Camping in the Uintas

Now that it's summer time, it's a little too hot to go camping down in the desert.  The Uintas are about 1.5 hours away (depending on where you go) so we took full advantage a couple of weekends ago.

Emma loved using the camping potty.

Brrr...that water was cold!

Everett caught a fish!

It was a tad bit chilly in the morning.

Andy stopped at McDonald's for lunch on the way home.  Emma had to test out his smoothie (and only his smoothie).

Summer Update #1

And we're off....

She should have the front 9 down by the end of the summer.

One of Andy's biggest summer projects--redoing the deck at the cabin.

demo work

While Andy did the demo work on the deck, Emma and I did a little demo work of our own to make a little more walking space around the deck.

One of Emma's best friends, Olive, came over for a play date one day.  They giggled uncontrollably about sliding down the steps on their bellies.

We rode our bikes to the farmer's market.  It doesn't look like it in this picture, but Emma did have a great time.

Within 10 minutes, we were asked 3 times if they were twins.  Not related but only one week apart in age.

Summer Vacation...Almost

Even though we still have a week of school left, it sure has felt like summer vacation around here.  The weather has been gorgeous and we've been spending a lot of time outdoors...more than usual!  

 Emma "graduated" from the toddler class.  She will be in the "twos" next year.  As she was walking across the stage, she spotted us in the crowd and let out a big scream of excitement...too cute.

We went out for a nice bike ride with the Ostroski family.  

All of that biking made the girls want to do a little swimming.

Emma tried to pull Avila in the wagon.  She made it about 3 feet before trying another method.

Pushing the wagon didn't work quite as well, but Avila loved it!

With temps close to 90 on Saturday, we did a little swimming at Andy's dad's condo.

It's not a weekend in the Tullis household without doing a little gardening.

Emma received some cute Dora gardening gloves from Aunt Tina.  

Yep...I'd say she loves to get dirty.

Today, we are off to the cabin to throw around the frisbee and enjoy this beautiful day.
