Eye wear, swimming, movies and more....

We have had a fun filled summer so far. Here are some of the highlights.
Ben is obsessed with goggles. He's tried out every kind. Here he was in Idaho at my in-law's cabin sporting the full figured kind.
The next picture is home on our kitchen island trying to put on Daddy's safety glasses.
In July we went to Idaho and attended the Ward reunion. We had lots of fun doing our favorite things in Idaho. We went to starlight mountain theater, spent time at the cabin playing in the water and on the paddle boat, and took in a rodeo. After the rodeo Benjamin wouldn't let go of the cowboy hat. I finally had to dispose of it in Salt Lake City at the airport as it was falling apart.

We brought two of Benjamin's cousin's home with us to spend some time in NY. Kaylynn and Ashley have been a joy to have. We spend a lot of time swimming thanks to generous neighbors, going to movies, and have been to two local science centers.

After a long plane ride, in Rochester Benjamin decided to drive.


This was a cool exhibit. I'm glad the camera actually got the photo of the bubble. The kids loved it.



Benjamin has no fear.
I can't believe how much he's grown and how tall he is. I'm very grateful that we're all healthy and happy and have had so much to do and see this summer. My garden has suffered for the neglect, but oh well!
