I love summer. I'm in love with the sun. I haven't been happier all year. Well maybe the time that Cory and I went snowboarding or maybe some funny moments, but I love warm summer nights, watching fireworks, sweating, looking for shade, swimming, hiking and just being outside. Isaak loves it too. We have been having a lot of fun. He's been quite tuckered out. One of my favorite days was when we decided to hike Ensign Peak. My brother was supposed to come, but has terrible allergies and could barley open his eyes to come. Poor Guy! So Isaak and I embarked on our trip solo. Don't worry there are tons of people that hike Ensign Peak daily. It was safe. It was also the perfect day to do it. The sun was shining, but it wasn't a lick over 75degrees and since there is no shade that makes it perfect.
Isaak saying, "Cheese!" He loved climbing up the stairs and didn't want any help from me in any way. He made it about 3/4's the way up running and climbing. I could barely keep up.
Isaak deemed this rock our snack rock. He was patting the spot next to him announcing that we were supposed to have a snack. We munched on some goldfish while we watched a few people pass us up. Ps--notice how green it is? There were wildflowers everywhere!
The Summit!!! As soon as we got to the top Isaak put his hands on both of my cheeks and made me look at him as he declared, "Mommy! We made it! We MADE it! We did it."
How can you go downtown without stopping for frites and gaufres--belgian code for fries and waffles. Isaak loves the waffles. He tried to eat mine after he was done with his, but he didn't win this time--they are way too good!!! They have a brand new fry sauce with chinese five spice and it was pretty tasty, but way different than my traditional andalouse. If that's foreign language to you then you should go get some frites and gaufres so you can taste the utter deliciousness!!!
This was one of those days when all the stars seem to align and everything works out perfectly. Isaak was an angel in the car and even fell asleep on the way home. He was tired enough to continue his nap for three more hours once we got home. He listened well and followed directions. He didn't have a single temper tantrum and he was in the happiest, quirkiest mood. It made me remember why I love being a Mom so much and seeing Isaak trying new things and surprising me with his tenacity. Oh, I love summer.
