Outings

Since Leah is getting bigger and as we are coming to the end of summer we've been enjoying more family outings. Leah has done great as we have taken her all over.

We of course have been to a few baseball games. Leah is so good to just sit on our laps and usually ends up falling asleep through most of the game. At the Orem Owls game last Saturday they had fireworks after the game. We were a little worried about how she would do with them. But she just ended up sleeping through her first fireworks show. Figures. I'm just glad she didn't start crying and throwing a fit during them.

Here she is at her first baseball game...

Here's a picture from the SL Bees game we went to. She's blowing bubbles - one of her favorite past times these days. A couple weeks ago we went to the Salt Lake County Fair. We saw the horse pulling matches - a first for Ross and Leah. My grandpa Putnam LOVES horses so I grew up going to them with my family and grandparents. At the fair we also saw pig races and a bike stunt show.

I don't have any pictures from it, but the last couple of Friday evenings we have taken our lap top to the park to watch movies. So far we have seen "Star Wars" and "The Empire Strikes Back." This has been a lot of fun for Ross and me. And Leah does really well just chillin' or sleeping on my lap.

We also took her to see "How to Train Your Dragon" at the dollar theater. She slept through the whole movie! It was a good thing we got her in for free.

Last week Ross had to start reporting back to work. So on his last day off we went on a family outing up into the mountains. We went to a beautiful little oasis called Cascade Springs where the water comes out of the mountain and cascades down though the trees and flowers. It is so pretty and hiking around on the trails was so easy.

Here is Ross and Leah in front of one of the little cascading waterfalls. She loves to be carried around in her Snugli.

Not surprising, Leah slept through most of the hike.

It was so pretty here!

After the hike we drove into Heber and enjoyed some great Mexican food and a yummy shake from Granny's! It was a great last day off for Ross. Leah and I enjoyed it too.
