kids roam free in the water.
July 21 - Boating!
This years boating excursion wasn't as great this year due to bad weather. But the kids all got to take one ride when the choppy waves calmed a little.
Regardless, they manage to still have a lot of fun playing in the creek and just being together.
July 23 - Colton's Baptism!
The last day before the Sessions headed back to Texas was a perfect ending. Colton got baptized. It's the first time all the cousins have been together for a baptism and it was a very special day for all of us. Congrats Colt!
