24th of July

So we got to be in Enterprise for the activities on the 24th of July. This is a bigger celebration than the 4th there. It starts out with the fun run. Although I don't know how fun it is :) My sister-in-law and I ran the 5k. We did pretty good for not training very much. It is also a lot harder to run at 5300 ft compared to 200ft here, but we finished in about 32 mins. That just gives us a time to beat next year...right Shemri?

Ian, Shemri's sister Ali, and my brothers Rand, Mical and Colten ran the 10k. Colten's wife Megan walked the 5k.

We all get t-shirts, and Ian and Colten even got medals.
Then we all rush home to try to shower in only 2 showers, and get ready in less than an hour to make it to the parade.





Ian's family also came down for the activities and to check Enterprise out.

After the Parade, there is a program. My family got asked to sing at the last minute some old Pioneer songs.
So here is my mom, dad, brothers, aunt, cousins, niece, Malia and I singing some old Pioneer songs.

After the program, we went home and had a yummy lunch, and then did a pinate. The kids loved it and a sexy guy ran it :)




Then we went to the races again.



They do a fireman pool there where they put money into a pool they have made with a tarp and tires, and then spray the kids as they try to get money, but it was so hot, and the races were taking forever, so we just went home, and Grandma put money into her pool and we sprayed them with the hose while they got it.

Then the last activity of the day is the rodeo. Malia loved it and even got dressed up in her little boots she got from her cousin. She got to go chase the rabbits and chickens and almost got one! (We were glad she didn't) She also informed us that she can rope! And poor Gunner fell asleep after 5 minutes of being there so missed the whole thing. I didn't get very good pictures though.


It was a great and tireing day!
