Summer Fun!

I have way too many pictures to try to do posts for every little thing so I thought I would post one big one with pics throughout the summer and once I am caught up, then I'll start posting more often.

Sometimes when we are bored and need something to do, we go to the mall so Chase can ride the train and the carousel and so we can get our pictures taken in the little photo booth. He really loves riding the train and waving at all the people we pass along the way.

At the beginning of the summer we went to the zoo and took our nephew Cole with us. Chase loves his cousin Cole so he was really happy he came with us.

Doesn't look like Cole is impressed with the carousel!

We checked out the Sno Cone place that wasn't far from our house a couple times this summer as well. They have the really fine ice which is crucial in a sno cone. 

Don't you just love that face in the middle??!!??

Chase had a couple sleepovers at his Nana's house also this summer. He loves going over there and he loves it even more when Cole is there. I think Chase get's on Cole's nerves a little because he asks a lot of questions but Chase sure loves Cole.

Gwen found this plastic table at a garage sale for $5 and Chase loves it! I bet you can't guess what we are going to be getting him for his play room for Christmas!

We had a family reunion this year at Lave Hot Springs ans had so much fun. I am really sad that I can't find one picture to show for that trip. Let this be a lesson to me!

We went to the splash pad with one of my friends and her little boy this summer as well. Her son Collin is only 4 months older than Chase so we are hoping they will become friends one day. Right now they just kid of do their own thing when they are together. But they both had a really good time at the splash pad. (Even though it you can't tell by this picture)

Sadly, these are the only pictures I got of major events that we did this summer. The rest of my pics are just of Chase being cute! I'll post some of those later.

Seattle with the Hubs

Chris and I took a little vaca to Seattle in May because we had a long weekend and were able to talk my mom into coming to watch Chase for us. It was the first time that we left Chase for longer than one night. We had a lot of fun!

We had to take advantage of not having kids with us and go to the temple, so we went one morning first thing before we did anything else. It's a really pretty temple.

When we went to the space needle they were having some sort of folk festival so there were SO many people around. I've never been up the space needled before but because there were so many people there the line was out of control and we didn't want to wait. So I'll have to do that another time.

I had to get this picture of a random sheep dog for Lacie and then found out it's not really a sheep dog after all!

We ordered room service one morning because we lazy and just taking it easy. It was NOT worth the money we paid for it at all, We would have been much better off with McD's!

Going across one of the bridges in Seattle, it really is such a pretty place. I am a sucker for trees and they have so many beautiful ones.

We also took the fairy out to Bainbridge Island one day. It was really rainy the day we went out there but it didn't stop us. We just wore our jackets and got wet. The only downfall we had was that my cheap boots I bought got a hole in the bottom so my socks were soaking wet by the end of the day. I guess I'll just have to buy more expensive boots from now on....Sorry Chris!

I can't remember the name of this waterfall that we went up to but it was so awesome. It was the same day we did Bainbridge, so it was rainy but so worth it. It was absolutely beautiful! 

When you are standing on the landing we were when this picture was taken you almost needed an umbrella just from the waterfall, it was really cool.
