Nelson Family Summer Activities

Mom requested summer activities. Here are a few. Sorry I couldn't get the layout to work, but at least the pictures are on there. Maybe next time. I also couldn't get some funny vidoe clips on there. I need a tutorial.


Dad and Mom gave me a great camera for my birthday and so the documented summer started at Seratoga Springs.













We also enjoyed ice cream with the Sorensens, including Tad defending Dima, and Sadie meeting a prince on the tower, and amazing balancing tricks


Thanks Mom and Dad for the cherries.





Isaac received a package from Homare including something that looked like seaweed gum and dried whole fish. We took the Yakisoba to Lagoon with us to eat. Sorry the video clip didn't work.

Porter and Pace won the "no cavity" prize this year.


The Nelson family reunion was in Moore, Id. This picture was taken at Indian Cave at Crater's of the moon. This cave takes a 15 degree temperature drop as you go in. Nice on a hot day. There was also a cindercone also named "snowcone". You can see ice and snow from your 95 degree vantage point.





The boys spent almost all of the 3 days trying out Pace's new BB Gun (bought from the no cavity prize) and also Uncle Darrell's bows. We stayed up late playing cards and watched a great family DVD about Keith's and family's youth.

Lawnmowing for LAGOON. We came back from the Nelson reunion on Saturday exhausted and, using the boy's lawnmowing profits, decided to go right to Lagoon on Monday to beat the Pioneer Day crowds. We had so much fun with daring children. Tad was the Magic height and was able to ride all of the small kiddie land rides with Davis and Sadie and all of the big roller coasters also. After riding 3 times on the tilt-a-whirl with Isaac, I threw up on the sky ride.








Here is one of Keith's favorite rides, rocket launch, from the top of the Ferrris Wheel.


One or two days each week we spend in this garden.




The favorite present on Sadie's birthday was the pink cell phone from Grandma. And yes we do have style.








Our summer days also include swimming in the canal, a profitable slushie stand on the bike path and amazing tricks with the mats.

Well, thanks for reading. You have endured.
