Man alive, summer is going by way too fast. I am loving it. Loving the heat (really, I do), the barbeques, and going on a bike ride or letting the kids play outside until 10:00 pm when it finally gets dark. The drive-in. I love mowing the lawn (and smelling freshly cut grass), and playing ball. I love waking up with the sun at 6:00 am and feeling refreshed and energized. I just love it all. I could totally move to Arizona or somewhere warm year round. But until I can convince L.J. (which will probably be never), I just have to soak it up while I can. And believe me, I have been. This is what we did over the weekend:
We went the Days of '47 Parade. I (heart) that parade for so many reasons. I love it because it means it's summer. I love it because it's just so well done. I love it because we are celebrating the arrival of the pioneers to Utah. I appreciate and love them more and more the older I get. I love to sleep out at the parade and relax and talk and play games and read and light sparklers and be SO tired right before the parade starts but get a second wind to watch it (we didn't get to sleep out this year because I was on call, dangit). I love it because I met one of my best friends there (sleeping out) 11 years ago. We are still best friends and now both bring our kids to watch it. I love Utah.

That was a cute post. You have the best looking family. I just adore your girls. And so does Austy :)
Hey, summer girl. That post just totally captured the essence of you and it reminded me so much of the day you told me about the guy who rescued you from the sprinklers on the 24th of July.
