Sunday Dinner, Talent Show, Parade

Sunday Dinner at the Roundy's.  It was just the people who live in Provo and Orem.

Some cute kids

 Abi was nice to Isaac and let him eat her ice cream.  However she got up and left.  So Isaac took her seat and cozies up to Grandpa. Gave him the cutest smile.  So cute.

The Talent Show portion of the Sunday event

 Uncle Greg and Zoe singing.

 Drew provided the tap shoe sounds for Uncle Greg and Zoe.  Isaac thought that portion was cool.

 Jackson doing a magic trick.  Tess tied him up

 They locked him in the chest.

 They hold up the curtain. And Jackson escaped. 

 Then My battery ran out.  So no more pictures.

The Parade

 Michael and Isaac

 Cameron in the Band.

I didn't get any pictures of the lunch afterward.

Hiking Stewart Falls

This was actually last Monday in June.  Amy and I went up to Stewart Falls.  At the beginning of the trail there were still some trees that had fallen and were right of the pathway, so we had to either go over them or under them.  I choose to mostly go under them.  However, on our way back there were some people cutting them down to clear the path.

 While we were at the falls we were the only ones.  When we were walking up we ran into a couple and a runner.  When we were going back, we ran into like 3 big groups and a couple of small ones (We ran into a family reunion where some of the people were from Cary. It's always surprising of who you can meet here in Utah during the summer time).  By that time it was getting quite warm.  So I would say 9 something is a good time to do the hike.

 Up near the falls there was still snow on the ground.  The water from the falls went underneath the snow.

Amy and the Falls

Us and the Falls

 We made a small fire.  It did take us a while.  But right after we set it up the correct way so air could get in we had no problem.  We toasted some apples and cheese.  We ate the cheese with some crackers.  It was good.

 This little guy liked watching us eat/cook.  He made a  funny little noise.  The best way I could describe it is a chirping like sound.

 These next animals we saw on our way down the mountain in the car.  We went slowly and I got some pictures.

A deer.

A Turkey.

More 4th July: Breakfast, Balloons, Park, and Ice Cream

I didn't get any pictures at Breakfast.  But it had the usual: pancakes, ham, yogurt, banana, and your choice of milk or orange juice.  Apparently nobody wanted to eat their bananas or yogurt then so I took them home.

 This year there was a Darth Vader Balloon

Up, UP, and Away!

 The Sun made it over the Mountains.

Water Gun Fight

 Elliot is shooting Isaac.  He took it pretty well.

 He's got the right idea, get a shield.

 I didn't get any pictures at the Purple Turtle either.  But I'm slowly not able to eat as much Ice Cream as I use to.

The Beginning of the 4th July Celebration

The Flag Raising Ceremony.

 This flag at Macey's is huge.

 Their flag raising was not what I expected.  We got there at 8am and the flag was already up.  We thought we missed it, but we didn't.  They just lowered it, had a small moment of silence, then raised it again.  It was a well thought out plan because of the size of it.

 They had some veterans there.  One of them said a few words before the flag was lowered.

 When the flag was up they released some balloons.  They did more than is pictured.  It was fun seeing how small they would get.

The Flag Retirement

We went but did not take pictures.  So sad.  There were more people at that one.  

 The Carillon Concert

It was a windy day.

 The Bell Tower is behind us.

Baby, Garden, Ice Cream, Spout

I was better this week at taking pictures.

We watched Isaac for a while one day.

 Michael was balancing that funny looking water gun thing on his finger, which fascinated Isaac.  And He wanted to do it too.

 We also talked on the phone

 And were just cute.

 So if you make comments in a public way about wanting to garden, you'll get offers from people with their own yards to let you garden there. 

It was brought up that I don't have any pictures of me.  So here I am.

 You see the space where there is only dirt, well there use to be tall grass there.

You see the space where there is only dirt, well now there are seeds and garden plants there.

We got a buy a small scoop get a small scoop free, so we went out on a date to get some ice cream.

 Picture #2 of me.  

I got Toffee Pecan Crunch

 Michael got Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

The rest is on Sprout so feel free to exit blog now.

 Now this plant is on a window sill that faces west.  So at night the tops of their heads are all curved facing window because of the sun light that comes in.

 However, there is no sun light at night.  So in the mornings they're mostly standing straight up.  You can kind of tell in the photos.
