Summer Time Count Down

Hard to believe that it is already the middle of September and fall is just around the corner. The mornings now are crisp and cool, the leave's colors are beginning to become visible on the mountain, and college football is here once again. Where did the summer time go?


MAY
Summer time actually started for us in May with the purchase of a camping trailer. Hm, I think that I towed it to Dutch John and Taylor lived in it all summer. Cheryl and I only used it for two weekends to go out to the Green River and do some fishing. Just might be something wrong with this picture.


JUNE










June came next with Art City Days and the balloon festival. We played all day that day, balloon rides, neighborhood carnival in the park and finally bowling topped the day. However, by the end of the day we were all a little bit crazy if you know what I mean.


Cheryl and I then braved all of my brothers and sisters and accompanied our parents for anniversary celebration in Hawaii







JULY










Don't let the partying stop with July now. July keeps us all moving with the celebration of the 4th of July at the Oakley Rodeo. Within a few days of the 4th, John, Rachel and Gabe arrived from Ohio for a short visit. If only we had known that 9 weeks later they would depart for home. It was grandchildren haven and soon Papa and Grammy were wandering around with eyes wide and glazed open. It was a party needless to say.

Time for a fishing trip to the Green for some R&R. Then it was a three day extravaganza. Ryan and Kellianne tied the knot. A family trip to Park City to play. Remember it was "go big or go home"









Finally the party of all parties, Cheryl's B-day. We all know that July belongs to Cheryl, one whole month of partying for her birthday. We can say for July that indeed we had been there and done that!




AUGUST

August starts out with our family tradition of the Highland Fling celebration. Can't forget about Adyson's birthday party. Another trip to the Green for fishing, well relaxation, don't think that I saw any fish this trip.













SEPTEMBER
Our final month of summer arrives and in the first week we made the most of it all. Labor day was a bit cloudy and rainy, hm, everybody to the bowling alley. How could Jenny out bowl Papa by only two pins, ugh!



Later it was a trip to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point for an adventure in pre-historic times and a 3-d movie.

Summer time is quickly coming to a close and we can't let Gabe leave without going on a tractor ride with Papa.










John, thanks for letting Rachel and Gabe stay with us this summer and play while you were in training. We wished you could have been here for all of the fun too. Maybe next time. We will all miss you guys!
