Busy Weekend

What a busy 4th of July Weekend. We started by going to the Vernal Parade. Logan and Spencer were both in the UHS marching band. they did awesome. They have been going to 6:30 a.m. practices all summer. Dean has been working with the band as the marching instructor. He has been enjoying with the band.
After the parade we headed out to Salt Lake City. We had a barbecue with the Cook family. Lots of relatives Dean hadn't seen for awhile were there. Then we went to the West Jordan Rodeo. The kids enjoyed the rodeo. Now my girls want to be barrel racers. Too bad we don't have horses! :) After the rodeo was over the fireworks started. It was kind of sad because all of my kids commented that they missed watching the fireworks in Vernal. Vernal does awesome fireworks. We usually go to the park (with about three million other people) and sit with friends or cousins to watch fireworks. The kids just run around an play. It is fun. Next year we will definitely watch fireworks in Vernal.
That night we went to my sisters house to spend the night. Susan is still in South Carolina recovering from her mastectomy. It was fun to spend some time with her kids. We don't see them that often. Saturday, Logan and Spencer went to Lagoon with the Larsen's. They had a blast. Thanks Wayne and Lisa for taking them. Dean and I took the girls and traded off the old white van. It was time! We love our new Expedition. It is so nice to have some extra room.
Saturday night we stayed at Susan's again. The next morning it was home. We brought my twin nieces, Brooke and Maddie home with us to have a sleepover with us. The girls loved it. Now it is on to an equally busy week. Does it ever end?
