Everything is so crazy in the summertime. Holidays, birthdays, camp, kids going every direction. At least I don't have to worry about if they are getting their homework done and handed in. I don't know which is harder. I am almost glad for the school year to start - I think.
We were supposed to go to Wyoming the weekend before the 24th of July, then everything started happening - car problems, finding someone to watch the dog, not being able to get a vacationer (a portable liquid oxygen tank for my husband). In the end, we didn't go because he couldn't get a vacationer. We might just buy one to have on hand except they are kinda big and cost $3,000 - $4,000. Oh well.
In the end, we went up to the canyon and hung out on Friday. That was fun. The best parts were roasting marshmallows and wading in the cold, cold creek.
On Saturday we went to South Towne Expo Center and checked out the floats that were going to be in the 24th of July Parade. That was funner than actually watching the parade on tv - which was quite boring. David and I liked the quilted float the best - especially that fact that all the quilts and wood were going to be donated to good causes afterwards. Plus, it was kind of cool to see how they put it together close up. The crest of the wave was crocheted. Oh yeah, and did I say that David was harrassing the cast of "Peter Pan" that had a float there? At least he's entertaining.
After that we went to Golden Corral and stuffed ourselves (that's the problem with buffets - but at least they have stuff I can eat). To finish off our non-vacation, we went and saw the Harry Potter 5 movie. It was pretty good, but I was disappointed that they left out the part about Fred and George turning the entryway into a swamp. That was my favorite part of the book.
