Holly Richardson: This summer I learned I need to plan for spontaneous fun

Three months ago, when summer was just beginning, I wrote a column on being deliberate about seeing some of the many attractions Utah has to offer. As every summer is wont to do, this one sped by. My kids (and I) have been back in school for two weeks and there’s some color on the mountains.

Our family worked deliberately to have a #summerofadventure. Until we hit mid-August, I was able to have some kind of “abventure” (as the 3-year-old called it) every day. Although let’s be honest, not every day was a fun adventure. One day’s adventure was cleaning up vomit out of car seat straps and another’s was cleaning out the deep freeze that had stopped freezing.
