Summer Fun!!!

The floats for Days of '47 parade.

 The girls standing infront of the Kung Fu Panda float.

 The Utes float. They had all the schools of studies represented on there.

 KFC Yummmmm!

 This was my favorite one.

 This is the front of the Farmington float. I voted for this one.

 This float represented the progress of travel. So cute, each car did something different. Very creative.

 Pioneers coming down the mountain. The expressions on their faces were pretty cute.

 This dragon had a mist of water spraying from it's mouth.

 Willford Woodruff is in the above pic fishing. His arm would move like he was casting.

The next one is of course the Up float. A lot of detail with the forest and it's animals.

 This one is a replica of the tabernacle choir with each member being a different animal.

 My family standing by the choir float.

This cute float is from the Up movie too, but this one is for the Youth parade. They did such a good job on the little girl.

We have had a very fun summer so far. We spent the morning looking at all these beautiful floats. It really is amazing the time and talent that is spent on these. This is the first time I've ever gone done and seen them. They were on display at the South Town Expo Center. I didn't get as many pics as I would have liked, way too many people and strollers in the way. Afterwards we went and ate at TGI Fridays. The girls and I saw the movie Zoo Keeper a couple of days ago and the gorilla in the show ate at TGI Fridays and so the girls wanted to check it out. Crazy how movies can do that.

The girls were also in a children's theater production in Clinton for Clinton's Heritage Days. They started practicing for it when school got out, three days a week for two and half hours each day. They were so excited to be able to perform it. It never ceases to amaze me at how willing my girls are to try things. They are so talented and I love watching them develop their talents.

Erin is Buttercup from Power Puff Girls. Amber is Sleeping Beauty.

Close up. This after the parade before the performance. Very red cheeks.

We have been camping a few times, but I don't do the heat well so I didn't go on the last outing. I was able to enjoy myself by sitting in an air conditioned house and reading a book. Andy is such a good daddy and took the girls without me. He is so willing to help and do for us and he rarely complains. We love him!!!

We have a few summer work parties to go to in August so all of us are looking forward to free food and entertainment. We have to enjoy the rest of this time, because school starts in a month, Yikes!!!

Hopefully in the Fall we will beable to go to LA with Andy for one of his water dist. conventions. We are planning on going to the American Girl doll store, cafe etc., Legoland and maybe Universal Studios. The funds may not be there, but we are sure going to try. I suppose if there is a will there is a way, right.
