You guys, this time last year (the week of Vivian’s birthday) it as hot, hot, hot! But this year, it turned into Fall weather sooner than expected, which isn’t really a bad thing. Except let’s hope that the weather stays somewhat warm for her upcoming 2nd birthday party, pretty please! I love that I now have a toddler and a little kid, because this Summer has just been so much for with my little ones! And I can only imagine that every year will just be even more busy and fun! So I just wanted to document some of my favorite things about this past Summer, because I know Fall will be here all too soon. I’ve already started Halloween costume planning and that is just crazy pants to me!

Favorite Things About This Past Summer
- Living near a splash park and having that be a perfect afternoon activity for the kids to release their energy and have so much fun!
- Heading to one too many city fairs — mmm the strawberries and cream dessert from Strawberry Days was the best!
- Taking photos at Saltair. I wish I could go every day.
- Winning the Jungle Jumparoo at a blogger event! I hardly ever win giveaways!!! But seriously, it’s the best backyard toy ever and you can get $100 with code SANDYALAMODE!
- Hiking up Albion Basin to Cecret Lake, oh the beauty!!
- Meeting new little friends and having picnics!
- Discovering a whole lot of colorful walls in SLC area! Should I do a post on it, friends!?
- Getting a zoo membership and getting our money’s worth
Next summer, I am looking forward to more trips on the airplane (although we really should have done more before Vivian turns 2), swimming lessons and other activities for the kids, finding new local areas to eat and play, and more!
