Guests!

Way behind, but this lovely sister of mine came to visit months ago. We all loved having her with us for a week!

Early morning snuggles:

Trip to the zoo:

Feeding the sheep. Mickey kept poking them in the eye while trying to dig through the wool to find their eyes. :)

Helping daddy fix the sink piping.

Fun with snapchat.

This is what happens when you try to wash dishes with a little one to help.

Helping crack my back into place.

Love this girl and loved having her visit! Until next time!

Air Show, Peaches, Slides, and Bike Rides

This summer has proved to have a lot of potential festivals to attend. One we made sure to visit was the Air and Water Show. Though, from where we sat we could only see the air portion. It was still fascinating!

With so many people and things going on in the city, sometimes we feel the need for a respite. So we drive a couple hours out to farm country...to pick fresh peaches!

Goose has also discovered his favorite hiding place: on top of the blender base in the cupboard.

Goose has really helped Mickey overcome his aversion to slides (probably instilled by his well-meaning, but over-concerned-for-the-first-child parents).

I have also thoroughly enjoyed more bike rides this summer and have tried to aim for at least one every other week in lieu of hiking. Once, I even trekked 12 miles round trip to the zoo by myself. I was pretty exhausted!

So the next time I biked to the zoo, I brought the Mr. and he pulled the boys (the trip was significantly shorter that time...for some "odd" reason).

I am so grateful for the opportunity and accommodations that allow me to do such bike riding here in the city! This outdoorsy girl would really struggle without a good physical challenge (unobstructed by cars and stop signs) every now-and-again!

We Went to a Zoo!

. . . Well, sorta.

On our way down to Front Sight (see post here), we stopped at a petting zoo to see all the cool animals! Too bad it was closed at the time :( For those of you who are interested, this is free (I think) and is just of the freeway exit by Scipio, UT. Take a right (or Eastern bound) turn off the freeway exit (if heading south). The petting zoo is by Eagles Landing/Dairy Queen/gas station. Can't be too hard to find, it's the only thing on that side of the freeway :)

Open May through September (? or October?)
