A friend of ours is in a water ski show, so Mike and the girls hopped on over there to watch (while I stayed home with a headache- boo hoo) on the 4th of July.
We dog sat like crazy this summer. It was fun times for Daisy with her pals.
While out west, we visited Temple Square. I hand delivered the history of the book I made about their visit to the Twin Cities. It was neat to see the Tabernacle offices.
Of course, Temple Square was beautiful. It was a very hot day, though. We took refuge at the Lion House Inn for dinner, and at the new City Creek Mall which is really quite amazing.
While visiting BYU, we enjoyed the art museum. These are originals of some very famous and amazing paintings- they are huge, which you can't really tell from the picture.
In the sculpture garden at the museum. So silly.
We were in awe with the sky during this storm on the way to Idaho in the Black Foot area. It was at sunset, so it made for a stunning show of lights.
My girls can make anything fun…. this is what happens after being cooped up too long as you drive across the country.
Just practing dance and flexibility.
And we end with a temple trip to Nauvoo, Illinois for the older kids at church. They got to do a little service, learn some history, and attend the pageant.
I thought it was cute the girls wanted to reinactment from 3 years ago when just these 2 came for a camp to Nauvoo when they were 14. They've grown up so much! Still just as fun and silly, though!
Then:
Now (how funny that there hair is the same length as eachother in both pictures):
And with that, I did it- I got the major summer memories down for the record books! I can say that we had our dose of sun and fun and lots of smiles along the way. It seemed there was never a dull moments. We were blessed with visits with friends and family and several vacations, and lots of time for other things, too.
