Happy 24th!

We had a really fun long weekend to celebrate the 24th of July. On Thursday night we went to the Ogden Pioneer Days Rodeo with some of Neil's friends. Neil had never been to a rodeo in his whole life, so this was a really good one to get him started with!

We swam all day on Friday and Saturday at my Grandmas.
Here's Ethan
Mom, Shelley, Linds, and Me.
Sean, Alex's bare bum, Ethan, Dad, and Lindsay
Shelley and Lou
Neil throwing Lou Lou in the air- they could NOT get enough of that!
Ethan's turn
Me and Neil
Then Saturday night, we went to ANOTHER rodeo! We went with Missy and Aaron and Kelsey and Alex to the Days of 47 rodeo at the E Center. Neil got a good taste for rodeos this week since he'd never been to 1 in 27 years and then he goes to 2 in 3 days! Now we just need to get us both some cowboy boots for the next rodeo we go to!
The best part of this rodeo was the HILARIOUS sheepherding monkey named Whiplash! He rides a freaking dog! That is entertainment at it's finest!!

How fun! I love your fam. Jo told me that your friend Missy and her fam are moving into the Creekside Condo's where Chris and I are. Is this true?

Oh man, I LOVE rodeo's. That monkey would've been so fun to see! I can't believe Neil has never been to a rodeo....that's crazy to me, ha.
