The Great Outdoors

Utah is such a beautiful place. I love coming west each summer to visit my family. My parents have a big backyard with a huge garden. I can never get anything to grow the way they do.

This year, my mom bought some cow heads so the grandkids could practice roping. Clara takes it very seriously.
Baylie also gave it a try.
Jalen rode the "horse."
One night a bunch of the cousins had a sleepover at Scott & Beth's (i.e. Baylie's "dream house").
Another day they made tie dye shirts with Aunt Shanelle and the boys. (We're going to do some more of that.)
The kids joined Asher for a lemonade stand and made $40!
We watched Nixon play soccer. Baylie loves being with Ava.
Rowan is everyone's favorite.
We met up at a pond (seriously, why doesn't South Carolina have more spaces like this??) and played on tubes and kayaks.
Rowan is very independent.
Ava earned an ice cream cone for standing up for 10 seconds.
Rowan wanted to do it too.
We joined Erik & Shanelle's family for a trip down the Provo River. It was beautiful and so much fun.

Such a beautiful day.
Clark, Lily and Jonny came to get some produce. They've worked a lot in the garden this year.
Their new dog Watts.
A balloon came right over the house this morning. My dad was even able to talk to the man in the basket.
I love being at my parents' house. I love Utah. It's so clean and fresh and beautiful. It will be hard to go home in a week.
