Fake Idaho summer

Turns out we were pretty much living an Idaho summer while living in Provo. We definitely made the most of our time here in Provo: hitting up the rec center for swimming and running 5 days a week, play dates with besties, and cafe rio on the regular.
Every summer my family does a month long reunion, and this was the first time we haven't lived there. So we drove down in June, I stayed there while Dan would drive back on Sunday night and come back Thursday or Friday. It was weird being away from him, but luckily 40 other people distracted me. The kids played from the moment they woke up, until about 11pm. And all of it outside because the weather in my moms backyard is about the most perfect temperature. Ahhhh, Idaho summers. 
We packed so much into our stay and made every day count. Took trips to Jackson for site-seeing, Palisades for boating, Darby for hiking, Rexburg for park playing, Idaho falls for back to school shopping with most of the girls, Idaho falls for zoo days, Rigby for caramel tree treats and parades, and Lewisville for the 11th annual CFFR run and reunion on the 4th of July. 




It's hard to beat the Menan parade and Menan fireworks. The parade this year had almost ZERO candy, but I don't think any of the kids really noticed. the adults noticed the lack of chocolate milk however.

^^Could they be any cuter? seriously. sitting in those chairs, sylvie crossed legs looking like an adult while making small talk with ryder.

^^not everyone... waiting for other runners so we can start our CFFR 5k and mile walk
