Penrod Reunion

This weekend we attended the Penrod reunion. This is the first time I have ever been to the Penrod reunion and it is the first time in about the last 20 years it has been held at the Penrod farm. We stared out visiting (chasing Max). Then we moved on to a chicken dinner. After dinner, Uncle Bub took us on a hay ride. I have been on hay rides with bails of hay but this one looked like he had just mowed the field and loaded it on. We had a great time.
There we even a few celebrity appearances. Sam Penrod from the channel 5 news cast and Micheal Aitken from the Dew Tour.

County Fair

Last night was the opening of the Utah County Fair. We met up with the Tijerina's, Kevin and Kenton. I have some good memories of this fair from 4H. I make Curtis go with me to see all of the Cakes, Photos, sewing...everything that has a ribbon. I always feel bad for the second place winners. I got Second place the year I put a cake in. They had it in a hot building and my frosting and decor melted.

They had a ranch style rodeo going. They had soggy mud puddles so you had to make sure you were up high enough to avoid being splashed. I forgot how much I love rodeos.

Another great day at the fair.

Corn

I am so happy, Max likes corn on the cob as much as I do!

Great Grandpa's Garden

Last year we dressed Max up in some bibs and took his picture in Grandpa's cabbage.

This year, Max went all the way back to the Pumpkin patch and corn stalks.

He Loves to visit Grandpa.
I am sure we were there at the wrong time of day to take pictures, but Max was so smiley.

Play time

summer chore

Max is really good at taking care of our lawn. he goes out back and moves the hose around a few times a week.

Finch Reunion

Our Family reunion was held at the Finch Cabin this year. Max did a lot of relaxing.

Bailey and Kennedy were really good at starting fires and loved the special time with Papa.

We had a lot of good food and played some really fun games. I was almost banned from paying any more games after I scored 3 Yahtzee's.

Lots of good hot dogs and smores.

We even made it out on two family bike rides.

Wednesday we went to the zoo and Ruth's Diner.

Curtis was daring and took this picture as an owl buzzed the crowd.
We missed Jared, Julie, Alivia, Rex, Lucy and Jack. Julie, you should know there was a bear less than a mile away from the cabin. The forest service evacuated the campsites and lakes. Who knew we were in such peril? Sadly, no one has found your Mountain Lion yet.
Love ya!
