we try to kill ourselves with fun the last week of summer vacation OR the reason why my house is a disaster right now

We really tried to live it up last week.  We haven't done very many fun things this summer, (except, obviously, painting our fence) so we thought we'd squeeze a few things in during the last few days.

Wednesday- Seven Peaks.  We've never been before and it was a big hit for most of us.  (Reb and mom were a leeetle grumpy.)

Thursday- Basement flood.  We had a freakishly hard rain storm.  A couple of hours AFTER it hit, we realized part of our basement was flooded. We were very blessed that the water stopped literally 1/2" from the finished part of our basement. After about 9 hours of work,we got all the water wet/vacced  (sp?) up and all the wet junk stuff moved.  (Most of our neighborhood flooded, and most had a lot more trouble than we did.)

Friday- Trafalga-   Brick's birthday!  We took the family to Trafalga for a couple of hours.  Roller coaster, carosel, mini golf, etc.  What's not to love?

Saturday- BYU scrimmage for the boys/men.  Shopping for the girls with Aunt A., Minor League baseball game for the whole family.
