Summertime is not meant for taking responsibility at this house. Pinedale has the most perfect weather during the summer... 80-90 degrees and NO wind (most of the time). There is a perfect Beach at Fremont Lake for the kids to play at and the moms to sit and chat(and get a nice looking tan). You can go anytime and there is always someone there to play with. There are very few places that my kids BEG to go day after day, but when I ask what should we do today? They always respond "Lets go to the Beach!" How can I say no! Hailey loves to play on the tubes and floating toys in the water and "swim" in the lake with her life jaket on. She really thinks that she is swimming all by herself. Ethan sepnds most of the day digging in the sand, making trenches with the other boys and climbing on the tipped over trees. Ady generally sleeps through most of it, but when she wakes up she sits under the umbrella talking away. I think that she enjoys it as much as the rest of us. On Monday evening we went up to the upper boat dock at the lake to take in some fishing, hot dog cooking and smore making. We had the best luck we have ever had with a fish practically every time that any of us cast out our poles! We ended up letting all of them back because they were so small and the kids kept telling us that they were baby fish that needed to get back to their mommies. (Cute!) Ady turned 2 months old on Tuesday. She is growing SOOO fast it is amazing. She is talking alot and looking at us when she hears our voice. She loves to lie under our baby toys and kick it so it will flash and make sounds. She is still sleeping great and only waking up once at night around 4:00am. Dan is leaving bright and early Monday Morning to go on a 6 day backpacking trip with the Boys Scouts.. LUCKY! Then, the day after fe gets back he leaves to go to Alaska... WAY LUCKY!! The kids and I will probably have a week next week much like we did this week to fill the time while dad is gone and then we are headed to MOAB!! Whooo hoooo! I am so excited for the rest of the summer!

love those pics!!! that looks like a good beach!! who needs to clean the house any way it is over-rated.
The beach is a total lifesaver!
Casey gives me such crap for going to the beach every day.... he says, " you say you have rough days but hanging out at the beach all week doesn't sound rough to me".... what do they know right? Thanks for letting me snug your baby last night! She's a doll!
