Fun with Beverly and Jim Davis

Jim and Beverly Davis made a return visit to
Utah. They have been on a marathon trip across the
country.
They came on Tuesday afternoon,

to see Irish Dancers and and listen to

an Irish musical group.

Bison on Antelope Island in the Great Salt Lake

We had a wonderful time.
Also went to the Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple open house,
Welfare Square, and the Joseph Smith Building

to see the movie of the life of Joseph Smith.
Eric and Jackie came for dinner Thursday evening, then we went back
to show off their house.
We were sorry that Jim and Beverly had to leave
on Friday morning, but understand that
they need to get on home.

This is the Place Park and Mutton Bustin'

Saturday Natalie, Ethan, Kade, Addie, Paul and I went to

This is the Place Park for the rodeo.

They had Mutton Bustin' listed

For you folks who have not heard of it,

Mutton Bustin' is when a child rides a

sheep.

The sheep don't like it too much and usually find a way to get the kid off asap.

Kade was very excite to try this; he was all set on

his sheep, ready to go, when the sheep in front of him

jumped over the fence, twice!

I think Kade made a wise decision to wait until

next year to ride that sheep into the arena.

Check out Mutton bustin' on youtube.

Addie had fun on the play train.

It was pretty hot, so we

came back to our house to swim in the pool.

Kade is a champ at going down the slide by himself.

Yeah, Kade!!!!

The kids had a sleep over,

on Sunday we went to church.

Kade and Addie were in my class in Primary.

We had lots of fun.

After dinner I drove them back down to Orem, to Ethan's work.

He was helping to move the stock into the new

Club house. Oh, Ethan works at a golf course.

So the kids and I had quite an adventure getting there.

I remember Ethan telling me to follow the road back by the

maintenance shop. I had it WRONG, we ended up ON THE GOLF COURSE!!!!

This nice man in a golf cart got us turned around, lucky no golf balls came flying our way.

Oh a good time was had by all!

Lavender Days

Last Friday Paul and I drove down to

Mona, UT for Lavender Days.

Small problem, Lavender Days was

advertised on the internet, but was not

being held this year. Oh well, Maggie

had a good time running around the grounds.

She thought this statue of a deer was real and

barked at it. Silly, Maggie!

The day was saved by stopping at the Red Barn for ice cream!

Yum, they have THE BEST ice cream!
