I'm Sailing!

Skipper Steve (aka: my Dad) took me out on his beautiful boat while I visited Utah. We had a great visit while out on the water. Sailing is really quite relaxing! I enjoyed it!!

I'm Sailing!! (What about Bob shout out) I, however, did not need to be strapped to the mast.

Hair Cut

Finally cut those baby locks! William is actually in the background getting his hair cut too.

Cove Fort

We took a trip to Utah in the summer and stopped at Cove Fort on the way. The fort was built in the mid 1800s to protect and assist travelers passing through. We had been traveling all day in the car and the kids needed to get out for a bit. This sister came to our car and helped James get his shoes on and then gave us a tour. This was the greenest grass we'd seen in a while!

I tried to explain to the kids what it would have been like to have lived back then. I'm thankful we don't have to...it was a hard life! I do appreciate how hard they worked and hope we can teach that to our kids too.

Summer Days

Most people here have a pool in their backyard. This is ours...exciting I know, but it helped keep the kids cool in 120 degree temps.
