July Activities

This past weekend we attended the Bountiful Handcart Day's parade and fair. Belle had fun riding the ponies and other carnival rides. Alison and Rich ran Handcart Day's 5k. Rich finished 3rd and Alison finished 5th in the 25-30 year old male bracket. We don't know why Ali was put into the male bracket but she did fine and would have finished 3rd in the women's.

Belle looked all to natural swinging a sword at the parade this weekend. She was able to fight with her cousin Easton and friend Richie. They also had a good time collecting candy.

This year Ali and Katie woke up at 5:00 am to reserve a curb-side view at the Handcart Day's Parade in Bountiful. Emmy was thankful when the shade from the surrounding trees finally cooled things down a little. We all had a good time this year.

This is a picture of Belle at the Handcart Day's parade in Bountiful on the 24th of July. It was 100+ degrees but Belle kept cool with a misting fan and her sunglasses.

Here is a picture of our little girls in front of our garden in a couple of their summer dresses. This year we planted plenty of beens, tomatoes, corn, squash, cucumbers, onions and zucchini.

Emmy is growing up so fast, she enjoys playing with Belle and is very easy going.

Belle is having fun this summer playing with water balloons, swinging, swimming, walking Abby and teasing her little sister.
