Good Bye Summer

I think this is the first summer I have been sorry to see it go. I think I feel this way because I basically lost one whole month due to the "palsy" and the ragingly infected leg wound Brett had. (He's ok now) 

We were able to do some fun things as a family.

We went to Bear Lake:

(sorry no pictures)

It rained the whole time, so we didn't get to play in the Lake.

(I think Alanis Morissette wrote something about our "ironic" trip)

We had a fun time eating, playing games and swimming at the indoor pool at the condo we stayed at.

 We went swimming often:

Grandma Allen bought us a pass to a local pool. The kiddo's learned how to swim and Raul and Ellie even dared to jump off the high dive.

We had a fun night at the drive-in. 

(again no pictures)

We saw Despicable Me and Karate Kid.

The kids now think they are black belts.

Yeah that is not annoying or anything.

We went to the Manti Pageant:

We had a lot of fun at the Pageant.  We were eaten alive by the mosquito's, but it was fun and spiritual (or sperrichal); and we even got to stay at a hotel.

We had a couple of birthdays:

Ellie's 9th                                                                      Raul's 10th

We celebrated our awesome daddy on Fathers Day:

We honored our country and pioneer ancestors

with some of our family:

We drove go-karts for the first time ever!

We went to a rodeo:

We ate tons of popsicles, pizza, and s'mores!

( fresh fruit  and veggies too - so don't judge me)

We are still planning a trip to Lagoon. The kids each won a day pass, because they read so much this summer.

They are pretty excited by that. 

So there you have it.

Good bye summer.....good bye palsy....good bye almost losing a leg....good bye fun times as a family.

Oh wait. I think we probably can still have fun as a family. 

My bad.
