 We drove to Orem today, & enjoyed playing on the Williams' new swingset! Sadie & Colton were there, while Kris was house-hunting in SF, & the Heflins arrived shortly after we did.

 We went to Rachel Blauer's baptism this morning, then Gavin had his LAST baseball game of the season. Attended Summer's birthday party in the afternoon, then Gavin earned a cool $5 by helping me mow the lawn--not an easy task. He did great! He might regret that I know that now.

 After all the playing we did this week, we got some serious work done today. Washed cars, swept & mopped the garage so we could put down our new indoor/outdoor carpet & shoe benches (in hopes of keeping all the shoes out of the laundry room), weeded the garden, etc. We then rewarded ourselves with another movie night at Settlers Park (The Jungle Book). We brought pillows & more blankets this time. It gets chilly after dark! Amazingly, all three kids stayed awake for the whole movie!

 Love living across from this little playground... & they recently installed the bench!

 Our three big lily plants by the front door are just starting to bloom... they were in bloom when we moved in on July 1, 2012--so it's about that time!

 Speaking of flowers, Ellie always stops to smell them if we pass by any. We walked through The Village today & played at their playground while waiting for our turn to bowl. We signed up for free summer bowling through www.kidsbowlfree.com

A perfect, unseasonably cool day to visit the zoo
