Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun

We went down to Utah this weekend "suddenly" for Jake's work. It was a very short trip, Friday night to Saturday afternoon. Although we enjoyed the sun and the good weather. The kids were able to play outside and 'waste' a lot of bottled up energy. I had spaced the fact that even though it was 75 degrees outside and a little breezy that the kids needed sunscreen. Kirsten and Cruz got a little red but haven't complained about it yet. Thank heaven for Aloe Vera and Vitamin E Cream to keep the pain away.
Jake and the kids by a fountain at The Gateway. This was our reason for the trip. We had to inspect a fountain and price it out so Jake could do a bid. Jake liked the "sunlight" for the picture. Where have I heard that one before? McKay is upset because I won't let her run thru the pop up fountains in the middle of the court and get wet. It was Friday night about 8 pm and a little on the cold side. I also didn't want wet kids the rest of the drive. Life is hard.The kids are glad to see Uncle Mike at home. We usually miss him with his busy social life.
Saturday morning, the kids are up and outside playing in grandpa's rocks. Who needs a sandbox? Left to Right: Cruz, Kirsten and Russell (cousin).McKay has always been my flower child. That is the first place she went. Grandma's flowers.
We got out the fourwheelers and took turns driving the kids around pasture. There are a few small hills and the kids enjoyed them. That and just being outside.
