24th of July Weekend Part 1

I hope you will forgive me with the lack of posts. I started a new job, and went home this past weekend, I was busy.

The hubby and I got to go home this past weekend to celebrate the 24th of July in Utah (actually Dave went home Monday to hang out with his family while I started my new job and left Thursday). The 24th of July is when Utah celebrates the Pioneers entering the Utah Valley, its a big to do. There are lots of events going on and a lot of fireworks just like around the 4th of July.

My Mom rented a house from my Uncle down in Mount Pleasant for the weekend. I love that area of Utah, it is beautiful. Right after I flew in on Thursday, the hubby and I made our way down that way. Of course we had to stop for a Cafe Rio chicken salad on the way. 

When we got to Mount Pleasant, we headed to the next town called Fairview to watch the kid rodeo that was going on. Some of my family was already there watching.

We brought the furball along for the trip, he growled at the wandering steers.

The rest of my family got in around 2 A.M. that night.

We went fishing at the lower Gooseberry Lake and stream up Fairview Canyon.

Dad with one of his catches, I miss following him hole to hole to find the big fish.

So beautiful, I love it.

Chan and his nice little rainbow trout.

We went slip and sliding

Apparently I don't remember how to slip and slide, I belly flopped my first time down the slide.

I forgot a swim suit, it sure felt nice to cool off even fully clothed.


Since this post is long, I will post the remainder of our trip home tomorrow.
 Oh how I wish I was back where there was grass and green plants.
