I realize that it is already October and I am just getting around to posting our summer adventures but better late than never? We had a fun time with trips to both sets of grandparents, trips to the beach, the park and Gilroy Gardens.

"Chillin like a cool dude in my car seat with my bottle. Girls dig me!"
"Thank you Aunt Mel and Uncle Doug for a home for Sparky."
Colin loves to be a little helper and bring Dad his Diet Pepsi.
Apparantley Colin thought dad needed the entire box of Diet Pepsi.

Colin loves the Tolman's dog, Bowser. We stayed with them for several days and would wake up from every nap and every morning chanting "dog, dog, dog!"
We took a fun run in Provo canyon. I forgot how beautiful it is!
We were able to meet up with the Murdock siblings and Colin got to spend time getting to know his cousin, Autumn. They are only nine days apart in age!
