summer recap

Our motto around the Hatch house is better late than never, so in that spirit here are our pics from our month in Spokane. The farm was little boy paradise and I enjoyed it for the free time I suddenly had as my children ran wild for hours at a time.

 We had a great time visiting with Grandma Sue and Grandpa Willie. The boys rode around on toy tractors and Mac got to take a drive down to Spalding autoparts with Grandpa.

 Cameron's mom Joy hosted a cub scout activity and the boys were in heaven surrounded by older boys, arrows, games and marshmallows.

 Every few minutes Lachlan could be found sneaking more treats from the marshmallow shooting area.

 Mac's dreams came true as he was finally reunited with his best pal Lucy at the farm. They picked raspberries, had a tea party and held kitties to their hearts content. 

 We were so lucky to spend time with our cousins the Rippy's at the beach by their home. They were also kind enough to take us out on their boat for Lachlan's birthday celebration.

 Finally after an absence of many weeks we were reunited with Cameron in Spokane. His internship was great but being separated for so long is no fun at all. We are happy to report that he accepted a job offer at Deloitte IT consulting in Dallas. So one more year at Rice in Houston and then we're heading up north.

 Each of the boys have a birthday tradition and Lachlan's is to ride on a train so we made sure to stop by the small train at Riverfront Park.

 

Summer Vacation

Cameron and I had a much needed three day vacation at the lovely Gaylord Texan in Dallas courtesy of the Deloitte summer intern conference. There was a little too much networking to be extremely restful but all in all it was a great time.

 Who needs the real Alamo when you can visit an air conditioned recreation in Dallas?

 Again we avoided the heat by wrangling cattle indoors and playing golf with a mister and fan installed above.

 Back in SLC with my mom. We took a trip to the farmers market which is quite the production these days. I remember going there with Sarita the summer after soph. year and my disastrous encounter with goat milk yogurt, i still shudder at the thought.

 And finally our hike at Bridal Veil Falls with Grammy.
