Two weeks ago, we tried to go camping up Payson Canyon. Bad idea. We left late on Friday and found no place to camp anywhere. Instead, we stopped at a picnic spot, cooked our tinfoil dinners, made s'mores and then went home.
Last week, we decided to camp on Thursday/Friday, since Tracy had Friday off for the holiday. This time we left earlier and went to Diamond Fork instead. We found a lovely camp site and had a great time.
We had a long day on the 4th. Tracy and the boys woke up at 4:30 am to go down and stake out a parade spot. Then Tracy and Ryan ran in the 10k. Way to go, guys. I showed up much later with Camary and Xander and we watched the parade with Megan and Brooke and Denise and families. Then we drove up to Megan's for a barbecue. We got dinner at KFC, and went to eat at our usual firework watching spot below the temple, but we didn't stay there, because we had tickets to the Stadium of Fire. We walked down to the stadium and enjoyed the show, though I think the screaming girls were louder than the fireworks! It was fun. We walked back to the car, and waited on the grass for about a half an hour for traffic to clear out a little and got home about 12:30am. It was a killer schedule, and I think we'll just skip the morning parade from now on.
We have a busy week of fun activities planned. Then we're off to the Neeley Reunion in Idaho for the weekend. I love summer!
