24 of July

I can't believe how fast the summer has gone. I don't even know what we have done, but it seems like just yesterday was the last day of school. Now the 24th of July is over and school is just around the corner. Manassa holds a celebration the 3rd wknd in July to celebrate July 24 - Mormon Pioneer Days. Utah celebrates on July 24th - no matter what day it is. (I'm sure if it's on Sunday, they make other arrangements.) So this year, the girls and I dressed up as pioneers and went with Bret and Austin to the annual fireman's breakfast. It was yummy!

Afterward, we just hung out. About 2:30 we went to Tom and Bestie's and followed them to a hill near Tom's brother's house. There we helped set up a HUGE slip and slide. There were lots of people. We ordered pizza and had drinks and LOTS of fun and Great conversation. We did this last year and it seemed my Austin and Avrie had more fun last year. But this year was fun, too. There were more people this year and more older "kids" this year. Hubs was able to join us toward the end which was SO much fun for our kids.

Then we came home and had a light dinner and just hung out with the kids. We were all pretty tired. So as we laid in bed, the kids already asleep, we could hear the fireworks. If we had known they were just down at UVU, we would have gone outside and watched them. Instead we just went to sleep.
