Park City Pics

Day Trippin

Mark, I and Allie took a day trip up the beautiful mountains of Park City so we could visit with Neil and Niki. We found an outdoor cafe that allows dogs, and since it was such a nice day, it nice to eat outside. Allie did great, except she wanted the attention of the waitress! We had a good lunch and a great visit. It was nice to see the blogs of their kids so we knew something about the grand kids!
We wish we could of stayed longer, however, Mark had to get back to work the next day to get ready for the IFA Grand Opening (hopefully we will have pics).
Park City is so nice in spite of the smoke that filled the valley that day from the Corner Canyon Fire in Draper just over the mountain in the Salt Lake Valley.
We look forward to next year when you guys come back! Allie will be old enough to be left, so we stay a little longer. It's always good to visit with them ;)
Thanks Niki for the nice note and the pamphlet, it is very interesting to read!

The Fair Pics

The Week Long Party!!

The Box Elder County Fair is a great success again! Here are a few highlights of the fun time we had. The "Beatles Group" known as Imagine, brought the crowd to its feet. We included a clip for you to see. They started with early Beatles and ended with the Sargent Pepper, they had 3 eras they performed. The entertainment isn't all Cowboy music.

We of course had to go the Rodeo which is always fun and we closed the fair again with dancing every night. Saturday night will be the best dance band!! We Cowboy Cha-Cha, 2 Step, Waltz and Ten Step. Mark is a great dancer. It's a lot of fun especially hangin with friends. Our kids used to ask what we do there and why we spend so much time at the fair?? We hang out with friends, just like you do. Geez I guess they thought we were too old to have so much fun. The Pee Wee Lamb show is always fun to see with the costumes and the little kids dressed up. It's always sad to see the Fair end, but we get to relax again and go to bed at a normal hour. The local food booths are really good and best of all the fair is free!! Thanks Box Elder for the party, See you next year 2009 !! (Mark says thanks to those who voted for him in the survey! Like Kim will really give it to him ;)

Once again it's time for the Box Elder County Fair. Today is the first day and I went to see if I won anything with my picture entries. I entered 4 photos and 3 took 2nd place in the amateur division!! I was excited, on Friday I get to collect my prize money, what on earth should with it, should I invest it, should I save it, should I pay a bill, or should I buy some fair food!! (Take the survey!!) After all a whole $4.50 will buy a meal there. I entered Kylan's pic I took of him in the tree, it is pretty cool but it didn't win. More on the fair to come ;) On the survey the first question kinda got cut off (invest with Chuck!) our son-in-law who works for Edward Jones...

Allies Adventures

Allie took her first road trip of her young life! We tripped down to Hurricane so she could meet mom, dad and Cricket. She travelled quite well and even though her energy level was a little much for Cricket, they did great together. She wore out Cricket, I'm sure Cricket is glad for a little R&R after we left. We had a great time and wish mom a speedy recovery and we thank dad for the great Turkey dinner.
While there Allie learned to Shake and jump on the fireplace. She is doing great with her basic commands and growing quickly, we even had to loosen her collar.
