the Nucor Picnic 2011

We love the Nucor Picnic that's held every summer! The kids played in the bouncy houses, ate cotton candy, played with water guns and had their faces (or arms) painted. (Grey felt he was too old for face painting!) We had BBQ for dinner and once it got dark we watched 'How to Train Your Dragon'...one of our favorite movies. As usual it was a blast!!

I even got a Chad tattoo!

It was a late night but by far one of our favorite summer activities!

Swimming Lessons

We added swimming lessons to our summer activities this year. Chad was off one day during the 2 week lessons so he's in some of the pics too. Here ya go!

After lessons were over the kids got about 5 minutes to play on the slides and with each other before the next group of kids showed up.

Time to go home!

 

the Angel Moroni

Well, I'm skipping a few things I need to blog about in order to share the interesting time we had trying to see the angel Moroni being put on the Brigham City Temple. It was a dark and stormy day. At noon people from all over town gathered to see the sight. Every street for blocks was lined with cars, every yard with a view around the trees was full, and we managed to find one of the last empty spots in an abandonded parking lot next to a run down apartment building 2 blocks away from the action. From behind.

Our View:

We got really excited...

Even KSL TV was there to see via helicopter.

After waiting for over an hour the word went out that the angel had been unhooked from his crane and moved away. The wind was blowing too hard and it was too wet. We went home dissapointed.

Later that afternoon (around 4p.m.) Mom and I ran downtown to the quilt shop to match some fabric she had for a quilt. This is what we saw:

We literally saw the last 3 minutes of the angel being attached! It was bright, sunny, and windless. 

So now Brigham City has it's own Angel Moroni!
