Summer Fun

So, I want to catch up on all the fun summer stuff we have done since school is starting in a week! This post will cover pretty much the whole summer. I've taken the kids on a bunch of nieghborhood outings (this awesome woman in our neighborhood planned an outing for every tuesday of the summer. It's been so fun!) We also went to Logan and the zoo for the 4th. So, here's all that stuff:
Neighborhood outings:
Kennecott Copper Mine-

Nathan was pretty excited about the tires that are bigger than our house.  He wanted to take all the little vehicle models on display in the museum. He threw a fit of course but the whole thing was really interesting even for the kids!

Silver Lake, Big Cottonwood Canyon-

This was such a beautiful walk - not even a hike really.  You can take baby strollers on it.  We saw lots of flowers and animals including some moose, prarie dogs, ducks and ducklings, and chipmunks. It was so nice to be up in the cool mountains on a hot summer day.

Wheeler Farm-

A wagon ride, feeding geese and ducks, and riding ponies were some of the activities we enjoyed at Wheeler Farm. We saw lots of cool farm animals including a very pregnant little goat.  Shoulda got a picture of that!  She was wider than she was tall, poor girl. The kids enjoyed riding Marshmellow and Nibbles (the ponies) the best!
