Some Summer Fun!

 The girls just started riding horses again for the summer.  Their teacher Karleen moved to a new barn and they loved it.  They got to chase and catch chickens, cats and play with ponies...but the best part is riding horses!

 Tristan has been begging for months to take out his shelves so he could climb under his loft bed to make a tent so we finally let him make his tent.  It even extends all the way under his bed behind his dresser.  Of course they had to sleep in it too. 

 To start the summer off we went on a quick trip to Lake Powell with Grandpa and Grandma Potter. We were able to stay on their house boat and enjoyed the lake.  It was hotter than normal which made it pretty hot and miserable..but you could always jump in the lake to cool off.  We were able to attend church at the Ticaboo Branch.  It is so amazing the church is the same all over the world even at Lake Powell.

 We stayed on the houseboat hooked to the buoy so the kids could kayak and swim all around the houseboat.  We would take the ski boat to shore to play on the beach and we just had to go to the marina everyday for a ice cream cone!

Kayla caught a cat fish.  She and Mariah love fishing.

Kayla and Tristan made a "train" out of a kayak and two knee boards.  They played for hours on this.

 Unfortunately once we got home we all had motion sickness from staying on the houseboat on the buoy...it rocks more than if anchored into shore.  I don't think we will do that again.  Especially since I haven't stopped rocking for the last 10 days.  Here's hoping that a cold and congestion could cause my swaying feeling and a decongestant can relieve the pressure on my inner ear so I can feel like I'm no longer in a houseboat at lake Powell. It's been a long motion filled week.

And it wouldn't be summer without swimming lessons and some summer mustache fun!
