We spent a Friday at Lagoon with our friends the Wilsons. It was a day of laughter, catching up, walking until our legs couldn't move, and seeing how brave everyone was. Nikki finally rode The Bat, Sadie & Carson loved the Dinosaur Drop, and the older kids would go on anything and everything.
We finally got in a trip to Ferron to visit with Grandma and Grandpa Snyder. What could be more fun the 4-wheelers, feeding cows, and running around the farm? The only improvement would have been escaping Sadie's carsickness....poor girl...and of course more time there! We were squished into the truck with all of us and Daisy so we could take the boat down for the winter. We are ready to admit the fact that we actually need a Suburban. Before leaving our house, Carson ask where we were going. When we told him "Ferron", he exclaimed "I love that place!" That was Todd's highlight of the day. 
Hayden started his first football season. It has been filled with lots of learning, many bruises, and a tired kid! He actually took a nap one day, and fell asleep on the bathroom floor (freaking out poor Grandma who found him) another day he's been so tired. His coach has commended him for his hard work and dedication.
Sadie and Carson started gymnastics, while Sara is trying tumbling and fall soccer. Austin signed up for a couple of after-school clubs. Throw in scouts, piano, activity days, and young men and we are always heading somewhere!Todd celebrated his birthday by running his first half marathon! He decided there were more relaxing ways to celebrate, but didn't feel any guilt eating lots of cake!
Nikki's birthday is a few days later...it's a week of treats and fun!
Fishing at the Allen Reunion was a new experience for Sadie. She loved eating them the next day!
And what summer would be complete without a little cousin time!
A day trip to Bear Lake is another family favorite. The kids love making sand castles and playing in the water and collecting seashells.
Todd and Nikki both finished the Top of Utah Half Marathon in under 2 hours! We were happy with our times, but the real reason we are smiling is because we are done!
Sadie celebrated the first anniversary of her "Gotcha Day". We went out for Chinese Food and enjoyed thinking about all that has happened in this year. She has grown in so many ways and even though it's been a full year, we can't believe how quickly the time has gone by. We "got" the very best China had to offer!
Whew! Is it any wonder the blogging in August didn't happen???!!
