Him and the 3 Her's: A Boat & A Mermaid

To kick off summer we went south to St. George for some boating and fun in the sun with KC's cousins and their families. We also took the older girls to see The Little Mermaid at Tuachan. It was so good...everyone young and old LOVED it!

The first night we hit up the fun splash park downtown. The girls were itching to put on their swimsuits and play in the water...

This is a momentous occasion...the first time maycee made friends with a random kid and played! She is a little shy...

She must have been feeling awful brave that day...she never gets this crazy in the fountains. So proud of her!!

Just a little cold after all the fountain fun!

She learned about using the sidewalk to warm up. LOVED watching her do something I vividly remember doing when I was little!

Later on that night we met up with the Andersons and the Eves. We ditched all the kids and went to an adult only movie and a LATE dinner.

The next day we packed the cars up and headed for a day on the water at Sand Hallow. So fun to be on a beach (of sorts) and have some boat time (thanks Taylor). The kids all raced straight for the sand and in no time they were all getting dirty in the red sand.

Maycee would have played like this all day long...I had to practically force her to get in the water! (notice the hoarding of ALL the sand pails-she's a little possesive)

Layla was very concentrated on scooping the sand with the shovel. She was a little confused and tried using her hand to scoop up the sand and put it in the shovel. Finally she decided it was more fun to watch it run through her fingers.

That little smile makes me smile :)

Can you tell who likes to eat?? Erin and Layla were boxing each other out to get to the orange slices... Jennifer could barely keep up!

Cute Erin...she loved the sand!

KC...showing us his skills on the wakeboard

Watchin daddy getting crazy on the wakeboard behind the boat.

Wakeboarding is alright, but I'd rather be...

Skiing!! I was in heaven, even with the not so great water. LOVED it!

Those boat rides are just so relaxing...

Cooling off after a long play day on the beach! (p.s. - not a very smart mom having her wear a white swimsuit to a RED sand beach!)

After our fun in the sun day we prettied up had some dinner and took the older kids to see Little Mermaid at Tuachan. Daylemarie was SO sweet and made all the girls some cute mermaid outfits...complete with a red wig!
