summer fun

Wow, have I really gone the whole summer without documenting a single thing?  Well, trust me, we’ve been having lots of fun!    I have lots of pictures and lots of stories, but it would take way to long to cover everything.  So here are just a few highlights:

*I ran my first ever 5k.  I’m not a runner.  I’m not an exerciser.  I really don’t like it.  But I’m trying to like it.  When our neighborhood had a 5k in conjunction with a neighborhood party, I decided to participate.  I’m not gonna lie – it was hard.  I wanted to die during it.  And I was so sore afterward.  But I’m glad I did it and keep trying to convince myself to sign up for another one.

* I was able to spend a week in Tulsa with my sister after she had a baby.  It was fun spending time with her and her husband and cute kids, but I sure missed my boys.  They did lots of fun things, including boating on Utah Lake with Dan’s sister’s family.

*We went to Lagoon for Dan’s summer work party.   I can’t access the pictures for some reason, but believe me, it was a blast!  Lincoln’s favorite was the new Bora Bora rollercoaster and he loved driving his own car on the racetrack.

*We’ve done a lot of hiking this summer.  Dan is preparing to hike Mt. Timpanogos in September so he’s been trying to hike every weekend.  I was going to hike Timp with him, but I’ve had a lung infection the past 2 weeks and just don’t think I’ve done adequate preparation for it.  But it was fun to hike the beginning of the trail and also up to Timp Cave. 

*We bought a bike for me and a bike trailer and have been enjoying family bike rides.  Lincoln often requests to go on bike rides and thinks riding in the trailer is so fun.

 

Okay, this is getting long, so that is our summer in a nutshell!  I can’t believe it’s already August.  Next up for us is Lincoln starting preschool (how is he already so big?!), me starting a new job, Dan hiking Timp, and just enjoying life together!
