Where does the time go?

I have to apologize for being such a flakey blogger; Time just seems to fly by. When I was younger summers were so long, but now with kids it's gone before I realize it. Does anybody else feel this way? It makes me sad in a way. I always hope I'm making fun memories with my kids. But then they seem to enjoy anything. We have been to two Real Salt Lake soccer games and the highlight for Mari was riding Trax. So, I know I did this last post but I thought I would back track the last two months. I will be better in the future.

Snowbird

Such a big part of our summer. I have been going there as long as I can remember. I hope it will be as much fun for my kids as it was for me.

Lucy relaxing at the pool. Afternoon hike.

Daddy and Plumber Mari

Our weekly ritual of taking the girls on the trail.

Lucy usually won't sit still for long. But she loves these rides. At the end of the trail there are usually ducks and horses waiting to be fed. Mari is a little afraid of the ducks since one bit her and (in her words) tried to "eat my hand."

Hogle Zoo

It's not San Diego zoo, but it's improving. We had a blast. Mari was really into all the animals, except the hawk that almost took us out in the bird show.

Baseball

We love baseball. Nothing is better than being outside on summer nights with your family.

Salt Lake outing to RSL Soccer

Mari had a great time at the temple smelling (stepping) on the flowers.

Lucy and Mari went to their first Real Salt Lake soccer game. I had to get a picture of Lucy in her sling. She liked it for awhile but was ready to get out. I was happy to have her out too. She was laying right across my stomache. It felt like I was pregnant all over again, and in this heat it was tough. I was feeling for all you pregnant girls out there.
