August Family Outings

During the last half of August we had some pretty fun family outings.

Utah County Fair and One Man Band Diner
One day we headed down to Spanish Fork for the County Fair. Unfortunately we didn't take any pictures there. We saw lots of farm animals and almost got drenched in some torrential rain. We had our first funnel cake as a family and then left the fair.
We drove over to the One Man Band Diner for dinner.


Henry loved all the pictures. There was one picture he kept pointing to and calling Jesus. It definitely wasn't Jesus in the picture. It was some 1970s rock-n-roll singer. He looked familiar but I am not sure who it was. 

Waiting for our food. 


William got to try Apple Beer. He really liked it!

We had a fun night together!

Thanksgiving Point Gardens
On Tuesday the 23rd of August we packed a picnic dinner and drove up to the Gardens.  This was our last opportunity as a family to participate in 2 buck Tuesdays.



Checking out the fish! 





This picture makes me laugh. It seriously sums up life as a mother of 2 young boys.
I'm pretty sure they took off in opposite directions after we took the picture. 

Climbing in the gazebo.

Water!


Playing in the fountain in the Secret Garden. 

I'm sure they both would have climbed in if we'd let them! 

The Secret Garden is by far my favorite in the Thanksgiving Point Gardens. It is so beautiful and so peaceful! Someday I hope to have a garden similar to this. 

I sure love him!!!

We really enjoyed our summer! We went to fun new places and tried some new things.
The only place we usually go to in the summer that we didn't make it to was the Lindon Pool.

Looks like you all had some fun times. I like the look of the garden too.
