Late Night Outings

This summer we have had a little pack of us that do late night adventures. This has definitely become one of my favorite things of this summer and I look forward to us all getting together at least weekly.

So, this is our group.

We have Jacque, my niece.



Then there is Marissa, Jacques friend who is classic with coming up with what we call "Marissa-isms."



Ty is our young male who keeps us all in order.



Brad has joined us a few times.



Courtney, my niece who recently came along.



My sister in law...Kristie.



And last but not least, me!




So, what do we do? The real question would be what DON'T we do.

Well, it ALWAYS starts with a movie.

After the movie, we pick something else to do with it. We have done Hobbitville, Look out point, Wall Street, I-H-O-P, (famous "Marissa-ism" is that you do not say IHOP...you spell it out...I-H-O-P.) WE drive around downtown, go to parks, etc. So...if you have something fun to do late at nights, please leave a comment as to what it may be so we can go try it out.

We then usually talk and call it a night. The night is never over before 2:30 am, and then my darling baby is awake by 8. So, there are short nights because I refuse to not get up with my Little Man if I have been out by choice. Thank goodness for nap time, because often we both need it. BUT...this is EXACTLY what summer is for!

Much love to my late night groupies, and I look forward to our last few outings before we have to start to readjust our schedules and get ready to be back in school.

Carter's 1st Trip To Lagoon

On Sunday, we finally activated our season passes to Lagoon, and took Peanut on quite the adventure. I didn't know how he would handle it or what he would think, but I must say, HE. LOVED. EVERY. PART. OF. IT.







We went with Kris and Rand's family and started off at the Rattlesnake Rapids. We were all worried about Kristie's purse getting soaked since she had the phones in it, and by luck, I am the one that got competely DRENCHED! Carter thought it was so funny and was laughing the whole time.



Once we were done with the Rapids, we headed over to kiddie land, and that is where we spent the majority of the day.

We were able to take Carter on all of the kiddie rides and he was amazing. Anything from the planes and boats, to the jumping dragon, to the egg drop, he just loved. Every time one ride would finish he would just say, "again, again." The only ride he did not like was the Ride of Terror.











Dustin and I snuck a way to ride "Wicked" one time and that was awesome. We are hoping to go back next week, minus the little, so we can have a date and do all the big kid rollercoasters.

We rode the train, ate a funnel cake, and again enjoyed one another's company. We had so much fun out there, I truly beleive it was the most fun Our Lil Adams Family has had in a long time, and we cannont WAIT to do it again!

Seven Peaks

This summer we bought passes to Seven Peaks. It was part of the Passes of All Passes, and since Carter was free, Dustin and I bought a couple for us. We didn't know how much we would be leaving Salt Lake this summer due to gas prices and our budget, so we decided we might as well get a few things we can do that will make it feel like summer.







Last week Carter and I went with Kristie and her kiddoes. We spent a few hours there and Carter was in heaven. He so loves being outside and in the water.



I must confess I loved it too. He was entertained, I had adult company, and we got to enjoy the sunshine.



On Saturday we all went again and this time Dustin was able to join us. It was a great family adventure and I think we will be thrilled with our pass this summer.

The Water Ball

Last week Coli, Lou, and Carter were going through cousin withdrawals. The three of them are truly best friends, and LOVE to be together.



Carter had asked me if he we could play with "Colin Man and Baby sister" that day. I had no big plans, it was hot and I thought it sounded good. So, while Stac got her kiddoes ready Peanut and I ran to Wal-Mart and bought a Water Ball. Oh boy...What fun it turned out to be!!!











The kids spent a couple hours running in and out of the Water Ball. They loved it. Stac and I had the opportunity to just sit back, snap pictures and enjoy the BEAUTIFUL weather.











After an hour and a half or so, we called the kiddoes in for some popsicles. They enjoyed the break and sat and played. As soon as tehy were done though, they were back on the lawn.







I so loved having the Cousin's over for for an afternoon in the sun and water. We cannot WAIT to do it again.

How Does One Start Their Summer?

A little like this.



Last Sunday my family gathered around at our place to celebrate this one's 7th birthday.



The weather was beautiful, the sun was hot, and this forced the water guns out.











I don't see all my siblings enough, so when we can get together and get the cousins together, I LOVE IT! They laugh, they play, they get along, and they are family. I also get to talk with my sisters, my folks, and hang out. I miss my brothers, and look forward to when we all can get together and have a day together.











I love my family, and look forward to getting together!

BRING ON THE SUMMER!!!

A Perfect Summer Day

Yesterday was a perfect day! It is the kind of day people are supposed to have in July! It was full of water, sunscreen, tubing, laughter, and friends. It truly was the kind of day you always want more of. It is the kind of day that reminds you exactly what summer is for!

The Beazer clan met us at the in-laws house about 11:00 Saturday morning. We packed the coolers, made sure we had swim diapers and sunscreen, and then headed over to Hyrum dam.

Once we launched the boat, we headed to a corner to blow up the tube and get life-jackets fitted for everyone. There all the sudden was a Jameson emergency, that caused a boat load of chuckles, and then we were ready to get the boat going.
During the adult rides all of the babies either got in the lake or on the tubes with their daddy's. They weren't quite sure about the tube, but seemed to relax once they began.







We docked at the beach, for an hour, where we ate lunch and another group took the boat. We sat and talked, kids played in the lake, and we soaked up some sun. When the boat came back the serious boating began, and the tubing tricks were on.






Doug, Brein, Dustin, and I all had time on the tubes alone. Bre and I weren't very brave, and the Doug and Dustin were out of control brave. They both had a couple INCREDIBLE rides, and had some amazing falls. Brein's facial expressions, her first time out, were priceless, and had the rest of us rolling. I enjoyed my ride, but wasn't being brave enough to get to stay out to long without a husband of mine getting fussy. Brein and I then went on the tube together and laughed and giggled the entire time. It was so fun!





After the boat was out of the water, tank filled, and everything cleaned up, we went our seperate ways for the next couple hours. Everyone got showered, dressed for a night out, and then met back up at about 7:45.

We enjoyed a nice night out, as two couples minus three children. We enjoyed some tasty Indian Food, and then went to a movie, "Inception." Dustin and I slept off and on through it and maybe, I even snored a little...maybe!

We had such a great day, thank you to the Beazer Family for the out, and we are looking forward to the next big adventure!
