A couple days after my birthday I was able to FINALLY go to a Salt Lake Bee's game. I love Bee's games and it's been hard to go to games since I've moved to Logan. So it was super fun. Tanner is in love with baseball so he loves going to games as well. He wanted to sit in the actually seats, but I honestly think it is more fun to sit out on the grass. I might give in though and sit in the seats next time, because I'll give it to him, they are a lot more comfortable then the grass. It was a fun time though, I can't remember if they won or not, I think they lost. But its not really about that to me, I like the atmosphere of the games the most. It's so fun and relaxed. You can just kick back on the grass and watch the game!
That next week was the 24th of July. And I think I have mentioned before that I love this time of the year. I am in love with fireworks and parades so July in Utah is my favorite time of the year. For the 24th my family has a tradition of going to the Bountiful parade every year. My grandma and my great aunt wake up super early in the morning and save us spots in the same place every year. They have to stay there all day so that no one steals them. Once the parade starts that night it's an hour of floats, horses, church groups and bands. Sadly I don't think this years parade was as good as it has been in past years. But it was still so much fun! I love being able to hang out with my family and it was a good excuse to go home!
How cool is this horse? Painted like the American Flag!
Like most celebrations there is a carnival after with food, rides and bouncy houses. Unfortunately for me, I am broke so all I can afford was food. The rides were very appealing though, but holy crap rides are expensive! They are like $5 a ride, its insane! After the carnival their were fireworks so we sat on the grass and watched them. It was such a fun night. I love July, and I am really sad it is over!
Yes, my mom photo bombed us.. She thinks she is so funny.
Doesn't Tanner look cute with his Lei?
My next adventure was actually a work adventure.. but it was still fun! I got to participate in USU's women's clinic with Texas Roadhouse. The women's clinic was the coolest thing ever. It's a free one day training camp for women where they get to play with the players and coaches of the football team. They run drills just like the team does and learn heath tips and tricks. We also got to tour the new athletic training facility which is super cool. I got to meet Coach Wells and a lot of the players. It was such a fun experience and I'm glad I got to be apart of it!
The next day Tanner and I went on a tiny date which turned out to be one of the funnest dates ever. We
went over to Willow Park and hit at the batting cages. Then there were softball games going on so we went over and started game hopping. Just random games, with no one we knew. It was super fun. Then we both were craving nachos from BWW, so we headed over there. It was so much fun. It was simple, but relaxing and fun.
This was the only photo I took, should have taken some of me batting.. oops!
My last adventure so far was the Cache Valley Rodeo. I have never been to a rodeo so it was a new experience for me. Eye opening for sure. I liked the bull riding and saddle bronc riding was super fun to watch. My favorite though was the mutton bustin'. It was hilarious. Those kids are tough and freaking cute. I'll admit though, I wasn't a fan of the roping. Call me a city girl, but it seemed really mean. It was still really fun though, everything else made up for it!
It's been a great summer so far! I've been lucky and been able to do some really fun things. I'm kind of sad it's over. And call me a nerd, but I am actually excited for school to start. Not the getting up early part, but the actual school part. I have a feeling I am going to regret saying that when school actually starts, but for now I'm excited.
