It is hard to believe the summer is ending. But school starts on Wednesday, so it is official.
Here is a recap of the fun we had the first couple of weeks of August
Here is a recap of the fun we had the first couple of weeks of August
Normally I would not consider going to the Thanksgiving Point Gardens when the temperatures are in the high 90s, but since I can't walk long distance anyways I knew I'd be getting an "old lady" cart. So the kids and I enjoyed a beautiful stroll (roll) through the Gardens. They are incredibly beautiful despite the heat.
Mark found some work that had to be done in the Gardens so he met us half way through to cool us down.
The kids were very grateful for the cool down.
The fish were hungry in the Koi Pond. The bigger ones were jumping out of the water to get the food.
The first weekend in August is time for "Cherry Days" in Santaquin. Mark refuses to call it by it's new name "Orchard Days" To him it will alway be "Cherry Days"
And of course there has to be a parade
We met Grandma on Main Street so we had a prime spot to see Grandpa in the Parade
He is the handsome one in the middle.
The best part of a small town parade for the kids is the amount of candy that is thrown out.
John's excitement was uncontrollable when he caught a piece right in his hand.
The second weekend in August is always the Kearns Fire and Ice Festival. We have the luck of having some great friends whose backyard backs up to the football field where they shoot off the fireworks. So we bring the kids and have a great dinner and then hang out until fireworks time.
The fireworks are incredible when you are that close. The wind was blowing this year so the ash fell on top of us.
But it was worth it! It is the best fireworks display we see all year with our prime spots!
