Back to School

This was our last dinner before school.  Everyone held up fingers to represent their grade.  Daddy gave all of the kids a beautiful blessing before school.  We are so grateful for him!

The last dessert request before school.

Brady 8th Grade.

Brady has grown a little too fast and now he has knee problems (Osgood Schlatter).

Love this pic.

Coming home after a long, hot day.  Our schools here in Morgan don't have air conditioning.  Yikes - it is so hot!

For our last activity before school started, we did the Max Zip Line in Provo Canyon.  Before we took this picture, Chad said, "Michele, do you want to take your helmet off for the picture?"  I told him that I was fine.  As I look at this picture, I can see why he recommended that I take it off.  :)  I look like a goof ball.  Anyway, we had a lot of fun and the kids were so brave.  I had a little tizzy fit with one of the guides because she didn't know what she was doing as she tried to hook Cate with me.  I won't go into details, but after 30 minutes on a tree stand (and my stubbornness), somebody else came to help us.

This was the longest and steepest of the zip lines.  I believe we did 6 of them.
