24th of July Float Preview




I took the kids to the expo center with a couple of friends from our ward. We got to see all the parade floats for the Days of 47 rodeo on the 24th of July. Since we were in Yellowstone for the 24th I thought it would be fun to see them since I love parades and we would miss it. (I secretly want to make a parade float, is that crazy?) We also got to cast our vote for our favorite float and then got balloons from the clowns and Carly and Gus got their faces painted. I forgot my camera to the preview so there are no pictures of the floats, but we took some later of our swag!

Happy Birthday Candace!


I tried a Topsy-Turvy cake for my friend Candace's birthday. It turned out pretty good I think! Happy Birthday Candace!

Who likes Lagoon? I do! I do!















Our stake Lagoon day was on July 12th. Max. Carly, and I went up with the Hutchinson's (minus Rylee). We had a blast and we even got the kids to try a few new sides that they wouldn't do last year. Some of the favorites are Rattlesnake Rapids, Turn of the Century, Dinosaur Drop, Bumper Cars,and the Ferris Wheel. Cooper also got in his share of Skee-Ball! Awesome!
