On July 28, our wonderful friends from S. Utah came to visit us. We had Jeff & Deann, Maryann & Russ, Jen & Grey, and Jamie & Julie. We spent the weekend having BBQ's, going to an Escape Room, hanging out downtown, and reminiscing about old times. Mostly everyone left on Sunday, so Matt and I took Jamie & Julie to Bear World, then on Monday we took a 14 hour round trip drive to Yellowstone and Jackson. We had such a wonderful time that we decided to make this an annual event.
These pictures were taken 5 years apart from each other. This girl is such an amazing young woman. I wish she could see the beauty in herself that her dad and I see. Every 4th of July that we are in town, we get up early to save a spot on the parade route. She has always been my partner in crime for this. I will cherish these small memories that she and I have made together.
Cooper got a chance to go camping and fishing with Papa & Nana for a weekend to Heise Hot Springs for Bish's RV camping weekend. Papa taught Cooper how to fish and they ended up catching a few for dinner and breakfast.
Aunt Billie, Robert, Alicia, Olivia, Auntie Sarah, and Georgia all came to visit at the same time the first week of June. We stayed up late, roasted marshmallows, played games, walked along the river, went to Reed's Dairy, went to see Scotlyn at the zoo (she is a volunteer this year), went to Battle Zone, and had a lot of BBQ's. We always enjoy when family and friends get a chance to come visit.
Cooper had to research Vietnam for his end of the year report for 3rd grade. He did a great job speaking in front of his peers. For his food, we made rice noodle soup in a ginger chicken broth.
Staci, Hollie, Jess, and I went to Salt Lake City, Utah for a 5K race on Saturday, May 19. It was called a Margarita run because they served margaritas before the race. We spent the weekend at Josh's and did some shopping too.
