Mountaineer! Or something.

Oi,
It has been crazy hot here the past few days. This means lots of things.

It means that Z will wear dresses.


It means we get to break out the sweet kiddy pool. Last year if you recall Z loved this thing. This year she HATES it but Aiden loves it. Z won't get in and A will stay in there until his gums chatter and lips quiver.





It also mean that Z likes to take evening walks around our neighborhood. On another one of these recent walks she was offered a large baby doll. She came home obsessed with it. She wouldn't let it go. After a thorough cleaning she now sleeps with it.



To escape the heat on Saturday we went to the "Mountaineer" Festival up in the mountains. It was nice to be in the mountains and hear the wind, and smell the pines.
The festival itself was pretty lame. There were supposed to be gunfights starting at 10am. We asked when they would have the first one at 11am and they said "we haven't even finished setting up, we don't know." We couldn't wait for "we don't know" so by the time we left in the afternoon they still hadn't had one and T was deeply disappointed. She has never seen one due to not spending summers in WY like moi. Maybe we'll go to Jackson Hole next week so she can see one.
Anyways, we ate shaved Ice. Had a nice lunch at a cafe. Saw the Spoil me rottens, had a great time with them. Overall it was a fun day had by all, but it seems like "festivals" around here are just booths of people trying to sell you something.





Wandered around the booths, got free balloons, and Z discovered a deep love for Ex racing Greyhounds. (Surprisingly gentle lazy dogs.)





Z likes to suck lemons.


Random A shot.



Peace.

It's so funny the different personalities of your kids. One likes pools, the other doesn't; one sucks lemons.

You're dead right about most festivals unfortunately.

Little Z is so pretty and littl A so handsome. It sounds like you are having a fun summer. Yes, come on up to Jackson!

I really appreciate Teresa's parents and all they do for you and with you. I always wish we were closer.

If you go to Jackson, be sure to take the scenic route through Roy, Utah. We'll put you up for a few nights. :)
