July 25th~

So, we celebrated the 24th of July twice. We went to the Ogden Pioneer Days Rodeo on Thurs., 7/24 (from this I have no pictures because it was such a hot, chaotic and late night. We got to the rodeo around 6:45 and it was packed. The stadium holds 11,000 people and the announcer told the crowd that the sell - out crowd was over 13,000 people... how exactly is that safe??

Anyhow, the rodeo was fun (once it cooled down). It was outside and was really hot for the first few hours. Once the sun set and it cooled off, it was more bearable. We didn't get home until after 11 p.m. (on a school nite) and didn't even stay for the fireworks.

We made up for this on the following night. The Duncans invited us to their home to BBQ and to light off fireworks for the kids. Here are some pictures that I snapped

Tayler, Ashley and MeganThe three amigas

Megan and Tayler (Steph's daughter) played really well. They are both 3 and are only about 2 months apart. It was fun to watch them play and giggle. We also had Hailey (Rencher's daughter) for the weekend. She, Ashley and Megan played and fought all weekend.

I think little girls sure are fun to watch play. They played Barbies, house, dishes, dress up... you name it. They have their own little conversations and are so bossy to eachother. One minute they are fighting, the next they are having a ball playing Princesses.

You can't help but loving these sweet little things...
