I'm afraid this is getting to be a habit, but once again I'm going to do a mixed post with everything since I can't seem to keep up. Warning: This is long....
So, since we got home we've been rather busy. We love summer here and want to make the most of it! Here's what we've done since we got back from Utah:
1. Spent the day at the Beaton's neighborhood beach. (Jim Beaton was Seth's boss from AMI) We had a great time catching up with them. And then spent the next day at the Jensen's beach, one of our all time favorite places to be! Sorry no pictures :(
2. Grandpa Cook came for the weekend on a business trip. The kids love the attention they get from him when he comes.
3. Went to Great Harvest for a playgroup. The kids really enjoyed this.
4. Had a birthday party for Kaylee.
5. Had a couple girls from the BYU-Idaho Dance Alliance stay with us for two days of their tour. We got to see their performance and had a great time.
6. Then we had about a week to relax and get ready for Grandpa and Grandma Cook to come. We tried to keep them entertained, but as busy as we were, they still found time to help clean and restain our deck (a project we have been putting off for 3 years!) and give my front garden area a makeover!
7. Went to "Wicked" with Grandpa, Grandma, Karyna, Dad, and Mom. Awesome play! We loved every minute of it. I'm already trying to figure out when I can go again.
8. Spent the day at the Kensington Slash Park with the kids. We only meant to be there for a couple of hours, but we were having so much fun we stayed all day!
9. Went to the Detroit Zoo. We've been a couple times already, so this time we decided to see the things we don't normally see like the butterflies, birds, and reptiles. I still don't think we have seen everything yet. Guess we need to go back!
10. Last for this post, but certainly not last for the summer, we went to the first day of the PGA Championship. We took Tyler with us and as always, having a kid with you pays off. Sergio Garcia and Stewart Cink each gave him the ball they were playing with the hole before. We were especially excited about Sergio's ball and were really rooting for him to win. Unfortunately, not this year. But we still had a great time! It was really lacking something though not having Tiger Woods there. I was really excited to see Phil Mickelson, but he didn't even look at Tyler, so Sergio is my new favorite! He just seems like a really cool guy.

Wow, fun post and so much fun. Glad you are getting everything you can out of the summer. As busy as we have been I am so sad that this summer is just about over. *sniff* I love the summertime.
Wow, you guys are having so much fun. I asked Carl if we could come spend the summer with you next year...we'll see. Maybe we will have more of a summer ourselves not remodeling a house. Anyway, totally awesome that you got Sergio's ball. A wee bit jealous. Happy Birthday Kaylee.
Wow! You have been busy. And it all looks fun. Can't believe you went to WICKED! Awesome huh? I can't wait to go again. Love all the pictures. You're getting better at this!

HOLY COW my friend, what an amazing summer! We loved Wicked as well, I have seen it twice now and can't get enough! It is coming to Salt Lake next year, so we should go together! We sure love you guys and miss you! I hate that summer is almost over, it is so much more fun to just play! Love you guys!
Carrie- looks like the Cooks are having a fantastic summer! Totally off subject here, but I'm in love with the Twilight series and Kirstynn reminded me about your cousin is the author. We must chat. Miss you all up in Brighton!
