We went to watch a rocket test. I told Connor this morning that we were going to see a rocket like on Curious George. He started yelling no rocket no rocket. I think he thought he was going on one.

My brother Matt and put together a hockey game to raise money for MS. They played on Saturday night and got clobbered. It was fun to watch, my brothers hadn't played together for years( at least I think I might be wrong).

Connor had is first soccer game today. He did great in practice better than I thought he would. When the game started he just wanted to sit on the side line. He finally wanted to go out and play then he kicked out of bounds and that was it.

Stacie and I went to the Davis County Fair. Did you know that you can get your hair cut at the fair! This year there was a Splash Dog event. We didn't stay to see the competition we watch the practice still just a entertaining. As always you get to pet animals and ride the ponies.

We went to Toquerville falls. It is a scary fun place. Another place that Parker can throw rocks. After 30 minutes or so Connor tells Raider he is done. We had a good time but neither Raider or I jumped off the cliff.

My kids lived on these things, Parker mainly Connor still had to play Baseball while we were there. He told me that he needed to take 3 things camping my baseball my bat my stuff (that is what he calls his mitt).

Grandpa Jeppson took Parker and Blake for rides on the tracker.
We went to Zion's National Park and did a short hike. I forgot how down hill takes a toll on your knees. We did the hike with the Pools. We just went to the second one because we heard from someone coming down that there was no shade and the 3rd one. Plus for the first half we had to hear Connor complaining on how he wanted to go home.

The creek was a fun spot. I guess you can say any place were a boy can throw rocks and not get into trouble is a good spot.
Connor can not stop talking about camping and catching fish. He tried for a while to catch something in this net he found at Grandpa Jeppson's.

I know that I have not posted a lot after the Yellowstone trip. It is because this is what we have been doing baseball. We watch baseball movies, play it, talk about taking baseball stuff camping. We had to buy a new bat because Parker doesn't want to share. Connor is getting to the point were he starting to move his glove to try and catch it. It is only for Raider, for me he wants to stand there with his glove in the air and for me to make it in like on Sandlot.

The Bountiful 24 of July parade is a tradition in my family. After the vary long parade we go to my Grandma's and have ice cream.
My brother Mat used to work for South Davis Fire department. He called them up and said he was at his Grandma's and that they should stop by. It was fun watching all the cars drive by and wonder why the fire truck was there.
