Summer Time

I've kind of consolidated out Summer. We had a busy summer. We did lots of fun things and kept very busy...
Yuba: July 14th ish? The Lloyd annual family reunion at Yuba. Most excellent! The only draw back this year was the water was SO high the beach was not there. Which is my kids favorite part! Except Benson who has discovered the life vest is absolutely awesome because he can swim with it without having much talent.

Capri Suns... need I say more? Yummy and refreshing on a hot day at the lake.




Fun with the Aunts and the Cousins!

Yes! I got to go wakeboarding this summer. I'm totally out of practice so I wore out fast... but I almost jumped the entire wake this time which was improvement for me!







This was the extent of the beach... a little to be desired, eh?

waverunning...

boating.....


We also went to Big Springs up Provo Canyon this summer for some fun!

Weenie Roasting, getting dirty, zip-lining, more family: cousins, aunts, uncles, bros and sis's.







July 9th we celebrated my Mom-In-Law's birthday by going on a shopping spree funded by her. We go to breakfast at the Cracker Barrell in Springville, then we go up to Park City and hit the outlets. Afterwards we head back down to Provo where we hit the mall... It's like Christmas in July!


And of course there is the 4th of July! Independence Day. Fireworks. Sparklers. And for the Atkin Family, this means Uncle Clint becomes the Human Firework. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of him on here... and he may get in trouble with the fire department he works for if I posted video footage of him. However, he did cover all the words on his fire uniform in order to conceal the department he worked for. All I can say is HALARIOUS. Everyone should have a fireman in their family!



Easter 2011

I had to post pics of Easter of course. We had an excellent Easter Egg hunt this year on both sides of the family. We've had months of candy to eat from it. Thank you Easter Bunny!







And my kids got to color eggs at Grandma Lloyd's this year with their cousins...


"Eggcellent!"
