Zoo day! My work summer party was an afternoon at the Hogle Zoo & a lunch buffet afterwards (important and much-anticipated by me & Baby Gray). It was our first time at the zoo and we loved it! Highlights were the Pallas' cat (didn't even know they existed and they are beyond adorable!), giraffes (my fave animal!), lion cubs, and lunch, obvi.
It was finally a much cooler day among what had been like, over a week of 100-degree days, and we were so thankful! This was a good afternoon. Fun people, fascinating animals, handsome husband.
Just being spoiled by our friends! Our little man is so lucky! Looking at this little pile of cuteness just made me giddy.
Our little boy continued to grow. August was week 24 through 27!
K. I grew up going to the Puyallup Fair (Do thuhhh Puyallup! I'll never forget the jingle), so a deep love of fairs has been instilled in me from a young age! This year it was in my top-three on the summer bucket list, so when the Utah County Fair rolled around, we were so there.
Buuuttt it was a total bust. Like really, it was SO lame. Kind of just a monster truck rally with a few rides and booths set up around the stadium. So even though we had a good time people-watching, this item did NOT get checked off the bucket list until later in the month.
Because the State Fair came to the rescue!
Ferris wheel: check.
Animals: check.
Elephant ears: never found them and I might still be a little upset about it.
Giant slide: check.
It was perfect! Yay for the fair! It just means summer to me. Thanks to this boy for indulging me. 😇
This picture isn't that awesome, but as much as I complained about my 40-minute commute to work (the things we do for dream jobs, right), I loved that the sun came up so early in the summers. The rays of sunshine coming through the canyons were so lovely and started my day off right! These mountains will always be special to me.
Another picture that's probably boring to most people BUT contains a lots of memories for me. I got to troubleshoot and then literally take apart the entire TOC instrument because the condensing coil was corroding at the end (check out all that crap built up). Me. Disemboweling an instrument that costs more than three times my car. It almost made me sick with nerves. But I DID IT. Chalk that up to one of my proudest moments when my QCs passed afterwards!! Prayers are answered, people!
Filtering DOC.
Like I said, special mountains! My mountains.
We went and saw an old roommate of Ryan & Andrew's perform in Sandy City's production of Westside Story. I cried at the end. ❤
August was good to us!
