24th of July Road Trip

So for our 24th of July weekend my parents and I decided we wanted to go on a road trip to salt lake to see the Days of 47 parade with some extended family. Jolene and my nephew Jaxton ended up coming along with us to what seemed like a fun getaway weekend, instead it was an adventurous feet to get back home.

Our first adventure besides starting off late was to run into our first traffic accident where two produce semi's collided into eachother creating a small explosion and fire which lead to about a three hour standstill on I-15 in the middle of a summers day.

can anyone guess the fruit?

Keeping my nephew Jaxton busy at the standstill.

and then there was a giant dust storm...


and a second car crash..


We finally made it to our destination, set up camp, and went on a carriage ride!



and then the sprinklers came on where we set up camp......


everyone lining up stepping down on the sprinklers so there wasn't as much water

but it didn't work very well..

my cute sister Jolene getting wet for our comforts :)

finally we settled down and set up our camp again to enjoy our evening


we had a very drunken visitor come to visit us and it was very entertaining.. she was asking us if we had seen fatty, fatty mckracken and her ducks. Then to top it off there was a fire hydrant in front of us where we were laying and she tried to balance herself on top of it cross-legged and fell.. :) it was very funny

just when things were settling the police came and there was a guy who was passed out drunk by us who they couldn't wake up so the firemen and ambulance people came to inspect and they ended up arresting him.

and buddy lovin his giant blue balloon!


finally the parade started and it was fun until the heat got to you and then we just couldn't wait for it to be over. Buddy was so cute with the motorcycle cops, when they were driving around in the parade, after they came he would clap and say again! again! please again agian! it was so cute


We finally ended our crazy weekend with one hot day at the zoo
