It's Summer Fun Boot Camp around here. We're all feeling the pressure building to the first day of school and we have to have some extreme summer fun before it starts! Sarah took some Dopps up to Park City in the afternoon, followed closely by me and the rest of mine after my ballet classes, and a bunch of friends to play with. (Thanks, Sarah!!)
Swimming was followed by ipad time and dinner...
18 kids, one future film director who still has to finish jr. high and 5 moms. No problem. Right, Jen?
Cheers to us! Somehow the chaos of all those kids didn't interfere too much with the conversation. Three pack 'n' plays, a loft full of Littlest Pet Shop paraphernalia and a wii room kept everyone happy until about midnight when we realized, hey, the kids are still up!
But, as everyone knows, staying up late does not mean sleeping in for kids. We broke down camp and took a jaunt up to my parents' condo for an early morning swim.
I wanted to see the damage caused by the fire last weekend. It's hard to tell how close it got, but it was just feet away from our building. The whole mountainside is charred to a crisp. Scott and his brothers were up there last weekend when it got evacuated. No buildings were hurt. Miracle!
Since I love driving down East Canyon instead of I-80, we thought we might as well stop at the zoo and visit the polar bears and sea lions.
What a fun group of kids! We could have stayed at the zoo longer, but Freestone had to get home for a primary class excursion to the Bountiful Rec Center. He went straight there. The poor kid was just hammered when he got home from that, so mission accomplished. There is nothing better than being worn out by all that sun and fun. What's next?...

Wow, that is an amazing number of activities in two days. And you all were still smiling and having fun:)
Looks like a lot of fun. You are awesome! I was feeling like I needed to pack lots in too for this last week, but my kids said, "Can we just hang at home with friends?" Duh....I said SURE!!!
