This has to be my favorite month! I absolutely love the hot summer weather! I love the excitement of July 4th and all the festivities. BBQ's and fireworks! I love the freedom we have and am so thankful to live in America!
We have been having a blast this July! The last day of school - (YIPEE) was July 1st! Right after school, we headed up to the Rockport Lake for our annual camping trip with our great friends the Mechams. This year was a little more scattered than in years past but we still had a blast! The water was awesome! Warmer that expected given the yucky weather this year!
Unfortunately, I never really got in the water! But everyone else was tearing it up behind the boat!
This year Jay & Carolee rented wave runners. Now typicall Jay (Yes the J J thing is a pain) and I are really opposed to wave runners - but I must say we had a lot of fun on thiers!
We have started some traditions with this annual trip such as going to the Spring Chicken Inn for dinner, going to the fireworks at Granite HS on the 3rd and hitting the Oakley rodeo on the 4th. Well, the only tradition we upheld this year was the fried chicken dinner - it is awesome. However, the service this year was disasterous. They fired the first server we had right after he had taken our order. Needless to say, Kyrsten and I had dessert long before our dinner was even served. It was still Yummy!
Instead of the rodeo, we took the kids to the Stadium of Fire. Of course we really went to see Miley Cyrus! It was awesome according to Kyrsten - Jayden claims he hated it! The fireworks were amazing! Before and after the show we had a blast tailgating w/the Ruelles!
The rest of the month we have spent playing outside and at the LTF pool keeping cool!
