4th of July Celebration

This year I actually held the fourth of July off. It's amazing...We celebrated the day with Dave and Holli and Grayson. We had a fun day of just hanging out and then later that day we all headed to the park and watched the fireworks. They were amazing and long. Grayson loved watching them and stayed awake the whole time. What a fun way to celebrate our country's anniversary.   Happy 4th.

Manti Pagaent

It had been several years since we had gone to the Manti Padgent so we decided to make it a fun time and invited Porter and Ryland to go. We got reservations at the Yogi Bear RV Park and we camped over night.
We left that morning so we could do a little swimming and just enjoy the day with the kids. They really loved just spending some one on one time with Papa and Nana. We had dinner there and then waited for the show to start . It doesn't start until 9:00 so it was past Ryland's bedtime. She managed to stay awake for the first hour and then fell asleep. But Porter stayed awake through the whole show and kept asking questions. He really loved it.
We packed them up after the show and headed back to camp. The next morning we had breakfast and then headed back to SLC. It was really a fun mini vacation. I think we should make this a tradition with all the grand kids each year.

Fox Pointe Youth Conference

This year we volunteered to go to Youth Conference with our youth. It was a local conference where we went downtown and just explored anything that had to do with the church. We toured the Conference Center, the church Library, the Church Museum. We learned how to cook at the Lions House. We had lunch out by the fountain and really had a great day. I have lived here almost all of my life and today I saw and learned things that I never knew before.
