REAL Salt Lake Soccer Game

Juan and I in front of Rio Tinto Stadium. It was a VERY HOT day in Sandy, Utah only about 101 degrees. YUCK!!! But we had a fun day.
The kids in front of Rio Tinto stadium. They were hot and ready to go home.

Carlos enjoying his $4.00 ICEE. It was well worth it in the HOT Stadium of 101 degrees.


The Real soccer team playing. They tied the game and it was fun to watch a professional soccer team.

Carson and his soccer team had the opportunity to put on the half time show and have a little scrimmage. It was fun and they too tied 2-2.

Carson and his soccer team also had the opportunity to carry out the Real Flag at the start of the game while they announced the team. A highlight of the game.


Can you spot Carson. The flag needed about 100 people to carry the flag.


The kids hiding in any shade they could find.

A big highlight was going to this restaurant in Roy, Utah. This Burger Bar is famous for their homemade everything and have been feature on the famous Diners, Drive-in, and Dives. It was great but The onion rings were the absolute BEST!!!!

Carlos in Tigerball....The Craigo's team!!!!

Carlos IS LEARNING TO WATCH THE BALL. IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT THEN SOCCER.
Carlos playing in the outfield. He has fun and that's what matters.

Carlos with his buddies. I took both boys home to play for about 5 hours. A house full of boys because Michaela was at her friends. I survived.

Carlos in his warm clothes because it was about 45 degrees. It is now 93 degrees and we are HOT!!!


Carlos posing for a mom picture. Thank you Carlos!

Nana's stay in Idaho and Island park with friends.

Old Faithful remains faithful.
A tour bus for Yellowstone National Park.

One of the several Buffalo we saw on the road. I must say he looked to be the biggest


The cabin we stayed in. It was beautiful and a great fun time.

Rainbow and Kelia on the deck while Michaela takes the picture of another great rainbow. Can you see the double rainbow?

View from the cabin of Henry's Lake.


Some great views of Island Park and Yellowstone.

Feeding the fish, seagulls, and muskrat. Tegan, Michaela and the back of Carlos.


One of several rainbows we were lucky to see. This one had the brightness colors I have ever seen. Michaela was the great photographer of many of the rainbows.

The kids a a tree. This one is for you Mom. You love this type of thing and the kids were already to pose.

Our time at Yellowstone National park was great because we got into the park for free that day and enjoyed great ice cream and company with great friends.

The sign says it all and can you tell who was ready for the picture. She is our star.

More furniture Chuto has made and from scratch. He goes hiking for wood and brings it out and turns it into great and beautiful furniture of all sorts.

More of Chuto's shop .

The family with Chuto. He made our bed and decided to give us more great log furniture. He is a nice uncle. They are in front of his shop. He makes most of the wood furniture at all the hotels in Island Park. Very talented young man.


Carlos on the dock. It seems I only got a picture of him on the deck. What a slacker I am with all the other kids.

Michaela and Camryn on the deck and Michaela was a great help with Camryn. She even took her down to the dock once but it was quite slippery and wet.


Kelia and Carlos being monkey's. The cabin had great entertainment for all and was log cabinish all the way through. It was awesome.


Michaela and Kelia on the deck of the cabin we stayed at. The cabin has several awesome views and this was one of them. Notice it isn't raining quite yet. It hailed and poured just a few minutes later though.

The family seeing Narcsisa, Juan's cousin who lives in Island Park. She is a real sweetie.

Nana all bundled up at one of Carlos's tiger ball games. She forgot a coat and had to use blankets and Juan's coats. Idaho weather is never predictable. It rained most of the week.

Michaela and Juan at softball

Juan at 1st base. He likes it ther because he sends every girl to second base and wants them to be to third by the second pitch of the next batter. He does well and the girls are running the bases a little better.
Juan warming up the team. He is great at this and helps out at every game.

Here is Juan coaching third base. He is helping or rather the coach every now and then. He enjoys it and I think he gets off on sending the girls, stealing a base.


Michaela's playing second base. This is her usual position. She likes it and does well there.



Michaela playing catcher. She hasn't played here much this season but loves it when she does.


Michaela in her uniform. YES, Fluorescent Green!!!! The girls are learning a ton and they work great but when one is off the whole team seems to be in a funk.
