Summertime!

                I decided to just do one post about our adventures this summer. We have not done a whole lot but we did take a vacation to the west at the end of June beginning of July. It was a short trip lasting only 12 days including driving days. We spent 82 hours of that driving but we did enjoy the short time we had with both of our families. To begin our trip we spent time in Utah visiting Michael's family. His parents were in Utah as well so it was fun to be able to see all his family. On June 28th we blessed Allie in Idaho Falls at Jennifer's house. It was fun to be able to have some family there to share the special occasion with us. The Wednesday following the blessing we headed up to Heidi's house and began the Purcell 2015 reunion. We spent part of the reunion at Fairmont Hot Springs in Montana. It was a blast. There was swimming, mini golfing, frisbee golf, and so much more for us to do at the resort. We spent a lot of time at the pool which John loved. It was his first time going swimming in a pool and he loved it. He was even willing to jump in and go under for a split second. There was also a big hydrotube slide there and John and I went down a couple times together which he loved. He laughed the whole way down and was surprisingly not scared at all! We loved spending time with my family since it had been a long time since we had seen everyone. Unfortunately Nate's family was not able to make it so we did miss seeing them. Sadly after spending the 4th of July at Heidi's we headed home the next day. We were excited to be home and out of the car but we could have used another couple weeks with family! 
Some of the other fun things we have done this summer include going to the splash
park, the Bayou Country Children's Museum, and spending quality time together. It has been a hot summer here with less rain than we got last year but we have just learned to stay inside and play in the afternoons. We are excited for fall and winter weather to come! Here is some pictures from our trip and summer.
