June 30- July 6: we were in Utah. One of my BFFs lives in SLC and had her wedding at the Sundance Resort. Gorgeous. The whole thing! And as a double bonus Amy and Baldy (aka Steve) flew out with us AND I got to reunite with 10+ sorority sisters that I haven't seen since my college days. DG forever, yo!
On the 4th itself we attended a reunion with Chris's family at a local park. But before those festivities began most of us logged a few miles racing in the Freedom Run in Provo. Max ran his first mile race and did so in 12 minutes. Not too shabby for a 6 year old. I will toot my own horn an announce that I ran a personal best at a pace of 7:08 per minute and placed second in the 35-39 age group and was the 14th fastest female over all (there were over 2200!). Got a trophy and everything! Toot toot!
We watched the parade in Provo, went to a carnival (where Max got that snazzy tattoo you can see on his arm) and then hit the park for fun dressed in red, white and blue! PS- Max also saw Brad Paisley in concert while Chris and I were at the wedding. How cool is Max?
The last day of vacay we went hiking WAAAAAAAAY up the mountain to the "Y" near the campus of BYU. I did it years ago with Tara and didn't remember anything about it; I just thought it would be a fun thing for Max. I seriously can't believe he made it! But he did! It was steep. What a relief to be at the top and what beautiful views we had...
Once home Max finished out the swim team season. He is an awesome swimmer, I don't even have to lie. He ended up swimming the championship meet in just 12 seconds! That's a 10 second improvement over the start of the year! Dude is fast! That makes him the fastest 6U boys swimmer at SCCC and guess what else it makes him? Good enough to swim for the Coffman YMCA winter swim team which is hard core! GO MAX! He got a trophy during the swim banquet as well as certificate because the coach named him 'Most Improved'. He was quite proud!
A few weeks left to live it up till 1st grade starts... cry cry! Keep on enjoying summer!!! Oh, and guess I wasn't as short on words as I thought... oops!

'Bout dang time! JK. I know you lead a busy life. ;)
Let's see...a few things I noticed. Cute dress from your 4th pics. I can't believe Max was hydrating with what looks to be a Dr. Pepper(?) and not water on your little hike. Way to go on the swimming! And...I think that was it. Oh and congrats again on your 5k time, I'm totally jealous.
