We really didn't do a formal summer vacation, because our whole summer felt like a vacation. We were without a house for a month and half, from June 6-July 14 we were "homeless". Most of our summer was spent in a hotel or in Utah with family. We were able to spend lots of time with family, which helped make up for living so far away from them for awhile.
My brother and his family came to Utah for a visit. It was a mini Overton reunion, with all of us kids in the same state at the same time.
We took the kids up to Provo canyon and to Bridal veil falls for a picnic with my Brother.
The highlight seems to have been feeding the huge fish.
I can't believe how close Anya is to passing me up...
We were going to hike up to the lower falls, but we had a hard time finding the trail head...it had been moved due to mud slides from when I was a kid. By the time we found it, it was time to go. So we just walked around in the water.
Quinn giving Hannah a hard time...
Quinn went to the University of Utah and we are BYU fans, so it opens up a lot of fun dialogue.
Our only cousin on the Overton side.
I can't believe how big my little nephew is getting.
The girls loved to hold and spoil him.
Right before Quinn left we got to go to the zoo all together.
Grandma got to come.
And Aunt Trudy got to come as well.
It was a fun day at the zoo.
Because of our moving schedule, the girls got to go to Girls Camp with their cousins.
They had a great time, and are begging to go with them again next year.
They were all braided and set to go.
Bye girls, be your best.
They had a wonderful expereince. I am grateful to girls who are willing to take in new girls and treat them as friends. It makes the experience so much better.

The best part about summer is the watermelon!
It was a fun, but busy summer with our move, and 3 separate trips to Utah, unpacking a new house and getting to know a new area. We are grateful for the time we got to spend together as a family!
