Week 1
- Fire: A lightening strike on the mountains near our house turned into a HUGE fire. We ended up with lots of smoke, amazing night views of flames, fabulous sunsets when the smoke wasn't too thick, a town packed with firefighters and their paraphernalia at the schools, and an adventure with school registration weaving our way through the firefighters from all over the country. It was exciting, but we're glad our friends homes are safe and we're anxious for all the smoke to finally be completely gone.
- The Olympics. With swimming, running, and oh ya, gymnastics, there's not much that could excite this McClure family more. And we have to do not just watch of course--splits and stretching while watching, swimming relay races at the pool, and dreams of one day being a hurdler champion. Too bad this mom likes watching more than doing like her kids!
- Another gym camp.
- Mom & Dad to Twin for some awesome meetings and then an unhappy ride back for Mollie who was squished in with a new tree.
- School supplies. So much fun!
- A growing baby--walking, yelling, pulling things out from everywhere. (I thought Charity and Mollie were just bonding--no, Charity is holding her down so she won't pull out all the videos.)
Week 2
- Allie in the Burley Parade - So hot, but we survived our first ever Burley Parade (Sadly, I'm sure it won't be the last. Parades just aren't our thing.)
- Camping - Trying to fit 7 growing people in a 5 man tent, lots of camping chairs, a really dirty baby and some really strange older girls, a long hike while Mom and Mollie slept, 2 fish caught, an extremely windy night with 5 of us ending up sleeping in the van, on top of the mountain being blown away
- Cassia County Fair - Cotton candy and a bounce house, Sarah and Dad working at the fair booth
Week 3
- Lots more weeding & picking strawberries for the girls summer job
- Dance choreography (so excited to start back up again)
- Brigham City Temple Open House
- Decorating the Seminary
- Summer's over!
Before & After

The picture of Charity holding Mollie down is my FAVORITE.
That camping trip did not sound fun. You're brave!
We got out of school on Monday to take them to the open house. I know, that's horrible but we kept running out of time! The temple is worth it, right? ;)
Oh, and Allie was awesome in the parade!
Great post, Steph. Too bad you couldn't post the other 943 pics we took.
