July concert

There is always a 4th of July concert at Dixie State.  This year there was an artist (Russell Dickerson) that Courtney really likes so she really wanted to go.  Because the 4th is a Sunday, they had the concert on Saturday night.  Courtney was in heaven!  It was super hot but we were able to get seats in the shade so it wasn't too terrible.  

The seas were first come-first served.  Many people brought blankets and set up on the turf of the field but we decided to go to the seats of the stadium where there were back on chairs and shade.  I was amazed at how much room we had around us during the concert.  It definitely wasn't what I was expecting.

The opening act wasn't that great but the main act made up for it.  Before the main act started, Bryan took Courtney to buy a t-shirt and she was in heaven.  

Courtney enjoys my struggle to take selfies, as you can see.

There they go to buy a shirt, can you see them?

After the concert was finished, they had fireworks which were synchronized with music.  It was really cool.  We were high in the stands so we got a good view of the explosions.  

It took a while to get out of the parking lot but we finally made it home.  It was a great family activity.

Family Date Night

We decided to do something as a family as a "date night."  We chose to go bowling at Dixie Bowl because we had a coupon so it was really cheap.  There weren't too many other people there so we had a lot of space.

Bryan won, as he usually does, and Courtney and I tried to keep up.  We played 2 games and had a great time!

Soccer Camp

When Courtney got home from Girls Camp, she did laundry and packed for Vortex Soccer Camp with Snow Canyon High School.

She had a great time playing soccer all day and playing at the mall at night.

She claims she put on sunscreen but I don't know if I believe her.

Give her a Propel and she is a happy girl!

The girls had a lot of fun goofing off at the mall.

This is aimed at Courtney....

 

Girls Camp - Day 4 - Coming Home

The got up, ate breakfast, cleaned up, and were ready to come home.  The leader who drove the car Courtney was in made them do a Chinese Firedrill!  I wish I could have seen it.  She was in the front of the line of cars in the caravan so everyone saw.  Courtney laughed so hard when she was telling us about it.

Girls Camp - Day 3

They did a Faith Walk in the forest around Pine Valley.  Instead of doing skits, they did lip syncs, so that was hilarious when we got the video.  Courtney gave me permission to post it so you can see it.

Temple!

I got to go back to the Temple!  A friend and I got appointments at the Las Vegas Temple to do initatories.  Since St. George Temple is closed, we are able to go to other temples because we don't have a temple district right now.  So I made appointments for me in Las Vegas and appointments for Bryan and me in the Cedar City Temple.  It wasn't too hard to make the reservations but they go quickly so you have to jump on it.

I was really surprised that the temple wasn't busier but they may have restricted numbers because of Covid, I don't know.  But it was so nice to be back in the temple.
