Is Summer Complete?

There are a few things that are required to take place before summer can be considered "complete".
First off, the more corn on the cob that you consume, the better your summer has been. As far as we're concerned.... it's been a great one!

And really, it doesn't matter "how" you eat... just as long as you do it!

Next, I believe it's mandatory to attend some sort of Fair. We choose to attend the Davis County Fair, not only because it's close, it's also free! And, really, how do you beat free!
We went with our good friends the Pounders, who we've been doing weekly activities with this entire summer, and it's been so much fun!
You of course have to see the bunnies, the chickens, get balloon animals and take a pony ride. The kids waited very patiently and spent time deciding which pony they were going to ride, only to have the attendants pick it for them. Sam was thrilled because he got to ride a real horse. He was a little disappointed because he wasn't wearing his boots and hat, but he quickly got over that!

He was, as usual, all grins at the thought of riding a horse!

Alex was also excited about the horses too! He never stopped jabbering and pointing his finger while he waited to ride.


I think we have another little cowboy at our house, because he also enjoyed his ride!

You cannot leave the fair without cotton candy and snowcones, right? The snowcones were a very welcome treat! We spent most of the day melting in the heat.

One more requirement is to go miniature golfing. Today, Ryan and Merilee invited us to join their family at Cherry Hill for some mini golf and dinner. We had a great time! The kids had a blast too. Luckily we didn't have anyone playing too closely behind us, so the kids kept hitting over and over at each hole. They were a little disappointed at the last hole when the ball didn't come out anywhere! It's no fun to have your ball taken from you, but they had a great time anyway! Here are a few pics from today.





Ryan and Merilee were camping at Cherry Hill, so after golfing we went back to their trailer and had dinner and visited for a while. Alex decided that he wanted to ride Rylee's scooter. He kept putting his foot down, like he knew what he was doing. We thought it was pretty cute! Thanks Rylee for being willing to share with Alex!


Thanks guys for the invite and the treats! We had a really great time!
There are so many other things that I need to blog about, but there will be time for that later, right? We've had a great time swimming, playing at parks, camping, yada, yada, yada!
The final consensus..... we've done a lot of fun things, but summer's still alive and kicking for 2 more weeks until Sam starts kindegarten! We'll try and catch up then!:)
