The Young and the Restless

California and cousins

At the beginning of the summer we looked at the calendar and realized we only had one free weekend the entire summer. It's sometimes hard having such a short summer, but man did we jam pack it with fun! And I'm also feeling so grateful for family who have been willing to make it an extra special summer for my kids too. Aunt Andrea was so nice and drove from Utah to Vegas to pick up Ian and Meg, then drove to Arizona for a quick weekend at the lake then drove these cute cousins to California to spend a day at Six Flags then back to AZ, NV and UT. What a whirlwind trip filled with so many fun memories for these cousins. 

We even convinced Trenton to let me cut his hair, I wish we would have gotten a before picture, but he looked fresh!

After many failed attempts (and a little peer pressure after being shown up by his younger cousin) Jayden finally got up on the wake surfer and was thrilled. That smile says it all.
