Lazy Summer Days

I would like to call this photo montage "Barefoot on a Barbed Wire Fence"

This is what I found in the backyard a few nights ago. Mallory had somehow climbed up without shoes (ouch!) and Cosmo jumped right up and joined her.

Let's pretend those are amber waves of grain behind our house instead of dry weeds.

This is what happens when the sprinkler line Mark is working on sprays me and the camera.

See the lovely old building in the distance? It's an old calcium plant, and for those of you who have been here, you know how much I hate it. Good news! It looks like if might be in the process of being dismantled. I dream of one day waking up to see it completely gone.

This girl, she's dreaming of more summer nights like this one.

We are enjoying a few more weeks of doing nothing before school starts on the 30th. After our busy summer it's been nice to just be home. Our days are spent sleeping in, playing on the computer, reading books, working on projects, going on field trips, buying treats. In the evening you can find us outside: cooking on the grill, working in the yard, checking on the garden, jumping on the trampoline, enjoying the cooler temps. Dallin just started football practice (2 hours, 5 days a week!) so life is going to get busier. I'm hoping to enjoy these lazy days as long as I can!
