Catching Up - July

July 4th is always a fun time with the family. The past two years we have gone to Driggs. It has become quite the destination spot for this holiday, and we're not sure we ever want to miss it now.
To add to the already fun and festive hot air balloon launches, the Huntsman Foundation puts on a wonderful and patriotic few days, all for free.

Complete with an air show, BMX racing, bouncy houses, food concessions, concerts,

and Glenn Beck. Loved the symphony music and his speech....very touching and patriotic.

Add some swimming and barbecuing, and you have a perfect holiday celebration!
This year's swimming lessons week was held the 3rd week in July. All the girls and kids came again for lessons at Lava.

There was floating the river, fishing, boating, fluming, and

a day playing at Bear Lake.

August was a busy month, too. Our world was turned upside down when I was made Relief Society president. Then a few weeks later, Roy was put in our ward bishopric as the second counselor. (I think our bishop hates us!) Life has taken on a whole new focus, as we both go to a lot more meetings now, and have challenging things going on all the time. Heck...we don't even know half the members in the ward! So we have our work cut out for us. Roy looks good in his new suit! I told him he was the best looking guy on the stand.
More catching up to come!
