As I've mentioned before, we are having one very fun summer! I adhere to the saying "families that play together, stay together." Here are some more of the fun things we have done this summer:
My sister, Stephanie, lives in Bountiful and has a group of about six really good girlfriends that she does everything with. Once in a while I join them for some fun. This day, we went to Pine View to play on the beach and in the lake. Here are the kids playing in the sand.
Ashley is such a "wash and wear" baby. She is almost always happy and LOVED being in the sand. I drag her everywhere on all my outings and she just happily goes along. Below, she is with Kali (Stephanie's daughter) and my Aubery.
Ashley loved having the waves come up to her!
We also went to Liberty Park with some cousins on the Powell side. Ben's cousin, Monique lives in St. Louis and sent her daughter, Mckayla, to Salt Lake to be with some cousins. The kids had a great time playing together in the park and on the splash pad.

Even Ben's Grandma Powell came! She is an amazing woman!!!! She is the grandma I never had. I can only hope to someday be as elegant, loving and spiritual as she is in my "older years." I am thrilled that the girls get to spend time with their great-grandmother. I think it instills a sense of self. I'm so happy that they can see the wonderful line of strong women that they come from.
