Bartholomew Park and Pond

 Lizzie (my sister) found this fun little pond in Springville, Utah, and we all had a great time there yesterday. We played in the sand, paddled around in kayaks, and swam in the duck-poop-filled water.

Magnus ("Paggy") and Douglas
Paggy broke his arm before coming to Utah, so he had to wear a water-proof glove over his cast.
Daniel and Lizzie
Multiple families at the pond had these floating water mats. The kids loved playing on the mat.

Douglas loved the kayak. He spent more time on the water than he did off the water.
Penny and Daniel chasing ducks.

Jesper and Anders on the double-person kayak.
Gideon and Oskar. I'm a wee bit jealous of Oskar's amazing hair.

Karsten caught a fish, but it was already dead and floating on the water. 😁

Penny and I rowed to the other side of the pond to get some pictures.
Penny took this picture for Sara and me.

Happy 4th Birthday, Penny!

 

One of Penny's birthday presents is a Penny board. It has her name all over it.
Grandma joined us for the celebration.

Ready to ride!

I flew home this morning just in time to celebrate Penny's birthday.

Sam is becoming a professional cake maker with each passing birthday.








Diana likes the Penny board as well.
