Last Day of School!!!

After our (somewhat crazy) trips to Antelope Island to celebrate school being out, I decided to try a more traditional route this year, and head up Ogden Canyon to Pineview Reservoir to swim.  We took a cousin and a friend, went back for Brian when he got home early, and though delayed a bit by Spencer and some stomach troubles, eventually got to some beautiful, if somewhat more freezing than the Great Salt Lake, swimming, where we snacked on cherries, grapes, crackers and cheese, built sand castles, walked along the beach, swam bravely in the cold, and finally drove home, with Little Caesar's for supper on the way :).  Despite my absentee parenting for the last leg of school, the children all had great years--Maddie doing great with her grades and clubs, getting ready for high school, Brent earning a 4.0 for first and last terms, Emily getting 2nd place AR points for her grade, and Spencer earning Presidential Fitness! (Emily asked if he were adopted :) ).
