What a summer! I was sick for most of it and would drag myself around the best I could so I wouldn't get cabin fever and so the girls would have fun. I did a pretty good job considering.

The girls did get creative in finding their own entertainment though.

We did a ton of swimming, sometimes we would get creative with that too just because we could. We also got to go to Jensen's Grove a couple times with my family and Doug and I took the girls to a couple different swimming pools this year because they actually liked the deep water and had so much fun.

We also got to go to the zoo in Idaho Falls with my sister and mom. My girls are afraid of animals but I thought that with the glass between them we would be totally fine. HA I should have known better. They did like it but they still had to keep their distance in some places.

Then came the fair. We went to the parade on Monday and the first horses we were pulling carriages and Macy just about lost it. Then we saw horses that had riders and I don't know if she got used to them or if it made her feel better that they had riders but she started to like them. Then we went to the rodeo the next day and she started jumping up and down when she saw the first horsey she was so excited. Addison spent most of the rodeo with aunts and uncles so we were told that she really liked it and was paying attention to the whole thing. Again it was a distance thing because the next day we took them to see the animals and Macy didn't like when we got her out of her stroller but sat there cowing in fear and Addison wouldn't let Doug put her down. Oh well guess we keep trying to teach them that animals are nice, it makes it kind of hard though when mom is almost as afraid as they are though, I am conquering my fear for them though. I think their favorite part of that night was the four wheelers and tractors though we had to peel them off when it was time to go and they weren't even moving.

We have had a pretty great summer and watching these girls grow up  has been so fun. They are learning so much each day. Here are a few more pictures just for your enjoyment.
