July

Of course July was jammed packed! We had our annual 4th of July festivities. We went to the parade, which Max loved!! Ben had to work so he wasn't able to stay for dinner or the fireworks, but he did come to the parade. Max loved the fireworks, but fell asleep about half way through. Now when we go to my mom's house and we get a blanket to sit on in the backyard he asks me if we can watch fireworks.The next week we went to Island Park with Ben's family. The boys loved camping. Max just asked me today if we could go camping again. We went to West Yellowstone and say the Bear and Wolf museum. It was kind of lame, but Max liked the bears. I was actually suprised how well the boys slept in the tent compaired to our last camping trip.

We also took Max to the Treehouse Museum in July. It was really neat. He liked all the little houses and all the hands on activities.

We took my friend Joan to the Oquirrah Mountain Temple Open House. It was really pretty. It was fun to see the difference in this temple and the Draper Temple. We went with Tricia and Adam too. We took the boys this time and pushed them through the temple in their double stroller. It was a little strange to be in the temple with a stroller. Luckily we fit through all the doorways. It was kind of fun because we know where all the elevator are now! The Celestial Room was my favorite. We went in the morning so the sun was shining right into the windows. The Celestial Room is all white so it made it just that much brighter! It was amazing.
