Summer Fest

This weekend was pretty fun (and blazing hot)! Summer Fest was this week and I hung out with Laura all day Saturday and later mom and dad showed up for the parade in the evening. We left around 1:30pm and when we got to Smiths where we parked we got out some blankets and found a nearby place to set them down so we would have a place for the parade in the evening. We noticed that the breeze was decent and so we went into Smiths and bought some water bottles to weigh our blanket down. I also bought some hostess snacks at Smiths which is something I VERY RARELY do. We went to the park where everything was happening after this and I ate my snacks. There were SO MANY BOOTHS! I bought a desert rose rock that I energy bonded with from one of the booths, it is so beautiful. There is a picture below somewhere. Here is a short video of some of today's events though including the booths.

After we looked at the booths and all the cool stuff people were selling we got some rickets and rode some of the rides they had. There wasn't anything too scary, just a bunch of rides that pretty much spun you around including the gravitron, tea cups, and some others that spun you around in the air. I think the video above has a short clip in it somewhere near the end of some of the rides. One of them was called the Star Trooper and it spun you in the air at a weird angle and the gravity made your feet feel really uncomfortable. I also went on the merry go round because I'm kind of old fashioned like that.

We had a lemon snow cone and after the rides we had more snow cones. Laura's second one was lime and mine was cherry. At some point during our time therw we also took a break and listened to some music by the "Good Bone" band. Laura and I also bought some food from one of the booths. I got a pretzel with cheese and she got a strawberry funnel cake. She let me eat some of her funnel cake it was amazing and so was my pretzel though I had to brush off SOME of the salt that was on it. Here are more pictures.

  
  

Later we went back to our blanket and waited for the parade to start. We were at the end of the parade route so we had to wait a bit longer than some other people. I think I want to actually be in a parade next year. I think I have outgrown just watching them. The only thing I was really watching for was the UVU float which I got in the video above as well. I want to be one of those people that throws candy at people in parades. I am thinking of doing that on my birthday, it sounds really fun. I think the funnest thing about parades for me currently is the kids on the sides, they are always getting excited about the candy and I just think its cute and funny.

Laura and I ordered pizza and then later after mom and dad came I went to Panda express and got some teriyaki chicken and veggies. A little later right before the fireworks Laura and I went to Zupas because she was hungry and I got a salted carmel crembrulee that was amazing. The fireworks started not to long after that and they were pretty cool. After everything was done we just headed home.

 
After we got home I was exhausted and ready to just relax. I spend some time splaying Runescape and then went to bed.

Sister Luke came home from her vacation in Europe, she is the one that usually give me rides to church along with my friend Whitney who is moving soon. She brought me a greek yogurt honey bar thing that was blueberry flavored. I ate it when I got to church and it was amazing. It aws kind of melted so it was really sticky but I loved it a lot. Today at church we talked aout stuff like family hostory but most of today is a blur.



After church we had Texas beef skillet with cheese, lettuce and whatever other toppings we wanted on it. I eat mine with chips. Yesterday was also Paul's wife Kayla's birthday and we celebrated today because it was better for our side of the family. we just had a lot of ice cream mainly and everyone but me played board games. I watched the Powerpuff Girls and some other stuff on Netflix. Later I had grilled cheese just for the heck of it. I don't think anything else happened tonight. I guess this is all for this post.
