Today is the last day Tyler will be in Utah (he flies back to AZ tomorrow so he can go on a scout trip to Lake Powell) so we had to make sure we fit in his final fun requests - Lowe's Xtreme Air and Provo Rec Center. Luckily, my other niece, Kaia, was able to join us too. Again the kids had a blast. I think this is one of my favorites parts of parenting - providing fun memories for the kids. Sometimes money prevents obstacles to doing what you would really like to do. Fortunately, we are able to budget in such a way to allow us these fun opportunities, but even if not, there are always fun things to do to create memories. As a kid, my parents didn't always have extra funds, but my parents always tried to create opportunities for fun memories. I am grateful for their sacrifices (which I understand more now as a parent). Anyways, the kids spent a couple hours at both locations before heading to my brother's, Scott, house for an impromptu BBQ and swimming. It was a great way to end another fun day!

| I think this picture is pretty funny seeing the kids playing in the pool while the guys are working. |

That picture of Kate and Kaia is priceless!
