What was your favorite thing about this summer?

Carter - well since we just moved here, everybody's birthdays and holidays
Haleigh - went swimming
Miles - toy story

What was the worst thing about this summer?

Michelle - giving away our dogs three times and dealing with the kids crying and missing them
Carter - pretty much getting punished
Haleigh - the lots of spiders that we saw at Salt Lake
Miles - the bug
Louis - da da dada da


Why is summertime fun?


Doug - because you can go swimming and the sun feels good and you can be outside to play, eat smores
Michelle - sleeping in, doing whatever we want every day, lots of time to play with the kids
Carter - cause you get to go swimming and get exercise before school starts and have a good time before school gets to start.
Haleigh - Because it's so hot and you get lemonade or popsicles.
Miles - go bye bye with your shoes on
Louis - da da dada da



What is summer like in Utah?


Doug - awesome...you can do all kinds of things outside, it's nice outside, there's lots to do like hiking, or gardening, or playing at the park
Michelle - the ideal summer image in your mind...laying on the grass, lemonade stands, bbq's, watching sunsets
Carter - it feels really warm that you just want to do all kinds of things...go to the park, play with friends, go swimming and just have fun.
Haleigh - fun at Utah but scorpions in Arizon-i-a
Miles - fun
Louis - da da dada da


What is the craziest thing we did with our family this summer?


Doug - moved to Utah and left everything behind
Michelle - moving with two moving vans, two cars and 2 trailers
Carter - it would have to be when we went camping and never found our camping spot
Haleigh - Daddy and me went on the water slide and we went slow
Miles - I say pizza, I say hot dog.
Louis - da da dada da


What was the most special thing we did with our family this summer?

What a fun I idea! In answer to carter's quesions: I got baptized in the ocean so I could live with Heavenly Father again. I wanted to do it in the ocean cuz most people don't get to. The water was in between hot and cold. When I got to the beach I got wet and I also got a cut on my foot from the waves pushing my foot into a rock. From Owen Winward
