And Now to the Good Parts . . .

Taking the long way home from church near Bonneville Glen


Ideal weather + ideal neighborhood = spending every possible second outside. And we have been doing just that (even while Olivia has been sick), especially since I am on a break from my job at Tanner Dance for a couple of weeks. The best parts of each day are the hours from late afternoon to twilight, spending time in our front yard doing whatever comes to mind with some help from recently-rediscovered items from storage and boxes from recycling. I admit, not having much of a back yard kind of puts us on display, since we live in such a pedestrian area. However, I have actually gotten to know quite a few people simply by being exposed in the front instead of hidden in the back. Definitely a change, but I am embracing it wholeheartedly. We are also greatly enjoying being less than a block from Emigration Market and Jolley's, and a block from Laird Park. What an exceptional place to live! Even though my best camera was being repaired over the last couple of weeks, I still managed to get some good pictures with my mom's camera.

Stylish storage items - who knew how many hours of entertainment they could provide?

Olivia found some recycled boxes at "Eggs in the City" and soon all of the kids had these nifty containers on the front of their bikes. I have to hand it to Olivia for being so creative and resourceful, as usual.
