Well I have a lot of catching up to do because we've done so many wonderful things so far this summer! Most exciting of them all, I must say, is moving to Chicago. But I'll get there in a couple posts.
Our last 2 months in Provo were splendid! We did some things that we've been wanting to do in Utah for a long time. We took a trip down to Arches National Park and went camping with our good friends The Rowes. It was Jackson's first time camping, and we stuck his pack-n-play in the tent and slept next to him. When he woke in the morning he was giggling so hard because he couldn't believe that we were sleeping right next to him in sleeping bags! It was adorable.
We also spent time with friends in Provo Canyon roasting marshmallows, went to the Hogle Zoo (Jackson adored the monkeys), and had a picnic at 'This is The Place' onument, overlooking Salt Lake City.
On my birthday, we hiked up to our special tree we planted behind the Draper Temple. Jackson hiked all by himself (it took us forever), but he loved the hike, and our little tree has grown so much! It will probably be several years before we see it again.
We enjoyed several trips to the splash pad as Jackson became more brave with cold water. We also visited our good friends, The Wixoms, who Jackson was named after. Then shortly after, we sold most of our furniture, and packed up our things, off to visit The Gannaways and The Risleys before we headed to Chicago.
