We had a lot of life experiences this summer that weren’t so fun. In between my brother’s sudden funeral, fire, miscarriage and health issues, we did manage to squeeze in plenty of summer outings and fun. Here’s the “Cliffs Notes” version of our “lazy” summer days that weren’t so lazy:
This is the Place State Park
Hogle Zoo (or as Matti calls it: “Hobo” Zoo)
Monster Truck Ride
Dinosaur Museum
Foam Days
Boating
Day Camp & Scout Camp
Swimming Lessons
Copper Mine
Being a Part of the 4th of July Parade
Hiking
Birthday Celebrations with Family and Friends
Gardner Village
Air Show at Hill Air Force Base
Shooting BB Guns
Train Rides
Watching Movies with Cousins
To truly recognize and experience joy, we must pass through sorrow. To enjoy the good times, we must have bad times. As part of our roller coaster ride this summer, I would definitely say we had more “ups” than “downs”. Life is good.
School starts Tuesday. I am satisfied with all the time spent together this summer and am looking forward to our Fall Bucket List!

Foam Days? Sounds fun! You have been through a lot this summer! It takes a strong person to still be able to count the blessings among the sorrow and near disasters! Your family is blessed to have you for their mom. And I'm blessed to have you for a friend!
It looks like you had a great summer. You did have a rough one, but it's neat the you found the good.
