Can't Believe Summer is Over!

We've had a fantastic summer.  It's gone by way too quickly! We had a California trip where we drove out to welcome my parents home from Germany.  It was so great to have the family all together.  With 2 new son in laws and 3 grandbabies while they were gone, this was our first time really altogether.  It was great!  We surprised them at the SF airport, as pictured below.

Altogether :)

While in Cali we went to an A's Game which the girls loved.

Too lazy to turn the pic, but here's my bday celebration.  My girls sure do love birthdays!

 Back in Utah we went to a rodeo which the girls really enjoyed.... I found myself just worrying the whole time that someone was going to get hurt.  Haha. 

 We've been meeting John for lunch at Liberty park every couple weeks throughout the summer.  Its been fun playing hide and go seek after our picnic.

We went to a family reunion in southern Utah that had a good portion of my mom's side of the family.  There were a lot of us! My grandma and grandpa are awesome. 6 of their 7 kids were there plus their kids and grandkids.   

 At the reunion we had a talent show, went swimming, hiking in Zions and we particularly liking off-roading in the golf carts.  Don't know how I didn't get a picture of that!

 And we've got pigtails!  Unfortunate this is the best pic I've got of them... I'll have to try again soon :)

Other fun summer activities have included zumba for kids at our local library, playing with cousins (especially playing in the water!) and going to the waterpark.  We liked the wave pool and lazy river.  Mia starts kindergarten on Tuesday.  Hard to believe!
