Summertime is here and we have been busy. We have started out by going to the zoo. The kids loved it. The bird show was the best. The birds fly over you so many times, and they are so funny. Kanyon really liked the bird show the most. Her favorite animal at the zoo would be the Giraffe. She could spend all day just looking at the Giraffe. I asked Kallie what she liked and her reply was favorite animal at the zoo, but really she liked the elephant show. She just loved that one. Taking the kids to the zoo was so much fun. They have been 2 times now. Plenty more to come.
Fireworks are my favorite part of summer. We started out our firework show with the South Ogden fireworks. We went with some friends and sat by the band and it was great while they played. The kids had lots of room to run and play. It was a great night and worth our time. Kallie didn't want to watch the fireworks at all. She would cover her face and not look at them. Kinda funny. Kanyon just sat and watched she is going to be like me and LOVE them.
Baseball. We went to a Ogden City Raptors baseball game, The girls had never been and they really enjoyed it. We got in for 1 dollar. Can't beat that. Kanyon liked playing with the ball she found and running back and forth. Kevin was trying to get her interested and watch the plays. But for a 4 year old, not going to happen. Overall the game was a lot of fun.
We were going to go camping but there are so many fires in Utah that we did not go. We then went swimming at our friend Chase's house and oh my gosh that was better than camping. Kanyon and Kallie were jumping off the diving board. So brave. Both girls did that so many times. It was a blast. Kallie just loved swimming. She would jump to us and swim all over the place. We then had a camp fire, so kinda the same. It was fun to just chat and relax.
The 4th started out good. We went to the aquatic center in Roy and went down the big slides and just had a good time. My family was there and it was nice to see them all having a blast. Kallie again went down the slide. This time she went alone, we did catch her of course, but she still loved it. I feel like my girls are growing up so fast. It's crazy how time flies. Our friends came with us and they took their kids down the big slides too. It was a great night. The 4th was kinda sad at first, Kallie was super sick (got too hot from the day before). So we missed the ward breakfast and the Kaysville parade, we did however go to Layton. Kevin's mom lives right by the school so we just parked there and had a spot saved. It was nice timing, showing up and getting a spot. Perfect. We then came home and let Kallie sleep. She slept till 4. We all kinda took a break. It was nice to just hang with each other. We went back to Layton to see the fireworks, and again we had a great parking space. Fireworks were kinda slow at first but it picked up and we had fun. I am so glad we went. I love fireworks. This time Kallie liked them. She sat and watched and didn't get scared.
It's only July and I feel like summer is almost over and we have tons to do still. Crazy how times flies. Before we know it, the girls birthday will be here and then school starts. Not looking forward to that.
