Fun Times with our Pedersen cousins

 We got to hang out with the Pedersens a few times while they were in Utah for almost a month!

We took them to Salem Pond, and introduced the kids to kayaks! And Whitney took every opportunity to become friends with Wade.

This is Owen and Xavier on the paddleboard:

Owen, Whitney, Katelyn, Xavier, Jayda and Maris.  My kids taught their cousins how to jump off in the middle of the pond, it was super fun!

We also went to Seven Peaks since we had passes we needed to use up.

The kids had a BLAST having epic beanie baby wars with Uncle Kjarom and his German accent!

We found a fun park to watch the fireworks at Thanksgiving Point on the 4th of July!  These are out of order but whatever! Katelyn facepainted all the kids, it was way cute.

And since Eric's work wasn't doing Lagoon this year, we took Grandma up on her offer to take us to Lagoon with the cousins!  And Eric didn't even have to go haha.  Emma was brave and went on her first couple of roller coasters!

Jayda and Maris were the little daredevil twins!

Oh and Katelyn didn't come either!  She had Summer Shakespeare and she doesn't like roller coasters anyway.  So I just had 4 kids! And here's Lauren and Emma on the egg drop!

Emma, Owen and Xav, and Jayda, Vivi and Maris on the teacups. A couple of times I took extra kids with me on rides, it was super fun since Emma is so big!

Owen, Maris, Whitney and Cleo are the second row from the top.

And here's cute Wade on his birthday.

and the kids jumping after family pictures.

It was a fun July- come again Pedersens!!
