Good old-fashioned summer...

Pioneer Day started the way it always does, with the primary parade. Val and I aren't in the primary presidency anymore but got roped into helping. 


The littles are the only kids still riding the float. I rode on the float with them and my new water bottle got knocked off and ran over by the trailer. :(


Julie and I were goofing off after the parade. 


In the afternoon, we hiked down to the river by Little Babylon and Sky Mountain. We went with the Beattys and Rosenbergs. The Beattys brought a friend, who happened to be Maxine's friend, Jason. They were in the same group for Preference and he's always playing around with Maxine's hair. She's told us stories about how he'll come up behind her and fluff her hair and say things like, "Why do you have so much hair? Where does it all come from? Why is it so fluffy?" Good times. 


We played a fun game throwing water balloons back and forth in a Battleship meets Red Rover game. Mark and I got out after a while because he needed a snack.


The weather was overcast and a little humid but kept the heat off. 


Happy peeps.


After the Beattys left, Merril and Ryan hiked to the arch and the rest of us stayed behind to play in the sand and we found these teensy frogs! They were the cutest! By the time we left, it was about 4:30 p.m. and the sun had come back out. The hike back up the canyon was a little brutal but it was worth it. Here's to enjoying a relaxed, uncomplicated summer!
