Ogden Temple Open House

Jake was so excited to go inside the temple for the Ogden Temple Open House, and Summer said "Wow!" around every corner. It is definitely "wow" worthy -- just so beautiful and peaceful. We can't wait to go back! (And if you haven't been, there's still time -- the open house goes through September 6th. It's best to have tickets, but you can also just show up and go standby.)

That would be a photo of ALL FOUR OF US SMILING AT ONE TIME. This is monumental. Of course we all have squinty eyes from staring at the sun, but you know.

Date night on the boat

We kicked off August with a Davis family date night on the boat. Best. Idea. Ever. It was so much fun playing with Matt's siblings on the water. Matt practiced back flips, I played on the wakeboard, the siblings showed off on the kneeboard, and then we all braved the tube -- and I flew higher than anyone had ever seen anyone fly (sadly, my pain was not validated by a photograph, ha). We stayed on the water until the sun went down and the moon came up, and then a little extra just for good measure. It's a whole new world boating without any littles in tow! Such a great, carefree day.

Bees Game

It's not summer until you've been to a baseball game. I love a good MiLB game -- especially when I get to cheer on the Bees! One of my best summers ever was spent working in that ballpark (as a public relations intern) and being there Saturday night brought back so many happy memories. We scored some awesome seats right behind home plate, which really helped Jake and Summer enjoy the game. Jake cheered his little heart out and kept saying, "I like baseball!" Meanwhile, Summer made lots of friends and clapped along and danced during every intro song. The kids were great and the game was great and the fireworks afterward were great. It was a perfect night at the ballpark.
