What do I do on days that I'm bored? I go to my sister's house where I help her with projects and play with her kids. It's pretty much awesome.

As you can see below, we went to this fantastic park where they have water that comes out of the ground, who knew?! And there's a playground where you can swing, slide, and do other usual kid things. :) Great for a hot summer day!

The water area:

the swings:

Another time we went over to my sister's mother-in-law's place and picked peas!! While we were there we played in the tree house and on the swings.

mmmmm.....I love fresh peas!!

sweet treehouse!

it was a pretty hot day, so we naturally had to get a drink from the hose ;)

Sometimes we like to be crazy and blow bubbles....it rocks :D

Anyway, we do other things there too, but I haven't documented it all. Sorry! Haha.

back in June I went home a.k.a Lyman, Wyoming. It's not a super long drive, but it can get boring when you're all by yourself(which is the usual case with me. haha).

Here's a picture of the road, pretty exciting eh? I think a bug hit the window right at that moment...gross!!

This is me driving...that's probably exactly how I look when I sing in the car by myself. It's pretty darn attractive ;D

Here are the windmills. This is the point of the drive when you know you are really close to getting to Lyman. It's the happiest part of the whole drive. :)

One great thing happened on this particular trip to Lyman......I got to visit Chelsie and Jessica!! Oh the good times we've all shared. I just love those girls like a fat kid loves chocolate cake. :D

Safety tip: Faithfully wear your seat belt.
