The Lake

We decided to go for a drive and find a lake last Sunday, we ended up kind of by Delta and found a fun reservoir that we let the kids play in for the day. It was really quite a nice day, minimal wind and no bugs! Apparently we missed the microburst that roared through Salt Lake and Eagle Mountain that day.
Jade had a blast swimming around Gemma was more happy closer to the edge. I had realized that Gemma hadn't been to a lake and been old enough to remember it. We also took a scenic drive and saw Topaz mountain, and the spot that you can go hunt for geodes. So that is on my list of things to do. I have to say it is nice that Jade and Gemma are getting old enough to start doing some of these things. We are even going camping this weekend (Jade is so excited she has never camped in a tent)
I am not a hot weather person, so when it starts cooling off a bit that's when I like to get out and enjoy outdoor recreation.

4th grade

Yesterday was the first day of school for Jade she's in 4th grade this year! Her teacher is Mrs. Harper. We had a small situation where we had to have her switched from the first class she was placed in, due to a personality conflict between her and another child. i won't go into deeper specifics here, but we have had to do that before. Anyway at first Jade was a little upset because she wanted to be in the same class as her best friend Alaina but I told her we didn't have any control over that. So she went to Mrs. Harpers class and Loved it, made a new friend saw some of her other friends and ran into Alaina during recess. Also the teacher she was supposed to have was sad that she didn't get Jade in her class (Jade previously had said teacher in 2nd grade)
Well it turned out to be a good first day for Jade. Gemma however was another story LOL
