Summer Fun has Begun

Now that baseball is over and our real commitments are finished, we are embarking on summer. We put the pool up, got the filters running, mixed the chemicals correctly, bought the floaties, and enjoyed the current weather. The wind has been blowing non-stop but that makes the temperatures quite tolerable.

Besides that backyard pool, we have enjoyed a few visits to Egin Lakes. Right now the water is perfect. We like to go there to kayak, build sand castles, swim, and run down the dunes, launching ourselves into a deep water hole. FUN, FUN, FUN!! If you go, avoid Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. There are a lot of people riding on the dunes. They make a lot of noise and don't necessarily care for people floating around in kayaks. You can also catch a lot of tadpoles right now. Bring a cup to catch and view.

McKenna went to the sandbar yesterday. The water was really high and it scared me but she thought it was fun. "It was the best when the top water was pulling me one way and he bottom water was dragging me another way. It was trying to pull me apart." She loved it. I could just vision her floating down the river and not being able to reach the bank. I'll try to keep her away from there. Collin tried the canal today. He said it was freezing cold and was covered in baby leeches. GROSS!!!!! We'll try to avoid that place for awhile, too.

The twins went to the waterpark in Rexburg. They had a lot of fun. Thank goodness for the neighbors that provide them with a lot of entertainment.
