What Month is it?

How did we get halfway through summer having only taken the boat out once or twice?! Got up early this morning and took her out to Willard. I am sickly and went along for the ride, but Bridger and I made a great cheering section for the skiers.

Ahhh cool weather

Last weekend we took advantage of the sprinkles of rain and relief from the oppressive heat, by going to HAFB with some quality peeps. I finally talked {sweet} Kari, her son Matthew and in-laws, Georgia and Mike, into spending the afternoon with us. Matthew was so knowledgable about all things airplane related and Bridger was most interested in the ceramic bulldog at the Wright Brothers exhibit. It was great fun, thanks y'all for the good time! Sunday, we went to our weekend staple, Antelope Island and hiked around.

Avian adventures and other things

The weekend before last found us admiring our avian counterparts at Tracy Aviary. We had a rousing ride on the merry-go-round and watched a show about scavenger birds, or conservation, or some odd su'um or other. Then Sunday, went up to Snowbasin to ride the gondola and hike around. (I heart coupons!) did you know they do free concerts every Sunday with a grand BBQ feast up there? I hope to catch one before the summer is up. Bridger ate it HARD while we were hiking. We all laughed,of course, then carried on.

Baby Bandito

To say that Bridger is completely obsessed with motorcycles, would be an understatement. This love affair began when Kelly put Bridger on the back of his Harley and turned on the motor. He has been hooked ever since. He says hi and bye bye to daddy's bike several times a day and yells "vroom vroom!"all the way to school. And everything with wheels is called a "cocosocko" (motorcycle). Needless to say, when I saw a flyer at Wally World for a "rebel rider" photo shoot, I couldn't resist and Bridger was in cocosocko heaven! Here are just a few of my faves.

Take That Great Britain!...n stuff

John Adams wrote this to his wifey:

The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.

I dare say, we did celebrate our 4th of July with pomp, parades, games, swimming pools, illuminations and Mexican food. For what can be more American than Mexican food? We had grilled stuffed shrimp chile rellenos, elotes, salad, watermelon and root beer floats. Mmmm...summer.

Bear Lake

Last weekend we went to Bear Lake with Leslie, Fraser, their chitlens, Rose, Melissa, Jason and little Azure. It was hot hot hot, but we enjoyed fishing, swimming and lazing about noshing on s'mores and famous Bear Lake raspberry shakes while being sucked dry by Mosquitos. All that fun rendered Bridger unconscious for the majority of the ride home.

Fun in the sun

We have a strict clothing optional policy for people under 25 pounds. Mostly because I get tired of changing soppy diapers and trunks. Happy summer!

A Happy Surprise

Bridger played with grandma and grandpa Friday, while Kelly and I slipped away to get some sushi. As we were sitting on the lawn visiting, the sprinklers came on. Everyone went running for the patio, but not Bridger. He saw a perfect opportunity to get soaked. He squealed and ran and frolicked until the timer ran out. He thought this was great fun!
