SUMMER 2012!

We started our summer off by switching rooms around, redecorating rooms, and painting the walls. They turned out beautiful.

Girls camp at Heber Valley

Mike jokingly got in trouble for snuggling up to one of the girls!

So fun to have daddy at camp

Cake decorating

Amber helped her friend, Katelyn make a birthday cake for her
husband, Phil.  Phil is Tyler's soccer coach along with Mike.
Katelyn is currently Emily's drill coach and is a good
friend of Amber's from High School.

For Father's Day, I gave Mike an annual pass to the Hogel Zoo.

Cabin

Fun at the cabin

We had a summer filled with soccer tournaments!

Brittany is now playing for Celtic Storm on their D1 team.
Mike is her assistant coach.  It's fun to have dad still involved!

Snow cones after Brittany's tournament on July 4th.

Tyler started playing goalie a little bit last year.  He has become
such a good goalie.  He is playing for a newly developed
club team, Dynamo and is the main goalie.  Mike is still helping
coach his team with Phil Lamoreaux.

Brittany and Danielle Kemp planned another fun and successful kid's camp. 
One of the days they featured different countries.  They had 6 different stations each representing a different country. 

For the United States they had a Hawaii set up.

For Africa they had an safari with lots of animals hiding.

Bow and arrow

Tyler wanted a bow and arrow so he decided to make one.
Daddy helped and they made one that really worked!

Richards family reunion
We had a fun day in the park with daddy's Aunts, Uncles,cousins and their families.  We had lunch in the park and then played "minute to win it" games.

A surprise baby shower for Ashlee
Ashlee has been living in California for the summer.  They came to Utah for a Price family reunion.  Two days before she came, we found out that she was coming a day early to spend a day with us.  Amber, Emily and Brittany quickly put together a surprise baby shower for her with her friends from high school.  It was a fun gathering for all of them.

A few more fun activities just before school started:

We have season passes to Seven Peaks.  We had such a busy summer that we didn't make it there very many times, but we squeezed in a couple trips at the end of the year. We also enjoyed many times in our pool before we had to take it down.

                                   

For Family Home Evening the day before school started, we went
into American Fork canyon and had a picnic.

Tyler found fishing line and a stick and tried to make a fishing pole.
