Is summer finally here?!?

It has been such a cold spring! Even this last week it was rainy and stormy. But this weekend it finally seemed like summer was here! We had promised we'd take the kids camping this weekend but decided it was probably still too cold to go up the canyon so we had a backyard camp out instead! We grilled some hamburgers, set up the tent, and even made some s'mores on the grill. We still had a lot of fun and it was a good thing that we didn't trek up to the mountains because we were freezing at about 2 am and were able to just go inside and grab more blankets. Skylar actually headed inside at 6 am because she was still too cold. I'm not so sure I'll be up for the whole camping thing as my belly gets bigger and more uncomfortable but I'm still hoping we make it up the mountains at least one time this summer since I love camping!!!
On Saturday it was Orem City's Summerfest. We headed out for the parade and lucked out on finding an awesome spot in the shade. The Tongs joined us and we had a great time! Spencer's mom was in the parade as well as a lot of people from our ward so the kids were excited to see people they knew. Our kids also love the Summerfest parade because it's all about the candy-way too much candy!! After sufficiently filling up on enough taffy to last them two years we tromped home to baths and then headed back out for the amazing fireworks show later on. We had a great night!
On Sunday we went to my brother's ward to hear my nephew, Mark, speak about his mission to Roseville, California that he just returned home from this last week. He has seriously turned into such an awesome man with a great testimony of the gospel while serving his mission. He gave such a great talk and also played an amazing musical number that he had arranged himself. Afterwards we went to my brother's house for a yummy lunch and some chatting. Mark and my cousin, Doug's, son, Curtis played some duets for us. They are such great piano players. Curtis just got home from his mission a few months back and is now engaged to get married. I can't believe how grown up these guys are. I used to change their diapers and it doesn't seem like long ago!! Later on we headed home and just had a relaxing day-Ben's idea of a great father's day. Ben also got to open some cool presents from the kids and me. We had a really nice day!!
