Hill Airforce Base Aerospace Museum

We decided to the Airforce museum in Roy today. I had been there before and don't remember it being that great but it was a chance to get the kids out of the house and see some friends. We went with my friend Rachel and her two kids, Ethan and Mckenzie. This museum turned out to be soooo fun for the kids and I enjoyed it too. They even had a hands on portion of the museum where the kids could learn more about flying a plane or going to space. They got to dress up and climb in simulators to try their hand at flying. All the kids had so much fun...even Colby. (Bythe way sorry this is all blue and underlined, I can't figure out how to remove the underlined stuff.)

The Hills are Alive With the Sound of Music!!!

4th of July with the Farmington Barkers

We had a great time in Farmington with Grandma and Grandpa Barker. The kids played in the sprinklers and we all enjoyed hamburgers on the grill. As soon as it got dark we tried to go to the Lagoon fireworks but for the first time in forever they didn't have them. We searched the skys and decided to drive towards Hess Farms in Kaysville. There we found some wonderful fireworks going off at Oakridge Country Club. The kids loved the fireworks even Colby. They both would shout "Kapow!" after every one. It was a fun night, thanks Paula and Laur!

Colby liked to turn the water on and off instead of get in the water.

Brie in the froggy pool.

In Case You Were Wondering

The "Poorly Drawn Pineapple" is a reference from a Spongebob Squarepants episode in which Spongebob and Patrick find a pencil that has fallen down from the "real world" up top that when introduced into their aquatic cartoon world, now possesses the ability to create living drawing that they can interact with. After a series of doodles and practical jokes played on Squidward, Spongebob draws a version of himself that turns out to be unruly and rebellious resulting in Doodlebob stealing the magic pencil and running off with it. Spongebob and Patrick set off to find Doodlebob and discover him in a "Poorly Drawn Pineapple" mimicking the pineapple that the real Spongebob lives in. After a series of cartoon antics including pitfalls, traps, and props created by the pencil the episode concludes in a stand-off between Spongebob and Doodlebob. To conclude, I recommend checking out the "FRANKENDOODLE" episode of Spongebob Squarepants for the complete experience.
