Our mountains are on fire here.  Lots of evacuations on the south side of the valley.  Over 75,000 acres have burned in this lightning caused fire.  Wind gusts up to 50 mph are fueling the fire and caused its explosive growth.  This is the #1 fire in the nation and lot’s of fire crews are on scene.  No structures have burned yet though.  This has been a really bad fire year and I’m looking forward to the end of fire season.

Hard to believe that we’ve basically put a wrap on summer already. Here is some bonus content not covered in some of the previous posts.

Last dirt bike ride with Kevin. We conquered a huge loop up American Fork canyon that gave us trouble last year when Kevin’s chain broke and we had to ditch his bike. We didn’t have any problems this time and we really enjoyed the beautiful overcast day and epic views of the mountains.

I just love this picture. It’s my new favorite desktop background.

Pioneer day.  Wagon treats and Fiesta Days Rodeo in Spanish Fork.

Good bye celebration for Kevin and Bethany.  We really enjoyed all the time we got to spend with them and we sure miss them.

Austin and Karina’s wedding.

This girl LOVES to dance.  Especially at weddings.  I can’t say that getting out on the dance floor is really my thing, but it’s hard to resist when you get pulled out on the floor by your daughter!

Swinging!  The girls have absolutely loved this swing this summer.  So do all of the friends that come over.  We’ve worn a pretty huge bald spot in the grass as proof.

Just loving my girls.

Swimming lessons!

Boating and cabin weekend.

Backyard violin concert and BBQ.

Kevin’s Graduation.

Packing up for an Idaho weekend.  Ashley was helping me load up the dirt bike into the truck.  There was lots of swimming, family pictures, lots of airplane and drone flying, green beans, dirt biking, and just all around fun family time.

Adam is such a great uncle.  These girls really love him!

Back to School!  And that’s a wrap to summer 2018!
