Re-pierced

When she was 8 she got them pierced.
They closed over.
She decided that she wanted pierced ears again.
She wanted to go to the mall in the middle of the day in the middle of the week.
She was very nervous.





This girl made all the difference.
She greeted her cheerfully.
They recognized each other from History class last year.
Her name was Bethany (all the Bethany's we know are nice).
She made her feel comfortable.
It did not hurt at all.
They make her look pretty.

We did not get to finish

In Utah, in July it usually rains in the afternoon with thunder showers. Then as quick as the clouds build and dump, it clears and goes back to being hot and sunny. It was not like this when I lived in Washington, usually it was cloudy and drizzly all day if it was going to rain.
My trusty helper was mowing the yard and I was weeding and edging and all of a sudden we had to park everything in the garage and sit on the porch.
Waiting it out.
Look how dark it got.
Splashing down the road.


We waited it out, it smelled so good. 
We ate Popsicles because it was still hot out.
 We could not finish mowing that day, it was just too wet!

We've been here 4 times!

Waiting for the Horse Parade to start.
It is a very hot day, over 100 degrees!

 See what is coming next!

We love this Silver Band every year.
It was short this year, only about 30 minutes but oh so good.
