Splash parkin' it up with some of my fave neighborhood friends.

Toads with la familia.
Evan getting strung along with no nap. Again. Gotta love being the second child.
Slip and sliding with friends. A little fiasco with the mud. I swear it is mud.
Finding new and inventive ways to cool off.
Practicing writing. She can now write her name a lot more legibly, along with Ross'. She can do mine and Evan's with little help.
Playing in the dirt.
Just got to throw this in here: In one week I got (on separate occasions) a free pair of running shoes, a free entry into the Deseret News 10k, and a free subscription to this magazine. I guess I cashed in all my luck for the next decade or so. But it was well worth it!The 10k was the craziest friggin 10k I have ever ran. So. Many. People. Just over 2,400. For a 10k! High school and college track teams abound, as well as people who flew in from all over for the race. Really? After the race I could see why. It was great course to set a new P.R. I ran it in 44:18 and took 10th out of the 225 in my age division (exact same spot as in the Ogden Half Marathon) crazy, no?
Post race food celebration. So happy there is a Corner Bakery Cafe in Utah now :)But my favorite part of Summer is where the kids crash. Hard.

She could catch flies in that open trap.
As much as I love Summer I am happy it is almost over cause I love Fall more. I think I will love it most when Anna starts school. Just sayin'...
How many more years till Kindergarten?
