Next, we went to Temple Square! We haven't been there since the kids were really little, so they didn't remember much. They were fascinated by how beautiful everything was. It was a great day!
I love this picture of the Temple with the sun shining behind it. It still amazes me that the pioneers built it and all the sacrifice that went into it. AMAZING!
Here, Mark and the girls were just looking up at the temple, and I thought it made a cute picture!
Everyone made a wish in the reflecting pool!
I love this picture with the reflecting pool and the temple behind!
The kids were amazed at the beautiful wood work that is in the Tabernacle!
This was the coolest thing, watching the kids faces as they walked up the ramp and turned the corner to see the Christus! It is so big and beautiful! You could really feel the spirit as you sat in this room.
Our next stop was to Aunt Cathy and Uncle Rudy's in Orem. Mark calls it the "Diederich Pool and Spa" I don't know about the spa part, but there is definitely a pool. It was very relaxing and good to see family. We had a great time and feel fortunate to have such a great family!!!
Bailey loved jumping off the diving board!
This is a "Noodle boat" that the kids made. All the cousins were there a lot to play with!
Bailey posing...cute!
Coopie jumping off the diving board!
Bailey and Callie had a great time together. 
Logan and Cooper were little buddies!
Tiff, Logan, and Addie!
Rye-Rye and Ellie Belly had fun playing together. It is so great to get to spend time with cousins!
Tren and Ethan are Gang-sta's...Fo Sho!!
Ryann jumping off the diving board. We couldn't get Ryann out of the pool for 2 days straight! She loves the water!!! She got a pretty bad sunburn even though we put sunscreen on her constantly!
CANNON- BALL!!!!!
The slide was a favorite!
Cooper was scared to go down the slide at first, but after he did it the first time, we couldn't get him to stop. He did however, have to plug his nose every time!!!
Ryann the fishy!
Bailey
Coop-Doop!
We went up Provo Canyon and had a cook-out with all the cousins and their families! It was so fun relaxing and hanging out with everyone. They always make a special effort to make sure we have a good time when we're there! And it was great!
After eating Troy took some of the older kids hiking to Bridal Veil Falls. The rest of us drove up the canyon and met them there! They decided to climb up the falls. It was so high. I was freaking out a little bit, but the kids had a blast!
The little kids played in the rocks and water below the falls. They had a great time but got SOAKING wet!
Here they are on their way up the falls.
Bailey and Callie had fun getting wet!
Here is how high the falls are. The kids and Troy got about half way to the top! Ryann told me that this was the "funnest thing she had ever done!!!!"
Next we were off to Lagoon! We try to get here every summer and the kids look forward to it every year. Here we are in front of the "Welcome to Lagoon" sign. The kids would barely sit still, they were so anxious to get going! We got there right after it opened, and stayed until it closed that night! What a fun, tiring day!
Bailey and Coop on the kiddy rides!
They all loved the Lady Bug ride. It shoots you straight up in the air and "Tickles your tummy"!
We went on the Lady Bug several times!
Next we were off to bigger and better rides! Cooper and Bailey wanted to do all the big kid rides but weren't quite tall enough for everything.
Mark and Tren....were the only two who wanted to do "The Samuri"...too scary for the rest of us!
Tilt- A-Puke! I could not do this ride.... it makes me sick!
Daddy did all the twirly, spinning, puking rides with the kids!
We had to do the Carosel!
This is the old wooden rollarcoaster! Ryann was so scared to go on it, but after her first time, it became her favorite ride!
We had a great time at Lagoon! I even went on the Wicked with Tren! I was scared to death! It was so fun though, that we did it again!!!
