AUGUST 2012

We had such a busy and full month! Here are some of our crazy happenings:

We went to the fair on August 3rd and had such a fun time. There were so many different things to see. People had made large pictures/murals out of beans, corn, rock candy, etc. There were several different animal, vegetable, sewing, knitting, crocheting,  etc, there were even cake entries. There were several different food vendors offering fantastic flavors and faire, we decided to have some dutch oven food for dinner- bbq chicken, green beans, potatoes and some peach cobbler to top it all off. Scott even got some Zeppis frozen ice, some of his favorite! Then we tried to go to the rodeo- it was such a great show, but we got rained out. We tried hiding under a blanket for a good half hour, but in the end we had to give up the good fight and rush to the car. We had Grayson bundled up real well, so he was dry, but the rest of us were completely soaked! Overall such a fun day,  so glad we can have fun times such as these!

This year at Cherry Hill we decided to host our very own summer olympics, hot off the heals of the London 2012 Summer Olympics- we had all kinds of events including sychronized swimming, 4-man blindfolded relay, rhythmic floor gymnastics and more! Everyone brought their A-game and we all had a blast whether it be participating, or watching those competing. We alsoo had a very fun Family Feud competition put together by Jason and Ashli- this years winners were the Grandparents, Coreys and Wilcocks. Everyone had a good time and we all cannot wait for next years fun!

In August
we spent a week with
Gigi and Papa in
California! One day we went to the San Diego Zoo and had so much fun seeing all of the different animals. Some of our favorite highlights included seeing the elephants, the hippo, the gorillas and the acrobatics show put on by some very talented performers. Grayson was such a happy boy and everyone was sure to comment on what a cutie he was- we had such a good day!

...don't know when I'll be back again... Gigi and Papa were so sad to say goodbye to Grayson as he boarded his first plane ride ever.  Grayson did O.K. on the flight, he was a bit upset but Mom and Dad did their best to keep him happy and boy were they pooped after the one and a half hour flight, but it sure beat a car ride! We flew Jet Blue, our favorite airline, and there were several other babies on board so Grayson was not the only one bothering the other passengers, so that made us feel better. It was a bit stormy in Salt Lake when we landed, but Great Grandpa Wilcock met us at the airport to take us home, and overall the entire flight was smooth and pleasant.
