Summer Fun!!

Well, I'm slaking again. It seems, I haven't been home long enough to blog. Anyways, on June 14th, we officially added another member to the Ayers family. Yep that's right, My little brother is now a married man. He married Melissa Merritt from Bear Lake. She is so cute and awesome. She fits into our family perfect. I'm so excited to have her apart of the family. Congrats you two!! Well, since it is summer, that means when neither Aaron nor I are at work you can usually fine us at Ross Park swimming or our favorite spot Lava. My little guy Carson is just barely 3 and loves to swim. He especially loves doing cannon balls off the side of the pool or the diving board if the life guards would let him. This last Monday we went to Lava with my sister and her girls. Carson decided he wanted to go down the Hydro-tube slides. I wasn't to sure if he would really do it or if he would be to scared. Needless to say, the last four hours was spent watching him and his cousins go up and down them a hundred times. Now for the crazy part of this swimming trip. I was just sitting on the bench by the diving boards talking to Kat on the phone when Aaron came up to me with the brilliant idea of going off the 3rd platform. I just laughed because I thought he was just kidding. He wasn't! I used to go off the third all the time when I was in high school a long time ago! Well, the lifeguard made us go sign a waiver that meant I was surely going to die and then Aaron couldn't sue them. So then we climbed the really long later of doom up to the third. I was so scared I couldn't even breath. I stood up there for I swear 20 minutes. Everyone in the swimming pool was watching me and trying to encourage me to just go off including my little Carson who has no fears. I just couldn't do it! Yep, that's right I walked the walk of shame. I went down to the 2nd platform which freaked me out just as much. As I was standing there for another 20 minutes I looked down to see my 4 and 6 year old nieces going off the high-dive like it was nothing. Morgan said, " OK auntie Lynz, if I go off the high dive will you jump off the same time I do?" For some reason I said yes and she started to climb up to the high-dive. She counted to three and started to jump and I couldn't let her down so I jumped that's right I jumped. I screamed the whole way down, but I'm still alive and I can say I did it!! It really wasn't that bad, it just hurt my boobs a little OK a lot, but it was still fun, and the best part about it is how proud my little Carson is of me!! Oh yeah, Aaron had no trouble going off the third or the second. What a big TURD!! Well, I hope every one's summer is going well!! Love YA, LYNZ

Lynzi, that sounds like so much fun! I love Lava, I haven't been in years! Hey is the Ross park swimming pool fun? River has been dying for me to take her swimming and we have never been there. Anyways, it sounds like you guys are having a fun summer, I hope all is well with your family, and the new baby! Michelle

Isn't it crazy that as we get married and have kids that our whole perspective on things change? I look at some of the daring things that I did when I was back in highschool, and I swear I will never do them again, or let my kids do them! I've become such a scaredy-cat! Way to go going off of the 2nd platform--I think I've only ever made it off the 1st one!

Hey Lynzi, I'm the exact same way. In high school I would go off the third platform like crazy, and even go cliff jumping etc., I don't know if I'd even dare go off the second now. I guess I'd have to see, but probably not. Fun though. I love lava.

Hey There Hobbs Clan,

It was good to see you all a few weeks ago! Our time went by pretty fast. Wish we could have spent a day at Lava - playing "Keep Away" in the pool. :) Our schedules have been so hectic for a while now - hopefully you guys can come out at Thanksgiving if not sooner!

Check out my blog - it's not as fancy as yours - I'm just getting started. :)
