Summer = Vacations and Family

We had so much fun this summer.  We were able to do a lot of fun things and see a lot of our family!  Here are some of the things that we did and remembered to take pictures of :)

 Pioneer Day, 24th of July.  This is our celebration, thanks to grandparents, of the pioneers entering the Salt Lake City valley.  Kyler loved chasing the balloons around.

Kyler also LOVED the toy Grandma and Grandpa gave him-stacking cups.  He plays with it all the time.

We went to a baseball game with some of the fam.  It was fun to all be together, eating concession stand food and watching baseball.  Barbara pointed out that Hyrum and I are the same age as many of the players!  Crazy!

The best part of the baseball game had to be the firework show afterwards.  We got to sit on the field and watch one of the most spectacular firework shows I have ever seen!  So fun!

Another fun thing we did was go to a Raptor Center near by and looked at all the different birds of prey.  Here Kyler is trying on bird's eyes.

We toured this very cool Governor's Mansion.  It was very elegant and even had a servants' wing!

We went to Yosemite National Park.  It was fun to spend a few days hiking around and camping.  I really enjoyed walking through a tree.  It was a huge tree and still alive!  Amazing.

Kyler enjoyed the hiking as long as he wasn't hunger or too tired.  He loved being outside practically all the time.  We had a very fun summer.
