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.

Happy Days

Here are some pics from our end of preschool fun and Mac's birthday celebrations. 

 Mac at his preschool graduation, giving his I'm ready for kindergarten look. He was very disappointed to learn that he would not be starting at his new school the week after his graduation.

 Here are some pics of the boys and I (taken by the boys even!) on our weekly 'hike' through Memorial Park. 

 More park pics and apologies for the sideways photos my computer seems to be dying a slow death with one function going at a time.

 Lachlan is by far the happiest person in the family (when he's not being tormented by an older sibling or having his request for more gummy vitamins denied).

 Here is Mac at his birthday dinner at Rajin Cajun. He truly is his fathers son as he basks in the joy of receiving a free collectors cup for his big day.

 Bath time is an overcrowded affair at the moment so I thought it was worth documenting. 

 And finally the party of the century or half decade at least. Mac had the time of his life at Grandpa Scott and Grandma Marcela's pirate themed party for his fifth birthday.

 The following shots were taken by Hamilton. He has become quite the insistent cameraman these days so I thought I'd honor his efforts with some inclusion on the blog.

 

 This was one magical birthday. A big thanks to the Grandparents for going the extra mile.
