Lovin Summer

We had a great time in Utah.  Here are a ton of pictures of what we did.  I have to put them all up now or it won't happen.  Ready, go.

At the Freedom Festival Parade on the 4th of July

When the firetrucks with sirens were going by

pushing Grandpa around

Isaac, Kellie, Jenna and I got to go to Stadium of Fire, which was super fun.  Scotty McCreery, The Beach Boys, fireworks, and patriotic music.

At Hogle Zoo.  It was hot, hot hot.

Cooling off in the mist

Kason picked the gorilla on the carousel

Asher picked the tiger

This picture doesn't really show it, but the boys were pretty dirty most of the time.  They played outside all day and then washed off in the little pool.  My idea of a perfect summer day.

Throwing poppers with their aunts, the boys love them.  I don't need to do anything with the kids, my family just plays with them all day long.

A perfect summer evening

Sparklers!

Asher was pretty cautious with his

 Other things that happened:
-We went on quite possibly the hottest hike I have ever been on.
-Emry slept terribly
-My parents gave me some purple running shoes!
-My sister got her mission call to West Virginia!
-I got to see some good friends

 It was a very fun time.  Now we are back and it's good to be in Eugene too (when the sun is out). Isaac is feverishly trying to work out problems at school.  Here's to hoping we don't have to stay an extra year.  We have snuck in a family bike ride ( I try to keep up with Emry in the stroller) the last couple evenings now that Kason has taken off without training wheels.  And Asher zooms around like a maniac on his tiny little bike.  I think it could be one of my most favorite things. 

...though Asher's stubbornness usually takes him down some side path where he gets stuck.
