24th of July

Happy Pioneer Day! I was able to go home for the weekend and enjoy the festivities with my family. It was a lot of fun. We went to the Missoula's Children Theatre first. They put on Gulliver's Travels in Outer Space. It was cute. Then we went home to have some Fondue for my mom's late birthday meal. Unfortunately my sister Meg got a call (she's an EMT) and had to leave. They didn't make it back in time to be in the parade. it was weird not seeing the Ambulance. After the parade we went to the park to help Mom and Mandy with their booth for Cub Scouts. I stayed at the park with them the whole time and that is where Mom, Mandy, and I watched the fireworks. The only thing I was missing was Sue's ice-cream. Maybe next year...

4th of July Weekend

Happy Independence Day and Canada Day. I have actually done quite a bit the last few days, especially since I didn't really have many plans. After work on Saturday, July 1 (Canada Day), I decided to go watch what I could of the Stadium of Fire fireworks. I love fireworks. I love the burst of color and the pictures they create in the sky. I drug my roommate and her two nieces with me. Here are a few pics from the fireworks. Aren't they fun? Imagine what it's like in the stadium!

On July 3rd I hiked up with some girls in my ward to the Y on Y Mountain. This was my first time up there. Boy am I out of shape! It's only about a mile hike but I was dying the whole trip up. It's switch back and uphill the entire way. Once we made it, we decided to stay until sunset. After walking back home we treated ourselves to some creamery ice cream. Yum! Thanks Kelsey and Katie for hiking up with me!

Today, July 4th I went to the parade. I can tell I'm use to small town parades. There was no candy throwing, several floats and marching bands. So of course I had to take some pictures of it all.
