Summer Wrap Up

We decided to brave the heat and go to the last Lunch Bunch of the summer with Yamana and Taiyo. The kids weren't too disappointed when the creek was completely dried up because they quickly discovered tiny frogs hopping around. Samantha didn't care what we did. All she wanted was to play in the dirt. Here she is running up the huge dirt hill. Ewww Grosss! Yeah, that's a mouse we caught in our garden. We also caught a mole a few weeks later! We also went to a Pioneer Day celebration where the kids decorated their bikes and scooters and paraded around the park.

4th of July

  When I think of July, I think HOT!  The sun was intense every day all day!  There wasn't any rain all month and in fact, there was a watering ban and a fireworks ban.  This year's 4th of July could have been a bit of a let down or a fizzle.  But..... when you have cool friends who make the biggest slip n slide EVER and more cool friends who invite you over for sparklers, missing fireworks wasn't bad at all!  And don't forget about not having firework hangovers the next day and not hearing pops and bangs all night long from the neighbors.  It was a good 4th after all!
