I'm late blogging this run. It's been a busy, but good, weekend. Kevin, Larry, and I headed out at 7:00am but Larry informed us he had to be back to go support a hike some of the Relief Society sisters in our neighborhood were doing. Kevin and I went out again for some more miles after dropping Larry off. We ended up going about 10.6 miles It was good we kept it a little short today because Tiffany called and asked if we could stop and pick up some glitter on our way to see Amy in the Art City Days parade. Tiffany is interning at Lavendar Farms and has help design the fairy costumes for their parade entry. One young fairy couldn't make it this week so Tiffany asked Amy to fill in. She did an awesome job and had a lot of fun riding on a small horse-drawn wagon and waving at everyone watching the parade. Karen and I are both from Springville so this is our hometown parade, but we hadn't been for many years. We, and our other two daughters, got shaved ice and watched the parade and had a good time. I then spent a few hours running errands to help Karen and the girls get ready for girls camp this week. After that I left Karen and our older daughter to shop, cook, and pack for camp and took our two youngest daughters to visit my parents at their property in Nephi canyon. My Mom said they were going to eat around 5:00pm and we passed through the gate at exactly 5:00pm. The marinated chicken, corn on the cob, shredded potatoes, and pumpkin pie were delicious. I visited with my parents and two of my sisters, taught Emily how to drive the four wheeler by herself, lost at Canasta, taught my daughters to play Yahtzee, and enjoyed the absolutely perfect weather and frequent visits from the humming birds. We had planned to leave around 9:00pm and passed through the gate at exactly 9:00pm. I only mention our arrival and departure times because this is the only time in recorded history that we have arrived to and left from a scheduled event exactly on time. My daughters thought that was pretty cool. It was also cool when we saw an inch worm floating in the sky attached to...absolutely nothing. There was nothing but sky above, and there it was dangling on an invisible thread in the breeze. My sister saw it, too, so we have four eyewitnesses. What a fun day!
