As you can see from the many excited faces (thanks Louise and Heidi), we are having lots of fun at the Bees baseball game. The fireworks are the big event of the evening but being at a ball game is also fun. Watching some baseball, eating, some baseball, eating, --- you get the rhythm. The innings wore on until at 10:50 and the game tied at the bottom of the 10th (or 11th), we gave up. The game ended just as we were getting to West Valley City. Oh well, maybe next year for the fireworks. It was still worth it because we were with family.
Campsite #13 at Spring Hollow (3rd dam in Logan canyon) is our favorite. It has the stream from the spring running in the back of the site and it is relatiavely close to Hyde Park so Kristen and other clean freaks can shower every day. Come on, we are out of doors so who needs to shower every day! We had to make three or four trips to the site to secure it but it was worth it. Some good memories have been made there -- think smoores galore.
While the Ford's were running around Alaska (grrrr, everyone (it seemed like) but me went there this year. Just wait until next year), Louise and I went to Tony Grove and enjoyed the flowers. I have loved the mountains and forests ever since I was a Boy Scout. The smell of the sage and evergreens, the clear air, the trails, all blend to make it a good experience every time I go.
We can even have fun in our own neighborhood. Gary Andersen, our neighbor, loves horses and likes to share them. We thought it would be fun to get the Fords and Stephensons on a horse so Gary helped us out. He has a pasture in his backyard so we loaded everyone on two of his horses and rode around the rink. Megan loved the horse and screamed all of the three times we had to peel her off of it. Louise, Kristen, and Janae enjoyed riding as much as the children. I just took a bunch of photos.
