The Sky Flickers, Days Go By So Fast

It's been quite an eventful week! Lagoon Monday, band-joining-togetherness on Tuesday, and some more band on Wednesday...

Thursday, color guard had a sleepover at Olivia's house, and Dria almost died (and made us die laughing) from the fumes when we dyed her hair, and I so wish I had gotten a picture of her when she looked like an Oompa Loompa. : ) It was an awesome time. We killed Nazi zombies (or in my case, the Nazi zombies killed me), colored in coloring books with crayons (yea for dinosaur puppies!), and got in some pretty interesting discussions.

Friday was the Bountiful Handcart Parade, and I think that was our best parade of the season. The crowd was awesome, I laughed getting a drink of water and kids gave me weird looks, color guard was really clean, and I think we sounded great! It was so much fun. : ) We should always have parades at night, so that Kenna can do shadow puppets all the time.

Yesterday was the Days of '47 parade, and that was alright, definitely a good parade. I'm completely going to miss summer band season this year (I liked summer this year even better than summer last year... AMAZING!) but I am looking forward to a FANTASTIC fall season! ^_^

Yesterday I also went up to Washington Lake, and I got to see some people from SVUUS that I hadn't seen since our last camping trip, in April I think, so it was really nice. : ) I love how they always get together and play "Wagon Wheel", it's my favorite song to hear.

"Rock me, mama, like a wagon wheel.
Rock me, mama, any way you feel.
Ooooooooh, mama, rock me.
Rock me, mama, like the wind and the rain.
Rock me, mama, like a southbound train.
Ooooooooh, mama, rock me..."

I always love to see how much life there is there! Except mosquitoes. Parasites are the only things I can kill on purpose without feeling like a terrible person.

Washington Lake is absolutely beautiful at sunset! Pictures do it no justice! The moon was so bright last night that even all the way out there, I could only see as many stars as I could at home!

I hope everyone from band has a nice break the next week! (Eva gave us permission to have soda! OMJC!) And may everyone else still just continue to have a safe, fun, happy, thoughtful, interesting summer!
