Summer 2013

I sure love me some Summertime.  We had an easy and wonderful one around here.  We moved out to Nibley at the end of June and we have been enjoying all the advantages of a yard and country roads for bike rides.  We swam, and traveled, and played with our family, and etc.  

Enjoying our new yard and the summer heat.  (Which also tried to kill our grass) 

 So brave!

 He's a natural.

We moved in too late to plant much in our garden so it was just a box of dirt for Atticus to enjoy. 

 He's a good helper.

Two different zoos.  Willow Park Zoo with cousins Eli, Crew, and Lydia.

 Hogle Zoo with mom and dad.  

This is him being an elephant.

 I love him looking up at the giraffes

 Gorilla bum!

We got to have a puppy for a day.  The kid thought it was the peak of his existence.  He would love and cuddle it, but then if it approached him, he'd get nervous and run away.

 Laying out on the 4th of July

 I always love watching Jimmy wakeboard

Atticus loved the boat.  Even the times he'd fall asleep on the boat.  He loved swimming breaks the best.   

 These are my parents.  They're 55 years old.

We spent some time at the Bronson's cabin.  We love it up there.  It is perfection.

 He spends hours on the swings.

 Naptime with Papa Jon.

Enjoying our new country life in Nibley.

 Sharing means shoving a popsicle in my face.

 Hanging out at the fair and rodeo.

 Our favorite views from our new bike ride route.  This is seriously on our street.

Atticus has become an expert at staying hydrated.

I'm always sad when summer's over.  It puts boating, flip flops, and non-freezing roof sitting on hold.  But it helped immensely that the end of summer didn't mean the end of spending all day with my kid.  We are having a blast with no teaching to worry about.
