Tante Berit! and swim team

Tante Berit and Christian came to stay with us!  It was great having talks and playing.  They took Rebecca to the Nicklecade!!  She won a gumball machine :D  and they took us to Chuck-a-Rama too, where Rebecca and Christian both got some of their favorite food:  noodles and cheese!

 

 

fun around the house:

Swim Meet!  She swam each morning during June and July Monday-Friday 10:30-11:30 with the Springville Seals Swim Team.  She loved it!  Here she was at the swim meet.

Rebecca went to Brigham City on Trax!  Omi and Grandpa rode down to pick her up.  She had a fantastic time being spoiled in Brigham City!
And mom and dad made it to our City for Sweethearts:  San Francisco!

We were able to meet Berit and Christian for dinner one night!!!!!  It was our first time meeting Christian, Berit's cute boyfriend, and the first time I had seen Berit in two years!   It was so great to meet and talk and eat seafood.  We explored more of the city that night and even walked up Lambardi Street.  Here we are at the top:

Early June:  yard work.  tons of ants!

 

Bird Day!!!  I had summer chores for her but kept finding her at the window watching the baby birds in the nest on top of the pillar on our porch.   So instead of doing the usual chores and checklist, we read stories about birds, learned about birds, made bird crafts, and it was so fun!
