Farewell Summer

We went for a hike yesterday evening and I realized that it is truly fall. The leaves in the canyon are changing colors already, and it was cold enough for sweatshirts. I have been holding on, not quite ready for it to be fall. Really, I am not ready for it to be winter. I know that we don't have the worst winters in the world, but they seriously seem to last forever here. So, here is a look back at some of the fun things we did this summer.

We went to parades and came home with lots of salt water taffy.








We had lots of outdoor adventures, including hiking, camping, fishing, and boating on three different kinds of boats, a sail boat, a motor boat, and a raft with paddles.






We went on a Wardle Family vacation to Bear Lake


We went to museums. The Thanksgiving Point dinosaur museum with cousins, and The Hill Air Force Base museum.


We played with farm animals at Wheeler Farm and Thanksgiving Point.


We played with friends. Jacob loves playing with our next door neighbor Lexi. I got to reunite with some of my old high school friends/college roommates. We have a lot of kids between the four of us now.


We played at the park a lot. We mostly went to the splash park by our house. We had a cousins play group there once a week. These pictures are from Copperton Park.


I drug Adam along on all of these trips. He is the best baby, he never complained. He is five months old now. He has learned to roll, and he is working on sitting.


We had a great summer. We had a lot of adventures without going very far from home. In fact, the furthest place we went was Bear Lake, just a couple of hours north of here. I am sad to see the summer end. But at lease fall has some fun things in store too, like BYU football, cooler weather, preschool for Jacob, pumpkins, and fall leaves. All topics for another post.
