This summer has been sailing away from us this year. I don't know if it is due to the fact that it doesn't really "feel" like summer weather-wise. It has only been warm weather since June, and it is usually quite a bit hotter than it has been. Now, don't get me wrong, this isn't a complaint! I have loved the weather being a little cooler! It's nice to be able to go play outside in the middle of the day and not be too hot!
The girls have loved having their Grammie off work for the summer! They have been having weekly "parties"! From the Turtle party, full of painting and hula dancing, to the Kung Fu Panda party, going to the movie and Panda Express. There was the "Picnic in the Park" party, which surprisingly was perfectly named! :) This last one, I think may have been their favorite so far, the "Fancy Hands" party; manicures and fancy hair, done at the salon (well, Evans, it's close right? haha) dancing with Papa and a tea party! They wait weekly for their invitations from Grammie! :)
We were able to break away for the Petersen Family Reunion. What a Blast!! We went to Little Creek Cabin, up Paragonah Canyon. We rode four wheelers, Grandpa's horse, shot clay pigeons, painted faces, eat YUMMY food, and had sooo sooo much fun! I love going to the cabin so much. It is huge, just right for our family! Everyone had a place of their own; and the kiddos LOVED sleeping in the loft!
Just this last weekend, we were able to take our little family and go camping. We went to our coveted spot up by Yankee Meadow. We love it up there. It is cool, beautiful and isn't that far. We took the four wheeler on an Amazing ride. It was bumpy for me, as I was on the back, but it was well worth the bruise. We were able to see down on Yankee Lake, and then drove down the other side to Panguitch lake. Both lakes were full and beautiful! We picniced by the stream and LOVED every peaceful minute. We were sad to come back home to reality, but we sure love our little escapes!
These girls sure missed their daddy!!!
