Summer Wrap Up

In the course of the summer, there were a few highlights that probably should have merited an entire blog post, but didn't because I never sat down and turned them into one. But here were some of the ways in which I spent my summer vacation:

...my first-ever trip to the Stadium of Fire to see, among other things, Brad Paisley, David Archuleta, and the guy from the BYU Library/Old Spice Commercial...

...visiting the Salt Lake Japanese American Citizens' League's obon festival...

 ...eating sushi and gyoza unlike anything we get in a restaurant...

 ...going back to watch the taiko drummers...

.

...and the dancers...

...visiting Shane's family in California and watching Lisee eat rice and noodles in Little Tokyo...

 ...taking Kevin and Sammie shopping in Park City...

...and watching them ride the merry-go-round...

 ...seeing outdoor movies and plays with the girls...



...growing a garden...

 ....periodically forgetting to pick the vegetables for long periods of time...

...and basking in the beauty of one lone sunflower.

All in all, not a bad summer.
