Scottish Festival

So on Saturday Jill and I and a couple of friends went to the Scottish Festival. It was a lot of fun! On the way there we drove straight through the middle of a thunder storm. That was a little scary. We practically had to stop because we (or Jill rather) couldn't see where to go. Crazy. Good thing when we got there the rain had pretty much stopped. I think the rain had slowed things down there so at least there wasn't a lot of people there. We walked around checking out the different booths, the food (the kind you would see at the fair), the fun people all dressed up, the crazy highland games. We ate yummy grilled corn, There was a homemade ice cream stand where the ice cream was churned with a crazy john Deere contraption. It was cool. I could so be a part of this world. Jill and I might join the Utah Scottish Association! Oh yeah and the guy behind me on the bleachers is wearing the OFFICIAL tartan of Utah... Camo

Ginormous Dandelions!

Birthday and blessing weekend

This past weekend was my dad's birthday, and the baby blessing of my newest little nephew. We had a great time! The whole fam (except my little bro and my big sis, Missed you!) came for the weekend. Kristen came too, we had a busy, fun time! Friday we hiked mount timpanogos. It was a lot of fun. I remember hiking up to the caves when we were little, but it has been a long time. The caves were very cool. It was a lot of fun hiking with all the kids too. We also went to dinner for my dad's birthday up on the top floor of the Joseph Smith Memorial building. It was great. My brother Jed rounded up 70 (+/- a few) attributes/qualities that we love/admire about my dad, and a few funny stories too. =)

Sunday was the baby blessing, and we had a great time too. It was wonderful! We had a great weekend. Sorry no pictures of that, I know how fun pictures are...

Memorial Day 2009

For the Memorial day weekend this year my sister and her boyfriend and Kristen went to St George (where my parents live) and had a fun, long weekend. We had a great time, we went miniature golfing... Jill got a hole in one! I think Kristen had the lowest score. We went hiking, well on a nature walk anyways, in Snow Canyon. We went to church in Pine Valley. My mom said it is the oldest continually used church I don't know if that is in Utah or in the church. The chapel is little and there were over 600 people there, so as you could imagine they had chairs and closed circuit tvs up everywhere. We were in the kitchen/RS room. It was fun though. After church we took a sneak peak at the chapel and a classroom that is up these tiny little stairs. It was a lot of fun. We then walked around the Pine Valley Reservoir. It was a beautiful day and there were lots people out fishing and picnicking. My sister brought her dog (we were shocked that my dad said it was ok), and he had a fun time too... It was a great weekend!
