End of Summer 2009

I figured since I was so behind, it was easier to do just one big post of all of our end of summer fun. Just warning you now, lots of pictures! At the end of July, we were able to go down to Pocatello to Dave's parents house and spend time with Kari & J and their kids. It was a fun weekend and the kids had lots of fun playing in mom's mini water park.

One of Amani's favorite toys was the water ring. Her and Maggie used it as a drinking fountain. It was so funny!

At the beginning of August, we were able to go to Reed's Dairy Family Day. It is so fun. They have really good ice cream for cheap, carriage rides, horsey rides, and a petting zoo. Of course, that was the one day in August where it was cold so we had to wear jackets but it was still fun.

Amani in the petting zoo. At first, she was a little scared but ventured out on her own after awhile.

Amani's first horsey ride. She whined when we first put her on but then once the horse started to move, she thought it was pretty cool.

In the middle of August, we went to Bear Lake with my family. It was tons of fun. I had never been there for longer than a couple hours so I was really excited. It is such a big, beautiful lake and warm too!

Me and Dave soakin up the sun!

Amani was trying to feed me sand. Yummy!

Amani playin in the mud with her Uncle Justin. He had made a little mini pool by digging in the mud so Amani decided to go sit in it. It was pretty funny.

We were able to go to my dad's cousin's ranch and ride horses again. The pictures didn't turn out very well. We figured it was because of the building's insulation-but I don't really know. Oh well, I got a couple to turn out ok. Here is Amani riding a horsey again with Grandma.

This is our little dead fish. By the end of the 2nd day, she was totally comfortable with the water and would just lay there and sunbathe. It was funny.

Friday night, we went on a hike up to Bloomington Lake. Dave took his fishing pole, of course. It was a nice hike and very beautiful.

That is the end of our summer in a nutshell. We had lots of fun and lots of great trips. And with the way Idaho weather has been the last week, I guess summer is really over and time to get ready for winter. :(
