Memorial Weekend Fun!

We got our first attempt at a garden planted yesterday. The boys were very anxious to help and are excited to eat what we grow - hopefully something grows! :) We planted peas, carrots, cucumbers, spinach, onions, zuchinni, cantaloupe and tomatoes (from seeds) which we've learned after will probably NOT work here. We are learning - I guess we have to start somewhere. Here is the before shot - if we get anything to grow I'll post more pictures.
On Saturday my Mother In Law rented the 21' tall inflatable waterslide that we rented last fall with our friends. It is from Idaho Fun Jumps here in Idaho Falls. It is so much fun! We had it for 8 hours and spent all day enjoying the nice weather, eatting yummy food and playing on the slide.
After playing outside in the sun all day on Friday - Ty got heat stroke or heat exhaustion or something Friday night. He had 104 + fever and was just shaking from the chills. His breathing and heart rate were super fast. After some Motrin his fever slowly started to break and he was completely fine by morning. But on Saturday he took it easy and was in the shade a lot.
Here he is chillin' with Rich's hat and sunglasses.

Again - Ty relaxing on the slide
I packed Zack up the slide a few times. He cried the whole way climbing up and coming down - but I think he secretly liked it :) Kade was doing all sorts of tricks on the slide but the front flip was one of the more impressive. He and his cousin Riley played on the slide for the full 8 hours.
