24th of July

Since living outside of Utah for the last 3 years, I forgot that this day is a holiday due for celebration. We started out by having my dad take me, my sister-in-law, and a family friend out shooting. My dad is a gun activist and tries oh-so-hard to get his daughter who is completely uninterested in guns to get a little more interested. Well this past Spring after a possible home intrusion and feeling completely helpless, I'm open to a gun now. We went out and got a little practice.



I took the boys to the grand Enoch City parade. Ha Ha... it was a joke. But my Dad was riding a lawn mower in it, so it was fun to see him there.



Poor Gavin didn't like all the loud horns honking, so he settled for a sucker to calm his nerves.



I, of course, had to take advantage of my dad's borrowed riding lawn mower to mow the lawns. Jordan and Gavin both enjoyed the rides as well. I have taken it upon myself to do that while I was here for the summer. I have mowed those lawns ever since I could push a mower. I use to mow them for $12 a week... and it is a lot of lawn! I always begged to get a riding lawnmower and my dad always said when he had to mow them, then he will get a riding lawn mower. I really don't know why he hasn't yet, because he dreads mowing those lawns. I may have convinced him now to do it.
