Slumbertopia #6

This year Slumbertopia included a few new and exciting things!  

One of the only things in North Salt Lake is a chocolate factory, so it was high time we toured this facility (and ate all their samples, which didn't disappoint). The only downside was Kimball clenched the samples in his tiny fists until they started to melt all over.

Another downside was Mrs. Cavanaugh didn't pick any of us to run the factory in her place...

Next we spent a lot of time feeding Kimball's appetite for climbing stairs. 

Then we ate a lot of delicious foods and played Ticket to Ride and watched Get Smart.

In the morning, we opened our eyes and immediately ate more food, followed by the best episode of Even Stevens ever, Stevens Manor.  Thank the universe for Youtube.

We may have to have a semi-annual Slumbertopia this year because we missed our brothers this time.  Until next time, Slumbertopians!

Summer

I never thought my boss would have to call me to discuss strategies of how I can actually use up my million hours of accumulated PTO this year.  Haha.  That is a first world problem, if I ever heard of one.  Unfortunately for Scott and his financial-goals-ways, this means I now need to plan an awesome vacation, or two, ... or twelve. ;)

In other summer news, we visited the big city over the weekend to go to a concert.  The concert was weirdly interrupted by what looked like a traveling circus but was actually the gay pride parade.  (I'm not even trying to offend, there were literal hoops of fire and jugglers.  It was a valid conclusion.)

Back at the ranch, Scott and I learned we are quite skilled at growing spinach.  Last year was the year of the yellow squash and this year is the year of eating leaves.

This year is also the year of the watermelon frosty. This is summer in a glass right here, and we're already on our second watermelon.

It seems like some years with a normal work schedule I don't even realize summer is here (I still had my space heater on last week...) but this year we are living it up with lots of hiking and barbecuing and eating summer treats and trampolining.  Summer has never been so awesome.

Hahaha.  Everyone needs a photo like this right?
