As many of you know July 24th (Pioneer Day) is a state holiday in Utah. Every year they have a huge parade though downtown SLC celebrating the pioneer heritage. In order to commemorate the holiday, Shannon and I decided to take the kids down to see the parade. My favorite part were the Seagulls. I tried to get picture, but I couldn't get my camera out fast enough. Luckily they were news worthy so I was able to download a picture for you all to enjoy. you wouldn't believe some of the floats the local stakes but together! After the fun of the parade we headed to the park where they had inflatable toys, street vendors and more. All in all a pretty great day considering I was on the "clock".
I have not spent that much time outside all summer, so I was pretty drained, but knew that I had to do some studying that day. I pulled out the books and tried to dive in, but then Cambree and I got to talking about maybe going to see a dollar movie that night. We looked at what was available and were having trouble deciding between 2 movies. Then we came up with the idea to catch them both, but I had to earn the second one. If I buckled down and studied for a couple of hours I could go to both movies: If not, I only got to go to one. You know you have a problem when you have to treat yourself like a kid by setting up a reward system for things you should just do because it is required of you.
I am happy to say I earned both!

so which 2 movies were they?
I am so proud of you!! 10 points for proper study habits!!
Erica: they were probably R-rated movies and that's why you were too shy to post which ones they were! Of course I'm just teasing. Congrats on earning such a fun weekend!
R-rated Anne? How do we know is this Theater goes a bit beyond...Erica, with out us with you too! Just kidding, moving out of UT didn't corrupt me to bad (no more that the Attic did). I love the Seagulls...I'm glad you found a picture to share. Very fulfilling.
the movies
maid of honor and what happens in vegas- both cheesy chick-flicks, and both a little rascally at times. I prefered what happens in vegas over maid of honor
ah, "rascally"...that's my favorite Erica-ism :)
