easy livin'

we have been enjoying our summer so, it seems i have been neglecting little "she & hims" here. my apologies, deAnn.;) so, without further ado, here is a chunk of the first third of our summer. besides what has already been posted,  we also filled the first part of our summer with:

swimming, swimming and more swimming.

hiking.

going to cowabunga bay enough times to warrant getting season passes.

patronizing the slc arts festival. 

bbq-ing.

seeing movies galore (cars 4 times, winnie the pooh, kung fu panda 3 times, and on and on.)

watching enough firework shows to last a few lifetimes.

and

enjoying some summer weather with lots of porch sittin'.

{the boys picked this fork art out from the arts festival this year. i was happy it survived the ride home, not like the glass art they picked out the year before.}

 {drive-in.}

 {after movie dance party as only the sitake's can do.}

 {our neighbor bought somewhere around $2000.00 worth of fireworks and put on a show that lasted a solid 2 hours. the entire neighborhood was out watching and mingling. it was quite fun.}
