I noticed it has been an entire month since I last posted. There are several reasons for that (although most of them are not documented by photo). Here is a little rundown of our month:
--Zack and Colin took part in a basketball camp the first week that school was out.
--A trip down to southern Utah for Zack to play in a soccer tournament. Just Zack and I went, stayed with friends, ate out a lot, and had a good time. We won a couple of games but did not place in the tournament. The other kids got to stay with Grandparents which they quite enjoyed.
--Came home for a few days and then back down to southern Utah (this time with all the kids) for Zack to play in a basketball tournament. We mostly swam at the hotel for entertainment. We won 1 game and lost 3 but we still had a good time.
--Started the yearly swimming lessons. We are mid-way through these and learning a lot (I hope). We sent Zack off to his first scout camp for a whole week! He seemed to have a good time and came home very dirty. He got his first class rank and 5 merit badges.
--John picked Zack up a day early and brought him to meet the rest of us in West Yellowstone where we were having an Allen family reunion. The other kids and I went up on Wednesday via Rexburg, ID, where we met the rest of my family from Washington. Before we headed up to Yellowstone we visited Bear World. The kids loved it and we saw lots of bears so that we did not have to worry about chasing one up in the park. We did get a lot of good looks at other animals in Yellowstone though, and of course great scenery. The kids enjoyed hanging out, swimming, and some short hikes. We also got to see "Beauty and the Beast" at the Playmill in West Yellowstone. It was very good. I did actually take some pictures of this trip so I will post some of those in no particular order. Thanks to my siblings and parents for a great trip!
Up next: Getting ready for the 4th of July this week. From the looks of my neglected yard, I will have plenty to do!

Looks like you guys are keeping very busy. Oh how I miss the days of getting the yard ready for the 4th! I am missing Cache Valley a lot more in the summer than I did in the winter.
Holy cow, your kids are getting big. Take pictures for me (sad we wont make it back for the 4th). I'm excited to plan some regular get-togethers with you starting next month!
Good job with the camera on this trip! Thanks for all of the planning you did to make it so great!
fun month for your family!
