We were fortunate enough to have Ute Stampede and Lamb Days on the same weekend again this year. It worked out perfectly for us since it is the one time of year our families get together for our hometown celebrations. This year we partied at Ute Stampede Thursday and Fridaythen hit up Lamb Days on Friday and Saturday. It was perfect.
The girls really enjoyed the rodeo. Chanel did remarkably well for sitting that long and loved watching all of the horses.
Me and my cowboy...
(he would hate it if he new I just called him that--oh well, he never reads this anyway:o)
Elena couldn't wait to ride the carnival rides. She was most excited for the ferris wheel. So we stood in line (even though it was the longest *sigh*) and Austin rode it with her...she LOVED it!!!
At Austin's parent's house (which used to be his grandma's before she passed) there is a huge hedge out front that has grown much bigger than it used to be. When he was younger they used to jump it all the time to see who could clear it. Karla (Austin's sister) challenged him to jump it and try to clear it being as big as it was...
Of course he took on the challenge and this is the result...
READY, SET, GO!
He TOTALLY cleared it like it was nothing:) I'm so proud(and happy we weren't headed to the hospital).
We spent the rest of our night lighting fireworks, club dancing with our glow sticks, and rocking out to music. Tons of fun!
Friday the kids waited patiently at the Mammoth parade for candy...they don't look too thrilled do they? I think they were worn out.

Here it is --
It may not seem that big in the picture but it is huge!!! It was probably 4 ft. by 4ft. (I don't really know the dimensions, but it was really big--)

At Lamb Days, we enjoyed the mutton dinner and fireworks, the fun run, and another parade. Then our whole family went up the Nebo loop and had lunch by the river where the weather was cooler. It was so nice. We also had our family pictures taken, but I will post those later after they are finished being edited.
We ended the busy weekend with the final Harry Potter--it did NOT dissapoint! So Good:o)
Stay tuned for the rest of our Summer adventures...
