Summer's End

Wow, I'm seriously so behind on my blog. I have a few pictures from the end of this great summer! Oh how the summer flies on by. Don't get me wrong, I love autumn, but this year I have been fighting the cold weather a little more then usual. I guess it's because this past summer was just so lovely. I will have to welcome the falling leaves, warm apple cider and pumpkin's which I really don't mind, and look forward to next year's Bear Lake trips, sunshine, green grass and long lazy days.


Cowabunga Baby! I just HAD to take a visit to the new water park out in Draper this year for my birthday. Water sliding is one of my favorite activities. It just makes me smile, laugh & all my stress seems to dissolve. I would have to say that Seven Peaks is a little more adventurous, but these slides were still fun. Felix had a good time playing in the fountains, eating ice cream and maybe had kinda fun going down one of the slides.




12 Peach pies. Yes, you heard me correct I made 12 of the most delicious fresh peach pies with my friend Shauna back in September. We made crusts, filling, and fresh whipped cream. These pies are to die for. I'm serious. I think I ate 2 whole pies by myself. Oh I just can't resist! I had peaches coming out of my ears. I did pies, peach jam, peach puree, & just sliced and froze peaches to make cobbler all winter long.

The Utah State Fair. Classic. I haven't hit up the fair in like 10 years and now I remember why. Crazy carni folk. I can't believe all the strange people, and all the junk. Oh the junk! It was fun taking Felix to see all the animals, and he enjoyed all the lights and sounds. Of course we had to get roasted corn on the cob with butter, corn dogs, soda and other bad things. Sassy and Jordan got a deep fried pickle and it looked so delicious. I think the food is the best part of the fair, don't you? Did you know they have "A Giant Gator"? I went and viewed the poor thing for 50 cents. This large reptile was all cramped in this nasty looking shallow pool within a giant trailer. That is no way to live my friends. I want to plan a way to save this majestic creature and let him free.
