A variety of fun with some minor injuries

    We start with a 'throw back' photo of the O.G. neighbor guys.

 Scott Albert, Andy Smith and Gregory Ralph

    Then, miraculously, Greg finally found and bought the lawnmower of his dreams this week, finally completing his Father's Day celebration.

 Thank you Isaac!

Maiden voyage!

   

 Greg had another 'hard' day at the 'office'.

 

 

    And poor McClane had a spill on his bike and got some serious road rash on his face. Thankfully no teeth are damaged and he should heal up nicely. 

Don't mind the band-aid above his lip, there's a scrape under there too.

    We made a quick trip to the car show and finally found a car I like and felt was picture worthy.

 

    Then we had a little early birthday celebration for Charlie's upcoming 10th birthday. First she got to go to dinner to the "Brick Oven" with her two friends, which she's been begging to do for months now. Then there was jello-cheesecake and cupcakes with even more friends. (She's got a few friends.)

We can't believe she's hitting double digits!

 Lots of friends to help celebrate.

 

    And to start our weekend of Alpine Day's we began with the rodeo. 

 

The cash-cow line-up and the flag ceremony were highlights.

And Charlie finally got another photo with the rodeo clown and a bonus photo with the tractor driver, a.k.a. our friend and neighbor, Dean.

    So many fun things! There was also a river floating activity down the Provo river, earlier this week, for Brock, McClane and me but I only have bruises to show for that fun time, no photos. Greg was there too, but he's like a cat and can't handle getting in the water so he just waited at the bottom of the river so he could shuttle a few leaders back to their cars. Fun stuff!

    We still have the parade, carnival and fireworks and, of course, Charlie's actual birthday, to enjoy and look forward to and then the real count down for school will begin! Yuck!
