What has Chloe Been Up To?

Chloe has been a busy little tyke as well. She has been many places and seen many things. Chloe got to go to Girls camp for the first time this year. You can see some pictures of her getting her hair done before camp. She had a really good time out in the mountains with the girls and the bears.

Chloe got home from girls camp and left (on the same day) for Sacramento. She was promised that good grades would get her to Sacramento for a summer vacation, but we did not know the dates for girls camp. Chloe got to take a plane ride all be herself. Her grandma picked her up at the airport (and got Kevin Johnson's autograph). Chloe then got to spend the weekend with her cousins having a good time. She drove home with Jordan and my parents.

Chloe went to St. George with me and Jordan, but she did not have to come home on Sunday afternoon like Jordan and I did. She stayed in St. George for an entire week. She played with Addison and Izzie and had a good time with her cousins playing and swimming. It was quite an exciting week.

Now that Chloe is home she is booking babysitting jobs like crazy and hopes to make a bunch of money this summer.

The pictures below show Chloe getting ready to leave for girls camp. The top picture is her after Robin braided her hair. The second picture is Robin actually braiding her hair (with Squishy sitting by her). The last picture is from Chloe's dance recital this year (she danced to Love Is A Battlefield). She did a great job at her dance.

There is still a lot of time in Chloe's summer as well, I am sure she will fill it with all kinds of amazing and fun activities.

What Has Jordan Been Up To?

So, Jordan has been busy so far this summer. He has been in California, Mill Hollow, and Camp Tracy. Not to even mention all of his fun time with friends. Jordan was promised that if he got "good grades" we would let him go to Sacramento to see Camden (Jordan's cousin) get baptized. At the end of the school year his grades were deemed "good" and we set up the trip for him to go. Jordan drove with my parents all the way to Sacramento. My parents even said he was good! Way to go Jordan! Jordan spent about a week in California doing all kinds of fun things: riding the 4-wheelers, swimming, scootering and biking. He had a ton of fun.

Jordan went to Mill Hollow as well. We paid for Mill Hollow during the school year and told Jordan to qualify to go he had to have no C's on his report card. On the say when we could no longer get our money back one of Jordan's grades fell to a C (and ended the year at that). We told Jordan he could still go (we couldn't get our money back) but he would owe us the $60 that Mill Hollow costs. Jordan agreed and went to Mill Hollow (with his friends Gavin and Tanner) and had a great time. He hiked, tied boondoggle and just generally hung out with his friends.

We went to St. George for the weekend in July and had a good time in the pool. It was just a quick trip, but fun! Once we got home from St. George Jordan got to go to 11-year old Boy Scout camp. He went up to the mountains at Camp Tracy and did rifle shooting, carving and other scout activities. He even got to sleep up there one night.

As you can tell Jordan has been pretty busy and he still has a month of summer left. Below you can see some pictures. The top one is from the 4th of July celebration we had at my parents. Jordan is holding Izzie. The other two pictures are from a bike ride Jordan and I went on and Jordan stopped at a park to do the monkey bars.

Golf Update

On the St. George trip from last week my Dad and I went to Dixie Red Hills. We have never played this course before. I really liked it. I shot a 47 on nine holes. Not very good, but it is the first time I played the course. I think I could play it a lot better next time. I think 3 or 4 strokes could come off easy. This golf course has tons of squirrels. They were everywhere. They did not even get fazed as we drove our cart by them or got out and played golf right by them. Here is a squirrel as my Dad plays (circled in red).The best shot of the day was by my Dad. He tried to hit around a dog-leg to the left and hit a pretty good shot, except for the 60 foot tall boulder that was in the way. He did get a lucky bounce though and his shot landed in a pretty good spot for him. Here is a Google Maps image of the "boulder" he bounced his ball off of:He wasn't the only one that had hit the rock before, there was a crevice in the rock where a ball was sitting. Ohhh, and by the way, my Dad shot a 58 or something like that, I lost count.

In St. George

I am in St. George for the night and tomorrow, then off to Las Vegas for some PG rated fun. Tomorrow we plan to hit the Bear Paw cafe for breakfast, then some golf, eat lunch at In N Out burger, laser tag, dinner and lastly back to the condo for another night of games. It is a full day of fun times.

In Vegas we are going to hang out with Diana's brother Mikey for the day. He has planned things like the shark exhibit and the roller coaster on New York New York. It should be a great weekend. I will post pictures and updates as the weekend progresses.
