~Last Week of Summer~

I can't believe that next week the kids will be back in school. This summer really has gone way to fast. I know most parents can't wait until their kids go back to school, but I'm not one of those. I am really going to miss spending the day with them :) Well, since this was the last week of summer the kids and I kept busy. We went to the temple to walk around and see it before they remodel it, we had a pool party with many of the kids from the neighborhood, we had many late night movies, had a slumber party in my room (Dave was in New York for the week), and a lot more.I don't know what is up with Hunter's smile in this picture. :)

Grandma and Grandpa Ropelato went to visit the church sites in New York for their anniversary, so while they were gone we had a pool party at their house :) Grandma has been telling the kids all summer that they could invite all their friends up for a party. We finally did it.

There were about 20 kids in the pool, and they all had a blast!!! We'll have to do something like this every year. Thanks Grandma!!!

The boats were the hit of the party. Everyone wanted to be in a boat :) They loved going down the slide into a boat, trying to flip others out of the boat, and paddling in the deep end in a boat.

Mckell and Hunter have been little fish this year. Hunter has learned to swim without floaties in the deep end, and can go off the diving board without floaties. Mckell can also swim without floaties (although she stays out of the deep, thank goodness). She LOVES to get on her goggles and swim at the bottom of the pool looking at stuff. Hunter also LOVES swimming around with his goggles.

One night the kids and I were planning on sleeping over at Grandma and Grandpa Wangsgard's house on their trampoline. We went over, played on the tramp, roasted marshmellows on a fire, and played on the wiggle cars. However, we didn't end up sleeping over because their mom (me) is a woose. It looked like it was going to rain, and I didn't want to wake up in the middle of the night with it pouring and me trying to get everyone plus their bedding inside :) So we stayed late and then went home and slept in our own beds.

Lexi LOVES jumping on the trampoline. She is getting so grown up. She had a stuffed rabbit with her and she place it to the side of the tramp, she would tell it to watch, then she'd do a trick, then run over to it and say something. It was hilarious.

One of the kids favorite things is to pull the slide over to the tramp, then jump off the slide onto the tramp. It makes me sooo nervous when they do it, and my brother Richard makes fun of me because that is what we used to do growing up :) Boy how times change!

We ended the week with picking Dave up from the airport. We had a fun week, but are so glad that he is back home. :)
