Recent Events - While the Boys Where Away

While the boys were off fishing for BIG fish, the girls did a "little" fishing too. This was Sarah's first fish of the year. We went to Butterfly Lake (sounds like a girly lake doesn't it?). The girls enjoyed getting dirty, playing with the worms, and making sure the fish was good and dead (does that really sound like girls?).

While the boys were away we stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Bills while our floors were refinished (yeah!!!!!!!)

Grandpa Bills helped us do some work in our backyard to put in a place for a garden instead of weeds (darn weeds weren't producing very good tomatoes). We also have a spot cleared for another patio with a fire pit and a basketball court where the old sheds used to be (I'm not sure if this will happen in our lifetime or our children's but we can dream!).

The girls got to participate in the Days of 47 kid's parade in Salt Lake on the 18th. The North Canyon Stake's theme was "All Fired Up" which went well with the day's temperatures, but not the kid's attitudes (they were smiling for about the first 30 minutes and then all it was from there on out was "when is it going to start?" "I'm hot!"). The girls could have participated in the Bountiful Handcart Days parade on the 23rd as well, but when they told us it could be up to a two hour wait before the parade even started and we were expecting 100 degree weather we said no, thanks!
