Nat Soo Pah

Hanging with the fam out at the pool. Best antidote for a summer day! Everybody in Kelby's family was able to make it except Chad, Fran, and their crew. We missed you guys!

Each year Kelby's family gets together and we do something fun. This year it is Nat Soo Pah and City of Rocks. If a missionary farewell counts as fun we'll do that too. Chad had training for work in Seattle Washington unfortunately and he was lucky enough to be able to take his fam with him. Maybe next year they can make it. It will be the first year in along time since we were all together as Kelby & I haven't been here for 4 years and Brock is in dental school with his fam in Boston for the past 2 1/2 years. It just gets harder and harder to get family together the older we get and the bigger our families get!

The only proof that I was there. Kristina says my goggles are, "Hot, hot, hot!" I would have worn them even if they weren't since they were to keep my contacts in. I hate losing contacts in the water and I really dislike blindness. Kind of makes goggles a must.
The boys loved having Daddy along. Ian insisted that Dad take him down the slide instead of Mom once Kelby arrived. I'm losing my Mama's boy! Taylor still has goggle eyes in this pic. Poor kid! Taylor could take the slide on his own and took great pride in carrying his mat up to the top and setting it up for his twirling decent into the pool.
Taylor at the high dive. He jumped over and over again. For the first little bit we had someone in the water to get him just in case, but he never needed us so we quit that and just kept a tight eye on him.
Taylor's leap into the watery abyss. His 3 year old cousin Taylee went before him and you can see her making her way to the edge of the pool with her dad. Those kids couldn't get enough! Ian freaked out the first jump of the day so I wouldn't let him jump again. He refused to be towed on his back, but he wouldn't help swim. At least he had the slide!
