Lavender Days

My mom was in town this last weekend, which is always loads of fun. On Friday, I had the day off so my mom, sister-in-law, and her three kids went to Lavender Days down in Mona, UT. Ohhh, and guess who forgot to bring the camera!! This seems to be the reason for why my blog isn't that interesting, no cool pictures. By the way, this state has tons of cities that celebrate the most random things, i.e. summer days, onion days, strawberry days, swiss day, fiesta days, etc, which is great because each "festival" has lots of things to do. Anyway, we decided to go check this one out. We got there in the middle of the afternoon--the hottest part of the day by far, always a smart idea. Started off with the kids riding the sad, hot little ponies. Poor little guys just go around and around in circles with kids just getting on and off their backs all day long. Oh what a life. After that, we went to the "fairy tea party" where the kids danced around with grown-ups dressed like fairies and then had lemonade and really good frosted sugar cookies. Then on to the little vendors booths to buy some fun crafty things, later I tossed some rings around to win a huge bottle of some energy/health drink. Haven't tasted it yet so we'll have to see if it is even good or not. I then watched some hot shot gun slinger guy twirl some guns in his hands. Impressive but kind of boring after a half an hour. We wanted to go on the paddle boats which I was looking forward too but the stupid line was forever long and with three kids 4 and under, we weren't about to stand in the line with it being as hot as it as. At that point we had enough, plus we were hungry so we headed pack up to Provo. Anyhoo....that was one of the exciting things I did this past weekend. For all of you who check my blog every day and have told me I need to update it, I hope this satisfies your request for now. I will try to remember the camera over the 4th of July so that I can take some pictures and post something that is more exciting than just words and a downloaded picture. By the way, I tried to make my own pictures in paintbook but with the mac it wasn't working as well as the PC program so I gave up. I tried to be more exciting but like always, it tanked. Sorry!
