Summer Checklist

We spent most of July on vacation in Utah and Idaho. We did all of our favorite things (plus a few more). Here are some of the things from our Summer Checklist...
FAMILY - check

We spent plenty of time playing with Grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles.

TEMPLES - check

Molly and Mike were the only ones that actually got a family photo at the Logan temple. It was closed for cleaning and landscaping by the time we made it there. The girls loved driving by it each time we drove through Logan. During our stay we saw the Logan, Salt Lake, Bountiful, Oquirrh Mountain, Draper, Rexburg & Idaho Falls temples.

SAND DUNES - check

We rode quads and motorcycles at the St. Anthony Sand Dunes with Keith & Jenny, Grandma & Grandpa Davidson, Dave & Heather Paxman. Luckily, there was still water in Egin lake so we could cool off while waiting for rides during the hot weather.

AGGIE ICE CREAM- double check

Our favorites... Aggie Blue Mint, Bubble Gum, Lemon Custard, Chocolate Almond

LOGAN TABERNACLE - check

We took a tour through the Logan Tabernacle. The girls loved the balcony seating and all of the gold organ pipes. If I remember right, that's where I had my high school seminary graduation. Did you know that the Tabernacle was started in 1864, but not dedicated until 1891? Almost 27 years later. The building of the Logan temple (beginning in 1877 & ending in 1884) took priority and resources.
HORSE CAMP - check

The highlight for Hannah and Paige was attending 4 days of horse camp at the Platt farm. See my other post for more fun details.

SWIMMING - Check

We swam in Grandma's hot tub, at the Logan Aquatic center, at the seasonal lake on the Sand Dunes and at Saratoga Hot Springs during the Byington Family Reunion. Hannah started diving and ventured out into the deep end. She is getting to be a great swimmer. PETTING ZOO - Check

My parent's long-term neighbor, Sherry Schiess, loves little animals. Whenever we visit she always has some new animal or baby goats for us to pet and feed. This time it was baby ducks. They were so cute following around behind their mother.
