Summer Fun

This summer...

Little Lauren came to BYU...
Michael and Lauren had TONS of fun with us (just look at em).
Lauren experienced 'dorm' life.
We enjoyed the beautiful summer weather. No snow! Yipee!
And the fam came to chill with us.
I carried Lauren.
We went to the Stadium of Fire on July 4th! This was so much fun. We already can't wait until next year!

Andrew and I took a spontaneous getaway to Las Vegas. On the way we saw the beautiful scenery at Zion's National Park.
We visited the St. George Temple grounds for the first time.
We went to the Hoover Dam for the first time.
We exhausted all the 'dam' jokes that we could.
Look! A dam tower! Haha...
We took in all the sights and sounds (and smells) Las Vegas has to offer.
We enjoyed the bright lights and crazy people.
Andrew's parents even came to visit! This is at the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house.
We went to Disneyland. I don't know why, but Disneyland never gets old.
It's just so fun!
The whole family got to hang out together.
And we did a whole lot of this.

So there you have it. Our summer has been awesome! Busy, but awesome. We don't want it to be over quite yet, but I guess summertime has to come to a close at some point. If I had it my way, it would be summer four seasons straight. I have a serious dislike for that fluffy white cold stuff that falls from the sky. But I guess that just has to happen to get to next summer. Ugh. We have a lot to look forward to this fall. Andrew will be applying for his major soon, this will be my second to last semester (hopefully), and we will have plenty of opportunities to make more memories. So bring it on, winter! We'll show you who's boss (but please don't be too harsh).
