Summer Activities

Since we did our big California trip in the spring this summer has been filled with short little fun activities.  Here is a summary:

Two trips to Hatch Patch.  Once a month Amy would invite any friends or family able to come up to Hatch Patch for the day.  Luckily we were able to go twice.  Once with Ryan and some twins from the ward.  The second time Andrea and I caught a ride with my friend Camilla and her boys.

Fishing.  We introduced Andrea to fishing even though she's had her one pole for years and fishes around the house this was the first real fishing experience and, of course, none of us caught any fish.

Feeding the ducks in Stansbury.  We did this a couple of times this summer when Andrea and I just needed to get out of the house.

Going to see Mary Poppins at Hale Theatre with Grandma Joan, it was her belated Mother's Day gift.

Swim Lessons.  Taylor's mom and I made sure to put them in the same class again this year.  But lessons were cut short because the boiler broke at the swimming pool.

Throwing a baby shower for Michela.  Michela is one of my counselor's in Primary, but also a good friend.  Amy, Michela's sister-in-law Jackee and myself threw her a fun shower, I was happy with how it turned out.

A day at the Gateway Mall to play in the water and go to Build-a-Bear.  We needed a Mommy and daughter day, surprise getaways are sometimes the best!

A day visiting with my friend Sharol and her kids.  Sharol was in town for a week when her sister returned home from her mission.  It was so fun just to chat with her again and have our kids get to know each other.

Bees Baseball Game,  I won free tickets online to a game the night of.  Luckily my work deadline was extended so it freed up our evening.  Andrea got bored pretty quickly so I didn't get to watch much of the game while walking her to different place, but Ryan seemed to enjoy it.  Plus Ty Burrell threw in the first pitch, so that was fun to see!

Ghost Hunting Tour in Salt Lake for our friend Jaren's Birthday.  We went to some haunted mansions and the location of Ted Bundy's torn down house.  It was a fun night!

Demolition Derby with friends.  Finally talked Ryan into going to the derby, but he's usually up for anything with Jaren and Aubrey.  Turns out he loved it, so there!

So that's our summer in a nutshell, and of course there were many other fun nights spent with friends or family, but th were the pictures I had.  We were sad we couldn't take the trailer out this year, but Ryan fixed our RV parking at our house so now we can move it here and fix it up for next summer.
