Summer Fun!

Darrin and I had the opportunity to go to Utah for almost 2 months. We enjoyed being able to spend time with family and friends. While we were there we enjoyed:
  • Farmington Festival Days
  • Hikes in the beautiful mountains
  • Boating
  • Orange Leaf frozen yogurt
  • Costa Vida and Firehouse
  • Buying a Honda Pilot (which made it back to Ohio without any problems!!)
  • Bountiful Handcart Day Parade and Fireworks
  • East Canyon and more skiing!
  • A road trip to Colorado with mom and grandma for a friends wedding
  • A free repel (120 ft) down Corona Arch (Darrin did that)
  • BBQ's, lunches and dinners with friends
  • Family Reunions
  • A baby shower
  • and finally Nikki was able to see her brother return from his mission in Peru. 
We were so glad to be able to spend time back at home with our loved ones. We miss you already but we are glad to be back in Ohio and are grateful for the friends we have out here who feel like family.
Enjoy a few pictures from our summer adventures!
