Summer was fun!

Summer Fun

I hate to say that it's time for me to head back to a new school year. I've been slow to post this summer- it's been quite busy! I worked a little for my Dad, taught Tennis for Farmington City kid's program, babysat friends kids for a few weeks while they were out of town, and even had time to slip in a few short trips. Here are a few of the summer highlights:

Bowling in Park City is free after 10 pm on Friday and Saturday nights! Who knew! Got to love Utah Weather- snow the first week of June.

I went with Rick on one of his business trips to Las Vegas in June- and met Spongebob (mostly I thought this picture would get me some mileage this year in kindergarten). I am so happy to lay by the pool and read until he's done at 5. Then we went out and celebrated our two year anniversary. We must be creatures of habit because we went to the same California Pizza Kitchen that we did last year in Vegas for our anniversary.

Another repeat- had my birthday lunch at Cheesecake Factory. It's just too good to branch out! And I'm so excited for the one in Farmington to open soon.

Played with my dog a lot. Walked him every morning! Rick is good to do a walk in the evening. I love when the doorbell rings and it's the neighborhood kids that say "Can Scout play?" I say: "Sure! Take him on a long walk and wear him out! Then come back and I'll give you a popsicle!" SO worth the money in a bag of popsicles!

We attended the 4th of July Parade in Park City with our good friends the Bushmans. Lots of floats and messages about "Saving the Earth" and "Going Green"- and they didn't throw any candy! Good thing the company was fun and the people watching ever entertaining.

Riding horses in Park City was so fun! I haven't been on a horse forever! Thanks to our good friends Hillary and Jake for hosting and providing the trusty steeds that were very rider friendly. Rick feels he is a cowboy at heart and had a great time!

Rick can always find time to get out the spotting scope and look for deer. We saw quite a few on this ride in the Ranger. We made sure we were back in time to watch the Park City Fireworks.

Witnessed a great fire work show in our friends neighborhood. They were nice to invite and share with us. This is my absolute favorite little buddy Lincoln and Tosh! So fun to be with you guys!

We took Scout on his first camping trip to Fish Lake. He loved every minute of it! We fished in the marina- if you look close enough Rick does have a little minnow on that hook!

We attempted to teach Scout to swim this trip, but no luck. The water was way too cold! Instead he hung out in the grass on the shore where he could watch from a safe distance:

Went to Bear Lake for a Gray Family Reunion. Enjoyed boating, beach time, games, golfing, reading, crocheting, cooking, and lots of good eating! A well organized event.

(My dog is confused- he thinks he is a lap dog. Which is becoming increasingly more uncomfortable the larger he gets. I guess the carrying him around in my shirt when he was little gave him the wrong message about what hunting dogs do. Rick wants him to lay on the ground by our feet. Scout wants to curl up in my lap on the camp chair. He goes to so much work and wiggling to get himself up there- what can I say!)
