one word wednesday: summer

SUMMER

summer summer summertime

to sing a little will smith

yesterday was our last full day of our kick-off summer vacation here in the beautiful Salt Lake Valley

if you have never had the privilege of visiting this incredibly lovely state of Utah

i would highly recommend it

each time i come, the grandeur of those Rocky Mountains penetrate my soul and i am in awe again and again

i can't turn away

here in the valley no matter which way you turn you are surrounded

which i guess ... is the definition of a valley

felicity is my little fish

she is fearless in the water

which is a first in this family

when all my boys were this age the biggest accomplishment was to get them to have water poured on their head without screaming

we have had some seriously patient swim instructors over the years

see Owen's four year old self here in swim lessons

we are sad for our vacation to come to a close

all the kids have voiced their declaration this morning that they will not be leaving grammy's house

the tears are most definitely coming soon
it may be the longest flight of our lives

how have you kick-started your summer?
can't wait to see your photos today for one word wednesday

being on the go with some bare essentials of blogging

i'm unable to feature some of my reader's favorites

i will be sure to showcase both weeks next one word wednesday
