The End O' Summer

Today as I think about school starting and how fast fall is coming...I look outside and realize the temperature doesn't seem to reflect this at all. It will be 105 outside today, and it is then supposed to cool a ton tomorrow to 78 degrees. We will see how our camping trip will be this weekend.

This has been a normal, not too much happening, summer. With me being prego and Royce still very young, it makes for some lazy days. But through it all we have had a lot of fun. And I think the fun is just beginning. Here is just a glimpse of some of the fun we have had and the things Royce has learned. I had to leave some things out because stupid me, I forgot my camera.

Here we are at Roaring Springs water park! We went with some of the family to celebrate Jane's Birthday. I have learned that Royce likes to play with running water (only if it doesn't get him wet) and look at water, but he isn't so fond of being in the water. Notice in all of the pictures, he isn't really in the water at all. But he had lots of fun anyway.  

 

We also enjoyed going to Eastern Idaho to visit Trulee and her family there for a triple baptism. The saddest part is, is that I don't have any pictures since I didn't even take my camera.

Here is Royce in our backyard playing in his pool. Usually, I try to always put him in his swimsuit, but it seems whenever I do, he never wants to stay outside and play. So then I have wasted another swim diaper. But when we don't bother to change him,  he plays for hours and gets soaking wet. I think that is why it is important for all aldults to have kids around. It keeps us in check. And yes, that is my son spitting water. I think it is definately one of the tricks his cousins taught him.

I think the Boise Zoo is sooo cool now that it has giraffes and lions. I hadn't been to the Zoo for years until I had a little guy. Now we go often. It isn't the biggest zoo ever, but we will be headed to Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake very soon. I know Royce will love it. I just can't wait to show him the elephants. That is the one animal that he doesn't seem to know very well yet.

My favorite part is that we can see the giraffes from the green belt in Julia Davis Park. Every time we go walking, Royce will look to see if he can find them. It makes our walks a little more fun. And it is one of the words that he always tries to say. Other words he just gives up on if he thinks it is too hard.

We will definately have more fun to come, but until then we will try to enjoy the last of the summer to be had.
