Fondue

Jackson colored the extra hair on himself on Dustin's I-Phone at church! Under the chin fuzz is a mess of chocolaty fondue.

The kids love fondue. It's been a while since we have had fondue with them. They loved it once again.

Family Night visit to the Boise Temple

We had a nice lesson on temples then headed off to walk around the temple grounds. McCall loved all the flowers. The boys loved the water fountain.

Hilton Family Reunion

We had our second annual family reunion at Quacker Hills Family camp in McCall, ID August 14th -16th

The Neighborhood Gang

We love our neighbors the Osmundson's. Andrew has really hit it off with our neighbors son Scott. They play almost everyday except Sunday. This summer has been really fun riding bikes, racing, playing light sabors, army, drawing tracks for their cars with sidewalk chalk. The Osmundson's have two boys the same ages as our boys even to the month! They have been a blast having as neighbors and Andrew and Scott share all the same interests and get along so well.

The new Oquirrh Temple in Utah

After a fun two days in Park City and visiting Pioneer Village we also timed it just right to catch the last week of the Oquirrh temple open house. The temple is beautiful and mostly tile throughout the whole thing. There we all kinds of people going through to see and learn what takes place inside the temple walls. Beautiful paintings of Christ on the walls through out and plaques describing the covenants that are made in the different rooms after the dedication has taken place.

Pioneer Village SLC, Utah

At Heritage park you can explore what it was like to be a pioneer in the 1800's. The kids learned how to pump water from a well and water the garden. They learned how to pound designs into leather. They saw how they lived and the animals they took care of. We had a great time with grandma and grandpa Blad.

Andrew was scared of the canon and wanted to leave the area before it went off. He liked when they shot off the candy canon thought!

We saw some teepee's.

The kids took a stroll on the ponies.

Park City Utah

The weekend before heading off to Park City we took the kids to eat by Edwards theater. In the center complex area there was this iron man! The kids got a big kick out of him.

Then off to Park City. Dustin was giving a presentation to all the Beehive Homes owners across the states here at this hotel in Park City. He has been working on a new website that will be the main website for all the individually operated locations. He gave a thirty minute presentation on the development of the site and its use for their home. The hotel had an awesome pool that we got to hang out in while waiting for Dustin. He presented on Thursday and then answered questions on Friday. We had the rest of the afternoon to explore Park City together then we were off to meet up with Dustin's parents in SLC.

Park City was having an event at Park City ski resort. All kinds of fun, toboggan rides, roller coaster, bungee cord jumping and the kids chose the bounce house, partly because of the long lines and because of cost!

I let the kids buy a big piece of fudge at the Chocolate Factory.
