Lots of Stuff...

I have missed the blogging world pretty much all summer long. We have done so much and I don't have a lot of photos for your enjoyment, but I will share our summer stories! We haven't been able to go on a lot of vacations because of school, but we have done some fun things. Back in July my family went on their annual Lake Powell trip that Scott and I had to skip this year. However, my boss randomly decided to go camping so I left Scott at home and drove down by myself for 1 night. I had a blast swimming, boating, tubing, having a huge camp fire, exploring the cave by our houseboat and spending time with my family.

The day after I got home Scott and I drove up to Idaho to visit our nieces and see them perform in their parade and their town play. We had a blast visiting them and our niece Sarah did such a great job! Another short trip we made was to Colorado to the Red Rocks Amphitheatre. I have never been there before and I really enjoyed it. Scott's favorite band of all time, Primus is touring and they haven't done so in about 7 years. So we made the 9 hour drive- watched their awesomely fun concert- and turned around and drove right back. I love Primus as well and they throw a pretty good concert. The next night in Salt Lake, they played another show. Of course we went to that as well! We went with our buddies Todd and Dano. Super fun.

That weekend was sooo super busy, it was just go-Go-GO. After our concerts, the next day was our niece Aria's birthday! She is such a cute girl. Every year we throw a big party in Scott's parents field and they rent one of those big blow-up water slides. This year we also had a cotton candy machine and that was a big hit! We had fun playing all day and eating lots of good food. Believe it or not- Scott and I dared go down this slide. It was hilarious. Happy Birthday sweet Aria!



One of the last things I have to update about is our trip to the Children's Museum. I have wanted to spend time with my nieces all Summer and we finally had a day available. We decided to go to the Children's Museum at the Gateway mall. We had a blast playing around and exploring the helicopter and everything else there. Aren't they the cutest things you have ever seen??
