The summer update

Boy I thought that I could keep up on this blogging stuff!  Since my last post we went to my family reunion in Utah and then on the way back we stopped and went to Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake and then we went to Lagoon.  The kids loved Lagoon!  There was a car ride, where the kids could drive their own cars, and I believe we sat in the same spot for over an hour.  Bode and Boston and sometimes Cooper and Ben would get on this ride and as soon as they were off they got back on.  When Cooper and Ben were not riding the cars there was a roller coaster that they loved.  Hannah would take either me or Blaine and go on some of the other rides.  We liked Lagoon because there were so many places to sit that were in the shade and we could sit in one spot and keep on eye on all the kids riding about 3 or 4 different rides at the same time.  It was great but they all still love Disneyland and are still planning our next trip there.  When we got back we had Ben's birthday party.  Ben might not be home for his actual birthday in the summers, we will have to do some better planning.  He had some friends over and played games and had cake and ice cream.  It was actually nice weather.  If I can figure out how to put a slide show on here I will add pictures later.  Apparently the slide show people I used in the past aren't doing it anymore.
