4th and Fun

We had some fun this last week with family coming up to visit. The first clip in the video is of Harmony and her cousin, Cameron playing in Grandma Layton's backyard on the splash pad. It was a hot day, and I think they liked it! Harmony had her first fireworks experience on the fourth at our house, which she apparently tolerated, as you will see in the video. Also, earlier that day, we went to the park with Ben's brother Sam, and his family, and with our friends the Abraham's!

Finally!

June has been the busiest month we've had in a long time! Aside from Ben's crazy work schedule, we've had a lot of fun things go on around here. Before the month ended, we squeezed in a couple more things :)

Most importantly-

We went swimming!!! :) I've been dying to go swimming, basically, since last summer ended. On Monday, we finally went to the pool, and Harmony got to have her first swimming experience! She really liked it! The pool was neat, because it tapered off like a seashore, so that the really little kids could run around, and Harmony could crawl around and splash in the water. She loved it. She also really loved to be buoyant and bounce up and down. She kept putting her face down in the water tho, but only swallowed a bucket full of water once :)



Here is a video of her in the water with Ben. I couldn't get her to look at me tho. I guess she was too focused on that cool water! We are planning to go again this week, YES!!!
(also I added a cute clip I had of Harmony playing peekaboo in her crib. She loves being in her crib....as long as it's not naptime!)



Also, our good friend, David Goodman, came by for a visit on his way back to WA from Lake Powell. We've been able see Dave once or twice every year since we've lived up here, and look forward to his visits! Each time we see him tho, we are in a different house! He says he loves to watch each chapter of our lives unfold whenever he comes down. We love watching each new chapter of your life unfold too, Dave!



We're looking forward to July, having Ben's brother and sister and their families come visit this week, and for my dad come up for visit for our yearly family reunion!
