Our new home has already had many visitors but this particular family seems to have found a special liking to our backyard. (This picture was taken in another yard but the deer are the same.)
Last Friday, my new neighbor told me of a truck show happening in Cuyahoga Falls. Morgan and I had had a rough morning so I decided we needed to get out of the house once Pepper got up from her first nap. I did not think it was going to be a big thing and was totally not prepared. We ended up having to park blocks away (luckily Gramma had insisted we keep an umbrella stroller in the van) and it was a super hot sunny day. Good thing I had worn jeans and had no sunscreen!
In the parking lot of the Quirk Cultural Center they had tons of tractors, trucks, police cars and army vehicles. The kids were allowed to go inside, steer them, honk the horns and play with them. Some of the lines were a bit long but Morgan had a great time and it was good to get out for awhile. Even if it was sweaty.
Poor Pepper was stuck in the stroller the whole time because I was afraid of losing her in the crowd. She did well as long as I was feeding her, as usual.
Morgan insisted we wait in the long line for the Spiderman bouncy castle instead of the short line for the generic one. I already have a brand conscience kid!
The kid got some serious air.
After the trucks, we cooled off in shade with some pizza and snow cones.
We all had a messy good time.
The first time we saw the racoon Morgan wanted to say hi but when the time came he froze. He does that a lot. But he insisted we chase him down and was not shy the second time. Pepper on the other hand was not so sure about this big stuffed animal. As we were leaving Morgan stated, "I didn't miss my chance!"
That night the Utah Valley Children's Choir came to our Tallmadge Stake Center to perform for our stake. After the concert we were asked to host some of the children. We volunteered to take some since we have lots of floor space now (no furniture will do that for you.) We got five teenage girls. We took them home Friday night and had to get them back by 7:30 the next morning.
I'm sure all the host families felt the same but we had a great group of girls and were sad they could not stay longer.
On Saturday Morgan and I attended his friend, Julia's, 4th birthday party. They have an awesome backyard for the kids to play in. It was a beautiful day.
Julia's favorite color is blue so her bathing suit and cupcakes were made sure to match.
Julia's awesome little brother Luke.
Yay for Julia!
After the party we had lunch and hung around the house while Pepper took her afternoon nap.
Cody and Morgan helped me make some brownies.
"Helped" may be stretching it.

"Helped" may be stretching it.We had a lovely dinner on Saturday at our neighbor's house who have two little boys. Morgan is obsessed with them and begs to go to "Abe's house" every day. The summer seems to be flying by and I can't believe it is almost August. I promise there are more pictures of the house to come as soon as we get some more organizing done.

How cool with the deer! The best we get are racoons and big hawks. That truck thing looked awesome. I hate lines though and standing in them in the heat is no fun. More power to you! I'm looking forward to more pictures of the house!
