To start it off, the girls went to Shreveport with their daddy for a week. I was ecstatic to have a week off. It had been 2 1/2 years since I had been on a real vacation (without my girls), so it was definitely time for a little rest and relaxation! I ended up doing a road trip through Mexico with some friends, and had the time of my life. It wasn't nearly as relaxing as I would have liked, but I laughed and enjoyed my time off tremendously!
I already wrote about Lagoon, which was one of the highlights of our summer, but we also went to This is the Place Heritage Park, which the girls loved, the Discovery Gateway, Thanksgiving Point, the Tree house Museum, Classic Skating, Kangaroo Zoo, the Davis County Fair, the swimming pool a bazillion times, some fun movies, and of course spent plenty of time at various parks around Davis County.
After preschool got out we made a special trip to visit my brother David and his family in California. The girls love their cousins (and their rats), and had a wonderful time playing at the beach, and at the San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park. We also visited Queen Califia's Garden, which is a very unique mosaic art display in Escondido, California. 
To end the summer the girls spent Labor Day weekend at Lake Mead with their dad, and then went with Ben and I to Zion's National Park where they went on their first hike.
We are so blessed with so many wonderful opportunities!
