OK this summer is coming to a close. School starts in just over a week. Eric and I were going over all that we've done this summer. We have really done some simple but fun things to try and branch out a little.
I started the summer by being fired (Never done that before). I then trained and ran a 5K in Salt Lake City with Aubrey and Bryce. We went camping and tubed the river. We got smart and went back up to the same place and just tubed and had tinfoil dinners then went back home to sleep in our own beds!
Eric and I hiked the back side of Timpinogas with my sister Dorothy and her daughter Candice and son C.J. That was a huge undertaking. It took all day and was quite steep. Beautiful waterfalls and scenery and was very much worth the effort.
Eric and I biked along the Legacy Bike Trail for our anniversary. It is west of our city and goes for quite a ways both North and South. We also volunteered for the Summerfest in the Bountiful City Park. We sold t-shirts at the information booth. The Summerfest is where teens and such come from all over the world and perform and dance in their native costumes and they have different ethnic foods for sale. It goes for 3 or 4 days and is run by volunteers. We had a sweet elderly lady in our ward, who is the queen of heading up community affairs, get us to help.
Jake's wedding was this summer. He married Alysha at the Mt.Timp Temple.
We also just went to "Bountiful's got Talent" at the park. Anyway we are expanding our horizons and trying to enjoy our family and our life.
We miss Jason! He has been out 9 months though! We love his girlfriend. Eric says if they dont get married then we are going to have to adopt her. I agree!
Jayda had her one year old birthday in July. Our grandbaby makes our life so full of joy. The gift of a new little person is one of the greatest gifts that God has given us as human beings! We are so blessed!
