Draper Days, 24th & Other Fun Stuff

We have been having so much fun lately, I love the summer time its just one fun thing after another, this is the kids watching outdoor movie at my moms, my dad puts up a huge movie screen out in the backyard and we go out and watch movies it is one of my most favorite summer time activities we have begun a tradition to sleep at my mom and dads the night before the Draper Parade, do outdoor movie and then camp in the back yard then go to the parade in the morning, it is so fun!
Our kids LOVE being in the parade with their dad for Canyon View Cleaners, they get to pass out candy and otter pops.
Max is too lazy to walk, he mostly is just there, enjoying the ride, and eating the candy and otter pops.
We always go to my sisters friends backyard for the firework show, its a great spot, no crowds and a nice view...

This is us and our friends and the Pioneer Day parade, we have not been to this parade in a long time, it was sooo fun, we went with our friends Tom & Andrea and their kids, we had a blast... this is Lylah, Bron, Parker, Cole,Levi, Max, & Erika, there kids are so cute and they get along great with ours... we love playing with Newmans

Brad, me, Tom, & Annie

Ha Ha this is Tom & I and a couple of strangers doing the Mnt Dew challenge... we each got a Mtn. Dew first person to chug it won a T-shirt, Tom won, I didn't even finish half but I did get a sweet bandana for participating... it was pretty dang funny!!
Our Annual 24th of July water fight, this year was funny we played all sorts of water games, which every time turns into a water fight....

This is the boys doing what we call the perilus plunge.... I should explain we went to Knotts Berry Farm one year and they have a ride called the Perilus Plunge... and you get soaked on it, not a dry spot on you after you get off, so several years ago we started this thing where you sit and let people pour buckets and buckets and buckets of cold water on you, its pretty dang funny, and like the ride there is not a dry spot on you when your done....
The boys only got 1 bucket of water, there not quite ready for the real deal... we had 14 four and five gallon buckets, we all did the 7-8 bucket Parilus Plunge except my brother in law Andy he did all 14 totalling up to I think like 60 or 70 gallons of water, all dumped on him at once... thats a lot of water....

We've been doing a lot of swimming, this Bron (in the back ground) Carter, Max, and Parker, all jumping on Grandma Maurer's tramp trying to dry off from swimming I had to take this picture cause Carter looked hilarious...

Cute Kalli's Elli, she is the cutest little girl ever...
I had to take this picture mostly for Kalli, she made Bron's Favorite blanket, He LOVES this thing has it 24/7 I always have to sneak if from him to wash it, and this is his reaction when he discovers it's in the wash.... so sad.... he cries until he gets it back....

Parker and Pa-Pa.... my dad called Saturday and said he wanted to take Parker Golfing, so he came and picked him up and they went and played 9 holes and Mulligans, he's getting so Old, dad said he did pretty good, and had a lot of fun he got a little tired around hole 6, but had a blast, lucky kid!!! We went to Lagoon last night with our friends Ben & Tricia & Tom & Andrea, we went for Ben and Andrea's birthday's it was great to go withOUT Kids and pretty funny that we had'nt been in years and now this is our second time, it was crowded we only went on like 6 or 7 rides in a 5 hour period but we love hangen with these guys so there was nothen but laughs.... it was great!!!

Gone Private

Hey everyone so I decided to go private with my blog, after blog searching some stuff I fell across some random guys blog with my blog titles on his blog it was weird and creepy and so I'm now private, I did not want to because I blog stock so ya know, anyways if you know anyone who wants to be added to my blog just give me there email and I'll add em to my list.

Lagoon

So we went to Lagoon a few days ago,with our friends Ben and Tricia and their kids, we had not been in like 6 or 7 years, it was pretty fun, the kids loved it, and ask everyday when were going back. We went on every kiddie ride. There are quit a few now, it is perfect for my kids ages Bron got a little restless, wanting to do what they were doing, but he was able to go on a couple so it kept him happy too, and besides the kids rides we did manage to go on Rattle snack rapids, and got soaked, and Brad and Ben went on Wicked, said it was pretty good, and Parker went on the Bat and on the terror ride, big steps for this kid and he loved em so... But yeah fun stuff I think we'll go again
and of course we had to get "light savers"------------

It was a good time, even with its new additions its the same ol Lagoon. Gotta love it?.
