{Even More} Summer Fun

We are a lucky little bunch.  This summer has been packed with fun activities, trips, and time with friends and family.  Here are a few of our latest adventures:

The County Fair

There aren't many things that are better than a summer county fair, right?!  Chloe was in love with the fair this year.  She loved all of the animals, especially the mini horses.  I think we blew through $30 in mini horse rides for her!  She kept asking me if it would be alright if she waved her pink cowgirl hat in the air and yelled "yeehaw" while she was riding her horse!  Haha!  Chloe was super brave and milked a cow.  She thought that was just awesome.  We spent two nights at the fair just soaking in all of the fun.  On the first night, Chloe rode all of the carnival rides about a million times.  I was holding my breath to make sure she was safe.  Fastening your child into a roller coaster with an old rope just doesn't scream "safety" to me.  Chloe loved the rides; she couldn't get enough of them.  On the second night, we came home with a brand new baby goat!  Haha!  What are we thinking?!  Chloe just loves it.  Our new goat, Daisy, was crying as we carried her out of the fair.  The next thing we know, Chloe is crying because she is worried about taking Daisy from her mother.  We tried to calm Chloe down by explaining to her that it is just like how Mom and Dad don't live at Grandma's house anymore.  Chloe just threw her arms around Daisy's neck and said, "I will be your mother!"  It was so sweet!  On the car ride home, Chloe pipes up and says, "I know Mom!  You can be Daisy's grandma!"  So - I guess I am the goat's grandma - not exactly what I had in mind!

Park City - Alpine Slide

We were able to slip away to Park City for the evening a few weeks ago.  It was a blast.  Chloe loved being "in the mountains."  Chloe and I raced Brandon down the Alpine Slide, and we smoked him!  Haha!  It is a good thing that Chloe is completely fearless!  We wrapped up our night with a little shopping at the outlet mall.  It was a fun little family night.

Wicked

I am super lucky to have such a great husband!  He was able to find us awesome tickets for Wicked while it was running in Salt Lake City.  Brandon knew that I really wanted to go, but we had been unable to get tickets.  He managed to find three tickets on the fourth row.  Brandon invited Liz to join us.  It was amazing!  I loved every minute of it!

Raptors Baseball

Brandon's mom's work had a night at the Raptor's baseball game.  We enjoyed dinner at the ball park before the game and watched the game from the third base line.  Chloe was terrified of the mascot, Oggie the Raptor.  She would literally have a complete meltdown everytime he came near us.  Poor little girl!  It was a fun game with the cousins!
