Summertime 2010

It is really hard to believe that it is already August.

The summer is flying by....

here are a few excerpts from what we have been doing.

We made our trek to the annual Bee's game.

Robyn, Bob and Co. were all in town so they joined us,

as well as Brooke and Dustin, Inc. and Granny Billie.

Adorable Mr. Sully had his first Bee's adventure

and I must say...he was PERFECT!!

Abe's money was burning a hole in his pocket so he

immediately made his way to the gift shop to

purchase a miniature Bee's bat.

Gwynn and Minie were just busy being

beautiful....as always!!

And I was mostly just enjoying the company....

these littles are always my favorite group to do

ANYTHING with!!

Granny Billie was busy monitoring all the

grandkids comings and goings.

Bob was a good sport and sat by her to

keep the conversation going....which is no small task

when she has such a hard time hearing. I really think

she had a lot more fun than her expression would

indicate. So LOVES herself a little baseball!!!

And Mike....well, he looks like he was having

a lot more fun than he was. Mike and baseball...

not so much! But he was a good sport as well.

The highlight of the game for the kids is the

Bee's mascot and they got to get up close and personal

with him!

The "Bee" was all that Poppy could talk about but

when he got right next to her she changed her tune!

Everybody got his autograph!

\ The night ended with a fantastic fireworks display

that some of the kids enjoyed more than others.

All in all, it was a great evening!

The next day being July 24th and a holiday in Utah....

we found our way up to Park City to enjoy some of

the summer activities there. Let's just say it

wasn't an original idea. But the group persevered

and waited out the long line for the Alpine Slide.

A good snow cone can make any wait bearable.

I was busy taking pictures with Robyn's camera

so I missed the actual ride...but I think it was

worth the wait.

Little Miss Poppy Louise has her own

way of passing the time while she waits.

Later we made our way to Main Street to find

a little lunch and the Lamoreaux group

found this little moose quite charming.

Bob headed back to St. George to work and Robyn and

the gang stayed the week. It was a nice

diversion for all concerned.

There was a little bit of Yahtzee playing going on.

There was a lot of water playing and a

day with Sidewinder Falls.

Robyn is kind of the Pied Piper and friends

and family seem to flock around when

she is in town!

We even had another canyon excursion

and refused to be deterred by a little rain.

Granny Billie was freezing but wasn't about to be

left out of the fun.

And adorable Mr. Sully had his first canyon outing

and once again...was PERFECT!!!

It's kind of a recurring them with this little guy!

Hot dogs, s'mores, 7-layer dip, Dutch oven stew and

Dutch oven chocolate spice cake. Yummmy!

A great campfire and a little "Alice the Camel". It was

a great night! So there you have it.

That's SOME of what has been going on this summer.

Stay tuned...it's NOT over yet!

Summer....we love you! XOXO
