Summer is absolutely my favorite season and we have been loving it! Kiddies get to play in the pool, and mommy gets a tan...what more can you ask for?
Summer is also the time when we have American Fork Steel Days. We love this because of all the fun things there are to do during the week. They have what they call "Picnic in the Park" which my kids loved. You bring a picnic to eat and then they have tons of free things to do like carnival games where they get little toys or candy, then they have the BIG blow-up toys for the kids to jump around on. They have face painting (or arm painting in Madi's case) and a little train ride. Then at the end they have an outdoor family movie. Of coure the other nights they have the carnival rides and they have a HUGE fireworks show in the park on Saturday night.
This was by far the favorite thing of the evening!
Train ride and Madi admiring her beautiful butterfly!

(A funny side note, Saturday night we were waiting around for the fireworks to start and this little kid walks up to Madi and gives her the stare down...all of a sudden Ty steps in front of Madi and sizes up the kid who was bigger than Ty by the way but Ty stuck out his chest in defense of his little sis...the kid backs down and walks away while Ty eyes him close...then once the kid was a safe distance away, Ty put his arms around Madi and says "Come on Madi" and ushers her over to us completely unaware that we had just witnessed the whole thing. We totally praised him for taking on the big brother role so well...it was awesome!)

What cute pictures. You can say that you love summer because you don't live where it is 115 deg everyday. The heat is starting to wear on me big time.
