Aaaaah Summertime!

Ah Summertime!

So our summer started out with me working part-time for about a month, but that didn't work out, the 4hrs they promised upon interview turned into 2hrs which I didn't feel was worth it to be away from my girls rather than spend their summer with them, so now I can! YIPEE!!

Sleeping Beauty Kiara on the trip to Salt Lake.
She's awake now and super excited to be here!!
One thing about working, it made it possible for me to save up enough money for us to have a little vacation.....the girls chose Lagoon, so we made a 4day trip out of it! Our first night we stayed in Taylorsville and the girls were so excited to get to swim and feel like they really were on vacation.
Noelani enjoying the pool and a moonlit swim!

Funny little mermaid!

The next morning, after a delicious breakfast we are off to Lagoon...It's what fun is!! :)





Waiting for Lagoon to open...we're excited!!


My Beauties!


Kuni was with us...he took the day off to go...it was a blast!! :)

While waiting for the girls to ride the Jumping Dragon, we decided to try out the camera on my new phone...and finally we figured out how!! haha

 The Ladybug Drop!


Lani and I on our way to the Terrorride!! Oooooh!

Beautiful Noelani


Lagoon day is finally over and the girls are enjoying complimentary ice-cream bars at our second hotel "The Marriott"...yes, thanks to Priceline we stayed in style! Now we need some much-needed rest to be ready for our cousin's wedding early in the morning at the Salt Lake Temple!


 Waiting outside the temple for the bride and her prince charming to come out...Kiara was supposed to be a flower girl, hence the dress. But while waiting we enjoyed taking some pictures around the temple grounds.


 
One of the fun things we did was to go check out the new City Creek Center Mall in Downtown Salt Lake...what a gorgeous mall...the girls loved it. And then we went to our favorite park Liberty Park after a nice lunch with Kuni and his son, Pio.
 
 
We all had a great time on our trip to Salt Lake...on the last day I could hardly get the girls to co-operate so that we could leave to go home. They have been so homesick lately...so on our way out of town, we headed for one of our favorite places, Daybreak for a dinner picnic on the shore of the lake. It was so nice to watch the sun go down...and it reminded us all of our old stompin' grounds. We were at Daybreak every single day for walks each morning and evening around the Lake. What a Beautiful place!!
