August is the start of many new beginnings

The first couple weeks of August flew by, and then it was time for school. What a crazy month this has been!

 Graham and Camden enjoy a last blast of summer at Cowabunga Bay!

 Graham did football tryouts in August, and got a fun surprise this day. The Sandy City Firefighters came and cooled them off with water from their trucks.

 What a fun idea!

 The boys. Graham found out that he was on the A team, again. Well done Graham. Way to work hard for your team.

 First weekend in August - the Bair Gutsman. Here are the girls doing registration.

 Chad talks to the racers and gets them ready to start.

 The race is started.

 Waiting in line at Shake Shack on the day it opened. We love Shake Shack, maybe because it reminds us of London, Paris, Washington DC, and Chicago. Fun places we have been together at Shake Shack.

 Add to that list, Sandy, UT!!

 Kate's friends take her to the mall in a wheel chair so that she can be out with them.

 The balloon festival came to our back yard!

 We got to help put the balloon away, after it landed on our street.
