Summer's dream came true!
She got to be a STAR for a week at the community Princess Festival!
She loved it! She did amazing! 

Joshua and Kate her biggest fans.

Summer and her group put on a skit multiple times a day.
It was a great experience for her and she made a lot of new friends!!!

Taylor's 15th Birthday at the YC's Mongolian Grill.
Celebrating before we head off for another family summer trip.

The man requested rhubarb pie for his birthday treat.
Definitely a Cardon trait.

We decided to take a quick trip to Utah for a week.
We were so sad Andy couldn't make it with us- WORK.
But I was so grateful Summer can drive.
Her first road trip at the wheel.  She did awesome!
We had so much fun spending time with cousins, Gma and Gpa Maxfield, and of course the Mnts.
The weather was absolutely gorgeous.  Lots of hikes and walks.
We met up with old friends from the University of Utah days.
It went by so fast, but we had a whirlwind of fun!!!
I love spending time with my kids!!!

Aunt Maureen's was our first stop.

Kate got to celebrate her birthday in Provo at Brick Oven, a water park, and a BBQ with the McDonald's and Gma and Gpa Maxfield.
