Lagoon Day

For my birthday (ah-hem 30th birthday!) I wanted to not think about getting older, and enjoy being a kid again. So, we packed up and went to Lagoon (it's what FUN is!). I haven't been for a couple years and I couldn't wait to enjoy the fun with Simon!

He had a hard time warming up to the rides, in fact I didn't think we would be able to get him on any rides. Luckily "Bulgy the Whale" came through for us and he loved it! PS...these pics are in no order what-so-ever, just deal with it! This is Simon on the kid swings. He really liked this ride and I really wanted to puke!
And of course he couldn't resist the airplanes! PS, we have no idea who the kid on the back of the plane is....but Simon thought it was cool that he was giving that "bigger boy a ride on his airplane!".

Here is the adored "Bulgy the Whale". He rode on this ride probably 5 times! I love it if he loves it.

Ah so handsome!

It was a fantastic day! And I can't wait to go again!

What we have been up to...

So, I've been absent from the blogging world for a little while....sorry for the one of two of you that actually follow my blog! :) Between just enjoying the summer and really just not being on the computer much I just haven't had much to post. So here are a few pics from a few of our adventures this summer...

Every year the Downs side of my family get together for our annual family reunion at Bear Lake. It was so fun! I look forward to this weekend all year. It's been a tradition since I was a pre-teen, and now it's fun to watch our kids get together and play!

Simon enjoyed helping Cody fish. Um...they didn't exactly catch anything, unless you count the weeds in the back cast. But it was fun to watch the fish jumping in the water.

Nothing beats spending the day with Grandpa!

We went hiking to White Pine with my dad, Aunt Josie, and Uncle Dave.
I honestly didn't know exactly what kind of a hike it was going to be. I was pretty tired after and was also impressed that Simon did the hike (with a little help from grandpa and dad's shoulder rides). It was a beautiful hike though!

In the many years of my life that we have gone to Bear Lake I have not once stopped by the scenic over look. So, we decided to stop this time.

July also included Birthday month for Hayley! :)

And I had the pleasure (insert sarcasm here) or spending a week in Phoenix for work. Um....can anyone say 114 degrees????

And of course we spent a lot of time running through the sprinklers. I love this pic of Simon!!

Well, there you have it. Our fun filled summer thus far. We still have a Lagoon trip planned, and of course ahem- my birthday. :)
