What a wonderful summer break! We headed out July 1st and I didn't get back with the kids until the 19th. Tim had to come back earlier for work, which was sad, but essential. We were able to see so many beautiful parts of our nation and spend time with family and friends. Lee did get a little tired of going places near the end of the trip: I had finally gotten everyone in the car, ready to go to Thanksgiving Point in Lehi, Utah and Lee defiantly said, "Mom, I don't want to go to another place." So we spent the day at his cousins playing with their toy cars. The highlight of his trip, though, was riding Frontrunner up to Temple Square. We had to run to catch the train, but we made it and he still talks about the temple with the train. Natalie on the other hand just loved being doted on by all her cousins. Everyone loved her and she loved the attention. She also learned that she wants to do things like everyone else as well. Since the trip she has implemented a new level of independence. Cute as a button, determined as a lion. For me, I'm so happy that my training for my half marathon is finally over. I finished it in a little less than 2:15:00. Not my fastest time, but it was midnight and in a different state than my training. I am pretty happy with my time. The best part of the race was catching up with my good friend, Megan Dahlgren. Shout out to good friends. Time apart disappears when we get together.
Needless to say, all these fun activities led to no bread in July. Except, Tim did bake us some bread for when we got home. It was a new bread. Olive oil/Rosemary Sourdough. Wow! It was good. It will definitely be on the order form for August. I like sourdough, but add some olive oil and rosemary. That is a winner. We had no problem eating all 4 loaves in one week.
