June Wrap Up

 Just a couple fun things to wrap up June. 

Lucy really wanted to take a picture of Shantel and I and then a few of Shantel and then turned out cute. 

Also, Shantel finds it necessary to send me a picture of Starry any time she sees it anywhere. I was on a work trip and got a random text from her with only this picture. The first time I saw Starry I was like, "why would they make this product and already have Sprite and 7up, we don't need anything else." PepsiCo disagreed since they wanted a competitor, but I'm adamant that I'll never buy Starry. 

Q2 Kid Dates

We had some really fun kids date in April. I took Austin to do glow in the dark mini-golf (no picture) and then he convinced me we should stop for ice cream on the way home. Shantel took Lucy to the farm and had a great time. 

A few weeks later I took Lydia to Thanksgiving Point to do a Canopy Tour. She has been wanting to do the ropes course there for a long time and we went and had so much fun. My favorite part was racing her in a part that goes side by side to the top of the course. We also went to the carousel and there was another activity to find a bunch of things that Lydia had fun with.  

Shantel took Caleb to the arcade. He got stuck a little bit on one of the games where you try to win a Nintendo switch (but never do) and was a little dissapointed. Until he finally (at Shantel's urging) tried Skee Ball. He loved it and thought it was so much fun, plus was happy to win a bunch of tickets. 

Q2 Dates

Shantel and I have had such great dates the last few months. 

We went on a hike in Draper to Potato Hill. 

We went to STK (fancy Steakhouse) for a retirement party for Ted Hill and a new Partner celebration for me. 

We had a quick trip to IKEA to do some shopping. Shantel really wants some new bookshelves in the homeschool room. We found a really great option (look for an update in August) and as always, we found a bunch of other little things that just had to come home with us. 

We went to dinner with Jenna and Kevin to Slackwater Pizza. It has been on our list to try for a while and we had a great time going with them. 

We had a date weekend and got to go to Logan. We did a hike on our favorite trail (Crimson Trail) and had so much fun. It was a beautiful hike and was so much fun. 

We stopped by Utah State after that and went to the bookstore and just enjoyed walking around the quad and made a stop on the "A." We asked someone to take a picture of us and when we told them we graduated 15 years ago - they said they thought we were students and we were pumped - we can still pass as students!

Next stop was Ruby's Pizzeria and Grill. We tried the restaurant last year and have wanted to go back since, it was so delicious. It was just as good this time and we love it. 

The next day was great as well. We had some time at home to work on projects. We went to the park and read books.

Then we went to see The Hello Girls at Hale Center Theater. We'll have more on this in our HCT post - but needless to say, we LOVED it. We haven't loved any of the shows in the last year or so, but this one was incredible. It was so delightful and we were telling everyone after that they need to go see it.
