HAPPY PIONEER DAY! 7/24/15

Zach and I took Friday off so we could thoroughly enjoy our 24th holiday and have a long weekend. We got up early that morning and went to the Ogden Parade with Tytan and the twins. All I can say is that I am no longer in Coalville haha. This parade was huge and had a ton of people watching going on! Where I grew up the parade was

so small.....in fact small enough that it turns around and comes back again:) I grew up thinking all parades did that! After the parade we headed up to Mountain Green where we were able to go swimming at the Browning pool. The pool was so pretty because it sits right in the mountains. We loved getting to soak up the sun and the twins even learned how to jump off the diving board on

their own. We went back to Zach's parents house to barbeque dinner before we headed out to the rodeo. Bob had just got back from Alaska so we took full advantage of grilling up some of his fresh yummy salmon. Zach and I headed back to our house to

hurry and get ready so we could all head to the Ogden Pioneer Days Rodeo. We have gone the last few years together and it is one of my very favorite rodeo's! After the rodeo we drove up to Evanston...yes we drove up there at 11 o'clock at night. We had to make it up there so we could get up early in the morning to go scouting for deer:) I drew out for a Wyoming deer tag this year with NO points so we are trying to track down a good deer for me to shoot in the fall! Zach and I got up early and hopped

on the four-wheeler to ride behind my parents house. We hiked a little ways to overlook the mountain side where we found a ton of deer. We headed back to my parents and made breakfast and took a little nap together. Later that afternoon we went out on a horse ride

with my Dad. It was a beautiful afternoon and we enjoyed the weather and time being outdoors.Saturday night Grandma Hope and Grandpa Floyd came over and we played Mexican trains. It is always a good time when this game gets started. Sunday we went to church with my family and played with the kids. This summer we have made it a goal to not waste any of our weekends and so far I think we have been successful!
