Summer fun

It took all summer for us to actually do something fun with the kids......All summer long we have been doing home improvements andhave not had tiem or money for fun...so I decided if we don't have the money to go to the zoo, or lagoon, or boondocks or anything else the kids seem to want to go and do we will have to find free or relatively cheap fun all on our own. last week we went swimming with the cousins in a backyard pool.....the kids had a blast and it was nice to visit with my sis in law and see her kids. Then we discovered Spanish Fork Reservoir...It's a tiny reservoir with a Sandy Beach to play in and water to swim in......we took a sack lunch and went swimming and built sandcastles. It was great fun and it is only 10 minutes from our house....While we were there Shaun rescued a damsel in distress and Michael ate sand, the girls played along the shore and Ben went fishing. I got to watch it all from my seat, camera in hand...after all if this is to be the extent of our summer partying then we better well document it!
