Su-Su-Su-Summertime

It's been my favorite summer;

full of family,

full of friends,
and full of musicals.

( ...plus there was a little Texas in there too.)

  

Although, it has also definitely been 

the summer of me admitting how gorgeous Utah really is.

And it really was the summer of musicals;

Cinderella...

Les Miserables...

(they were both at the outdoor theater in Orem)

And Fiddler on the Roof at Sundance 

with my most favorite aunt Angie

(and sweet Grandpa Merlin too!)...

for which I clearly felt I had to dress up as Yenta the match maker.

And it was seriously so great, I saw this one twice.

Hey, and just in case no one has told you--

Utah is the best place to experience the 4th of July.

Especially if your friends can cook

your 4th of July food on a grill.

Plus, any holiday is enhanced by spending it with sweet kids.

My cousins' kids are the cuuuutest.

Also, speaking of cute sweet kids,

my students are actually, literally the best students in the world.

And they drew/brought me treats all summer long.

And then I got to "fill the canteen"

with tons of family time.

A little in Utah....

(my ridiculously good-looking, duface brother)

A little in TEXAS...

(When Sister Robinson came home!!!)

(We were a little cramped for space to take naps when we were all at home...)

And then a some more in Utah again...

Aaaand, Logan brought us each our own hat 

from his accounting adventure at Disney World.

I mean, really,

just so good.
