Summer Fun!

Summer is my favorite time of year. I love the hot weather, the warm beautiful nights, I love that it doesn't get dark till ten and the fact that there is always something going on, family barbecue's, vacations, swimming, rodeo's you know what I mean. It's such a busy time of year but I love every minuet of it. I always feel a little sad when kids start going back to school and the scheduling and rhythm of everyday life start to kick in again. Luckily this summer we were able to have a little back to back vacationing so my cup is feeling quite full right now. We went to Lake Powell for a week with Rhett's family, came home for three days and left for Jackson Hole with my family. Needless to say we have ended the summer with a bang and I am almost tired of packing and unpacking (Honestly I could probably go for one more week)! So, here are some pictures of our wonderful trips. We had a blast in Powell and Jackson, both such beautiful places with ton's of fun for the taking!

Lake Powell

Lilly and her cute cousin Alexis. They were trying to pretend to be asleep but funny Alexis couldn't stop smiling!



Lil and Alexis on the tube. They were so funny! They chanted faster faster the entire time and Lilly was in the thumbs up position the whole time, you know to get get the point across that she really did want to go faster. We couldn't get her to hold on to the tube with both hands. Fortunately after she was thrown from the tube she decided that maybe she would hold on with both hands!




Here is brave little Lilly water skiing for the first time. She did a great job and held on with all her might! The picture above this is She and Rhett. After she fell Rhett jumped in to help her. He was so proud and so was she!


Here we have Rhett showing off his water skiing skills!


And Rhett committing the ultimate crime!


And cute little Ruby happy as a lark, probably because she got to go mostly nude the entire time we were there. Who needs clothes anyway!

Jackson Hole

Once again Ruby! very cute!


Lilly and her posse guarding the stairs.


Ok, seriously the ugliest but funniest big foot I have ever seen! Honestly! take a good look at his face he is almost smiling! The funny part was that both my girls were totally freaked out. Especially Lil, she wouldn't even look at him!


My wonderful dad helping Ruby on our walk around Jenny lake.



Myself and my girls outside the Jackson lake lodge! Beautiful!


And lastly, Lilly, who had this pretty little butterfly land on her shirt!

So there it is our last hoorah! Lots of fun and lots of memories for the Zito family!

Looks like a great way to say good bye to summer. Totally jealous of both trips! And if your girls looked anymore like their gorgeous mother I would think they were clones!

Thanks for the comment! I was having an awful day and the 'see ya at target' comment just made me laugh so hard. I feel so much better! Thanks!
