Fourth of July!!!
Mayor Corroon
Okay so technically we celebrated on the 3rd of July, but it just made the Holiday weekend that much longer :)
We participated in our city's annual parade. I almost walked with gubernatorial candidate Salt Lake County Mayor Peter Corroon. But I think my conservative husband would have been embarrassed! Just joshing - I am glad only because then I got to be in the shade instead of the sweltering heat. Still, I should have supported the man. The kids loved the parade and the candy!
We went up to the Cherry Day's Festival and the munchkins had a blast on the inflatable items (slide, bounce house).
That night we did fireworks. Mags had fun...until she burned her fingers on an extinguished sparkler. Not ER worthy, but still a tragedy in her eyes. Otherwise the evening was enjoyable!
Maggie's 3rd Birthday!
Can you believe the little kid is 3?!?! She has a new, socially inappropriate nickname - the Ginger Midget. We got it off of Sherlock Holmes. She happen to walk in just after he said "ginger midget". We found it funny... :)
Mags loves Scooby Doo. No seriously. She wants to watch only Scooby Doo. So she got a Scooby Cupcake Cake. Her only major present was a Tricycle so she could ride with the big girls. :) Cutie Pa-Tootie.
Price, Green River and Moab
As a part of my job, I am to visit different areas around the state and see how their coalitions are functioning. Then we see if they want any assistance or training. This year I went to visit Price, Green River and Moab.
Price surprised me! The city is in Eastern Utah. They celebrate "International Days" - they have so many diverse cultures and religions in such a small area. This is partly due to the boom in coal mining in the early days of Utah. They also are famous for their dinosaur fossils. The museum was entertaining and full of history.
Green River - it may seem like a blip, but I have some affection for this city. The Mayor is very kind and supportive. I love how he attempts to balance health and city services. There is also the Tamarisk, a great little joint on the Green River. That's where the photos are from!
Moab - well, we've been to Moab a few times and I know I have other pics...I'll just have to find them and post them later.
