More August Fun

It was a great Summer full of fun times and great memories. One of the fun memories was when the Stewart kids came to visit for the day.  

It was the perfect day for outdoor activities full of water and sunlight. They went to the splash pad at the Canyon park by the Elementary school. Everyone got way wet and way dizzy rolling down the hill. It is always a great time when cousins come and visit.

What would Summer be if there was no county fair? This is one tradition that is a must before Summer ends. The only down fall was it was not as exciting because of all the Covid-19 restrictions. 

There were not as many animals and displays in the different houses. The carnival rides were also cancelled this year.  Even without all of these things, we still had a good time walking around and looking at all of the fun displays, crafts, art, and animals.  Logan had a cool thing to do this Summer to get ready for school. His teacher sent him a pack of fun activities to do outside and a fun little person that looked like Mrs. Kendrick. He got to bring her with him so she could be part of  his fun activities.  He took her to the fair, the dentist, and tubing at Bear Lake.

Another fun little adventure we had was a trip to St. George for a weekend. On the way down we had a little mishap with the tire on the van. As I was driving I noticed that the van was swaying a bit. I thought about pulling over in Scipio but we didn't. Then about 4 miles outside of Scipio, the back tire blew and we were on the side of the road and needing a tire change. 

I was thinking it wouldn't take too long to put the spare tire on and get to the next town. Unfortunately, I took the spare tire out and it was flat. Oh great, I thought now what. So we had the kids chill outside on the side of the road.  We found a roadside service company to come and help. Just before the guy came a truck driver came and pumped up the spare tire and I thought about calling the guy and not spending the extra money. He was just a couple minutes away from us though when I called so I told him to keep coming.  The man came and put a new tire on and it was the most I have ever spent for a tire. Needless to say it was definitely a huge blessing to have it done and we were safe. We made it to St. George safely but later time than expected. 

While in St. George, we had a great time with family and relaxed. The kids had a great time with cousins and friends. Tiffany and I were also able catch up with some friends of ours.  We decided to check out the new park by the Boilers.  Back when we were kids, only the druggies went to the Boilers to hang out.  Now Washington City has made it into a nice park.  The kids had a blast with their cousins.
