Summer is for kids.

This past week has been fun...for the kids. Not that the grown-ups haven't had fun too, but somethings are designed for kids.

Melaleuca Family Picnic.
My Dad and brother Brandon work for Melaleuca. They throw an awesome summer bash for the families of employees. They were able to snag us some tickets so I took the kids...It was a kiddie paradise. (Maybe I'm getting old but the fishing for prizes, and funky hairsprays don't do it for me anymore - It's sad!!) Reagan got pink stripes in her hair and Tanner got an awesome blue faux-hawk!! There were carnival games of all sorts, horse-rides, jumping cages, giant slides and jungle gyms, balloons, hats, tattoos, cotton candy, popcorn, pop, and 12 cooked pigs! (O.K. that last part was for me!) Yes the kiddies were wired - up! - to say the least! Check it out...

Reagan's favorite - the pink hair and shark slide.
Tanner's favorite - the jumping cage and fish pond.

My favorite - The baked pigs and the kids in their cool hats!!!

Moving on to Ross Park...

Every Summer we have to hit Ross park in Pocatello at least once or twice. It again is a kiddie paradise and kinda fun for me too! - Sun, Water etc.! This was my first time this year and the kids second, I'm sure we'll see it again in 2008 - It's a great place! We took Reagan's b.f.f. Kenadee , (notice the matching suits!),and the 2 girls had way too much fun! About halfway through the day Tanner decided he knew how to swim...YIKES! He would lay down in the kiddie area and say, 'me fim!' That was fine until we went to the deep pool and he didn't know the difference!





Finally...St. Anthony Pioneer Days.
Every year we do the same thing for pioneer days in St. Anthony. Parade, BBQ @ Todd's Uncle Richard's house on the river, (awesome food & family), and then the best part...float down the river in life jackets. The water temp. is perfect, the weather is HOT, and it's so relaxing, invigorating and FUN!...Finally something we all enjoy equally!
