this year i missed the hyrum parade. which i was totally fine with. its not as fun as when i was a little kid. im not sure whether this is because i dont go running for the candy, or because now all it is, is a bunch of cars with their business logo on it. lame!! there are hardly any floats anymore :( needless to say, i wasn't upset at all with working 6-2. i got off right as the parade was getting over so i had time to go to my grandmas house and change, go up to the square and buy some really cute headbands, and still make it back in time for our family bbq.
mike missed coming to my grandparents because he was at work, but then we met up at paul and ashlees for another bbq, games, and fireworks. there was a lot of badmitton played. mike thought he was pretty good til he went up against paul. paul is a lot taller with longer arms so he only had to take a couple steps, but had everyone else running all over and diving. very funny to watch!! mike redeemed himself in volleyball, but just barely. we had a lot of fun playing volleyball, although anyone watching would have got a good laugh. a bunch of uncoordinated people trying very hard just to get the ball over the net. mike kept saying you bump it to me, i'll set it, and jon can spike it. like i can aim... HA! i told him maybe we should just work on getting it over the net. better idea i thought :) in our efforts to get it over the net, some faces were hit with the ball (megan and jon) the net fell down a few times, and we had a great time! (maybe not the competitive boys, but the girls really enjoyed it).
i love that me and mike both come from families that can have a good time messing around, laughing, and attempting to be pro athletes. and that we can throw our families together and have a lot of fun! thanks ash and paul for letting us come over, and for a fun night!
