So Long Sweet Summer...

Summer is officially over :( We had so much fun over the summer- but now it is back to reality...school, work, long days etc. The plus side, however, is that I love fall and all the fun that comes with it. So, I am sure the adventures will not end here. Here is a run down of some other fun things we were able to do this past summer!

My sister and her husband opened a massage and oxygen bar over the summer called Solace- it has been doing so great and is such a unique and fun place. They were able to get lots of supporters to help promote Solace during the Orem parade. It was alot of fun to go a watch them all in the parade! PS the oxygen bar is so cool- you should go try it!!
Ryan, Jane and I were able to have a fun day when we took Jane to the Children's Discovery Museum in Salt Lake. She loved it and had so much fun! Here she is playing with balls- her favorite!!They could be sent down long tubes, put in holes, sucked up tubes, collected and done all over again! Jane was in heaven :)There was also a whole little city, just Jane's size that she loved to explore! Here are Jane and Ryan in the house where they found a mouse hole with a mouse family livivng inside...Here they are in the kitchen...
Jane loved finally having the fridge at her own level. It was just too bad that all the food was fake- she would have had a hay day :)
Jane loved the little duck pond!
And playing in the water was especially fun for both Jane and Ryan!
After the museum and lunch, we went to the fountain to let Jane run around in the water! Of course we had to show up on the day where bus loads of school groups and summer camps had to show up as well. Jane was way overwhelmed by the thousands of kids and pretty much hated it...oh well, it was worth a shot!
On another outing, we were able to go to Park City to enjoy the Alpine Slides!! Jane yelled, "weee" the whole way down and loved her first big ride!! I had to sit on the sidelines the whole day and watch...ahh pregnancy, it sort of puts a damper on summer. But, there is always next year:)
Jane also loved to ride on the merry-go-round!! Any time we see one Jane has to help herself to a ride...she loves horses!!
We got a little pool this summer and Jane just has a blast in it!
On yet another adventure, we went to the Thanksgiving Point petting zoo on a day that was entirely too hot. But we had fun anyways. This goat actually bit Jane's finger and she was traumatized for a while, she will still talk about that goat that bit her finger to this day!!
She got over the trauma quickly once she was able to ride a real horse!!
She loved those horses so much! She watched them intently for a good long while before we pried her away from them :)

One last picture of Jane, Ryan loves to do stuff like this :) What a great summer we had! I'll start planning the summer fun for next year when I will no longer be huge and we will have another fun little addition to our family!! Life is so great!!
