Mark went on his first camp-out with the scouts last weekend. They camped up Diamond Fork Canyon 20 minutes up Spanish Fork Canyon. It was fun. The hike the next day was very hot. A couple of the leaders cooled off in the waterfall and none of the scouts or leaders got in the hot springs. It was 95 ºF.

We have been having loads of fun especially the kids. Coey and Katie, cousins from Phoenix, came to visit. They have been to the zoo, the dinosaur museum, Monster IMAX, Art museum with art crafts, cooking smores and hotdogs up American Fork Canyon, and other activities that I don't even know about (sorry this is Mark reporting who didn't get to go on many of the activies. These were only reported to me). Almary just prior to the cousins coming participated in a choir camp. She looked like she didn't pay attention some of the time but still had fun and looked super cute. She was missing her arms for part of the performance but luckily they turned up later.
The art museum activity had loads of fun activities including face painting and making your own pot. For more updates, we will need to talk to Cheri. Until then enjoy a couple of pictures.

We included some videos of the last days of school. Almary did a cute dance with her class. She was supposed to wear a white shirt with jeans. Daddy let her get away with the clothes she was wearing; a pink shirt and jeans. Needless to say she stood out in her class!
You got to love Preschool graduation! Ryan was very cute. He had fun trying to hold still with the rest of his class mates.
The kids are very good at getting Ty-Ty to laugh and talk (when they aren't too busy or bounce him too much).

Ryan, Bryce, and Dad went to the father and sons campout. They had lots of fun. Of course no one was more excited than Almary to have one on one with Mommy. Almary always loves sleeping in mommy's bed, watching a movie with mommy, a few good treats, and anything else that Almary's thinks of to do. Almary says that they rented a movie and watched lots of movies.
Besides the normal fire and s'mores, the boys had fun feeding the horses whose pasture we shared, climbing trees and playing with sticks, watching the Blackhawk helicopter which performed at a nearby air show for a scout camp, and a hot air balloon which landed near our camp.

We went to the zoo and bought a year pass so we will be going back. I am sure there will be more zoo pictures coming through out the year.

Mark finally graduated with his Master's Degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering at BYU. What a relief, especially for Cheri!
