If you can't tell, I love summer. So I want to share just a few pictures of what we did this summer.
During Lehi Round-Up (Lehi's town celebration, if you didn't know) After the parade we took the girls to the city park where they have face painting, bounce toys, pony rides, petting zoo, balloon animals & you can even watch a talent show. We have gone the last 3 years and even Jon has a good time.

Jon's parents spent another summer at Heber Valley Girls Camp. And we got a chance to go visit. When we went up this summer, Sydney was staying with us so she came along.
