I have been trying to figure out how my summer could possibly be almost half over without a decent pedicure & tan to show for it.  I blame the World Cup.  Seriously, it sucked me and Dani right in practically every morning.  There might be some hope for us now that Spain has ended our suspense. 

In the meantime, Michael has chosen to spend his summer in a surprising way.  He is working on a farm.  He has become an novice radish & pea picker.  We are all hoping (Michael included) that he’ll figure out how to pick faster so he can up his pay a little closer to minimum wage.  Six hours of picking, thirteen dollars richer and a whole lot tanner.  Well, in a farmer sort of way.

Michael rounds out each day with a little ballroom practice/lesson.  He and Hannah are looking sharp! at their Cha cha showcase.

Danielle headed out for some fun of her own.  First stop this summer was one of her faves – the Zoo.  She snapped just under 100 pics of practically every animal in the place.  She just loves the animals.

Then it was off to EFY and a week of independence and a shocking revelation.  Danielle discovered, to her utter amazement, that dances are FUN! 

Our June finished out in the best way possible – a visit from family.  My sister Dawnmarie & her family made a detour on their way home to Pennslyvania to spend a couple of days checking out Salt Lake and our Fashion Polly collection.  What fun!  We toured a candy factory, experienced the high life at Steph’s hotel, ran through the Olympic fountains, roamed popular tourist spots & colleges and swam until everyone was good and ready for bed. 

Here’s to hoping July slows down so we can fit a lot more summer fun in!
