Summer Adventures

Finally, we have internet and it's up and running. It's nice to be connected once again. Here is a summary with photos of our adventures in Washington and Utah over the summer. We certainly enjoyed our summer in Washington and as always, love the beauty that surrounded us in that area. The last week we were there, we were able to see my sister in-law and my new nephew Cache. Ethan sure seemed to like his new cousin and would give him kisses.

I see some resemblence here...

And of course Ethan enjoyed helping Grammy water her plants

these are the cupcakes that I tried showing on a previous post and they never ended up loading

In Utah we had a family reunion/birthday bash for my dad and we did family photos... This is almost all of our family except we are missing one brother and his family.

Grandpa's birthday cake (the big 60!)

Ethan enjoying the kiddy pool and sprinkler at his other Grammy's house, he loves water!

Grammy took us to Thanksgiving Point's dinosaur museum...

They had a great big sandbox for kids to play in with water and little trees

And of course I had to race my dad, brother and Jordon on the go-carts. Dad beat us all as usual!

We also went to the Hogle Zoo. Here is Ethan with his Cousin James at lunch time.

And here's some of our other friends we met at the zoo... Zuri the newest baby elephant (1 years old)

A DOUBLE humped camel!

Mr Crocodile... and yes Grammy and Papa Marquis, I did sing the crocodile song to Ethan when we saw him.

And of course we celebrated daddy's birthday!

We've had many adventures over our summer and there's still more pictures to come... till next time!
