The kids spent most of the week at gyms of one sort or another. A highlight was the three days they spent at a camp up at USA Gymnastics World.
On Wednesday Hallie, Eliza, Lily, and Sarah spent time outdoors at the splash pad and having lunch. In the four years Hallie has been babysitting Lily this is one of the few times the four girls have hung out together, and it was a nice time. Too bad it had to end quickly and real life had to kick back into high gear.
Hallie spent her last few days of the summer babysitting these lovelies and some of their siblings. It is so fun to watch them have a good time together and laughing.
Mike discovered that the local Smith's has had this huge mural for four years now. You think you know a place. . . .
Hallie and Eliza went to the eye doctors to get Eliza's glasses fixed, and Eliza overheard one of the employees offer some kids a toy, so we asked for a toy for Eliza. Lo and behold, she got a groovy glow-in-the-blue light pen, and Mike had to try it out.
Here is Lily sporting her free time at the splash pad. Eliza took Lily's favorite food/snack and turned it into a bit of outdoor spa time.
Mike took Landon to physical therapy and for haircuts, and Landon took pictures. He enjoys his new-to-him phone (sans cell service) for its camera and media player functions.
(Dad deliberately made faces to ruin L's pics)
Landon has helped out with coaching at gym this summer he will be able to continue a bit into the school year. Hopefully this experience will give him a sense of whether coaching might be a career option.
Madison, Chloe, and Owen have helped keep Hallie company on and off over the last four years. It has been fun to see their family grow and the kids change each summer.
On Thursday-Saturday, Hallie took the kids and some others from the gym to a gymnastics camp at USA Gymnastics World in Bountiful. Can you recognize some of these faces from the pictures below or have you heard of these awesome athletes?

Fergus and Mike held the fort/graded papers at home.
Mike's work backpack has a fair amount of bling.
Oh! And we got a physical photo of the kids when they went to the aquarium a little while back.
