2021, June 21-27

Mike started summer term; Hallie, Eliza, and Grandma saw a concert, and then Hallie and Eliza took a road trip to see members of Eliza's birth family; and Landon saw a scary movie (among other things). Summer 2021 seems far more normal than summer 2020. 



 










The girls got matching twin trucker hats from Moab. A lot of fun was had in the quick trip.

We finally received some rain this week, and while Eliza was at horseback riding Hallie could see the rainbow through the shed she was hiding out in until the rain subsided.


Hallie, Eliza, and Lily had quite a crazy busy morning on Friday, but after the running around subsided the three headed to Lehi Round Up Days. Lily got her first face painting, Eliza got her first henna tattoo, and smiles were had by both.



Mike received some new Mandalorian-themed Brick Headz from Diamond and Caleb for Father's Day, and he made them hang out together with the others he has in his office.

Fergus is the master of the blep. He wasn't quite sure why there was an orange dome in our front yard Saturday night. If he only knew how hard Eliza has worked at gymnastics these last three weeks. At the beginning of the summer, Hallie sat down with the kids to work on gymnastic goals. They have never done this before, but Hallie thought that both kids were old enough now to try this. One of the rewards Eliza picked was to have a campfire and to sleep in the tent. It has been so hot here recently that it finally cooled down enough to give her, her reward.

Both Mike and Eliza have taken interest in photographing nature. It has been fun to see what they come home with when they have gone out on an adventure. Here we see a couple of honey bees pollinating the yellow zucchini in the garden.
