So sometime in July I went to a presidency meeting and left Isaac home with Kory. I came home and went to the bathroom and flushed the toilet. All seemed fine, but later Kory went in to use the bathroom and he noticed something was wrong. Well we have a plunger, thanks to our experience when we first moved in :) So I started to plunge the toilet and one blue lego came out...then another, then another, then two yellows came out. Five legos, all the smaller size. So Kory and I had a good laugh about how Isaac had flushed all those legos down the toilet. We went on with our week. Later in the week we noticed again that the toilet wasn't flushing right, so I go after it again with no luck. So I called the manager of the property and he came and had to take apart the whole toilet....and he found the green one. The biggest of them all! It was stuck somewhere in the curve of the toilet and I couldn't get it by just plunging. We had a really long and good laugh about it.
I took a picture of my hand next to the green lego so you can see how big it is.
Look at that blond hair!
The 24th of July! I never really knew that the 24th of July was a holiday, or a reason to celebrate....but living here in Utah has shown me that the 24th is a lot like the 4th. Just a different reason to celebrate. It is the day that the saints entered the valley after a long and arduous journey across the midwest. After being in the valley 10 years the early saints went up Big Cottonwood Canyon to camp and commemorate this special day. The 24th of 2011 happened to fall on a Sunday. We decided to go up Big Cottonwood Canyon and attend church there and then make campfire dinners. Church up the canyon was very special that day. We sang "High on a Mountain Top" and we could look out the window to the tops of the mountains. A member of the 5th quorum of the 70 was there and he and his wife spoke. The chapel is beautiful up there and the ward was small but nice. Afterwards we went and found a site with a fire pit and a picnic table. We made s'mores early and often:) and we put chocolate and marshmallows in bananas and cooked them in a fire, oh they are so good!!
We went on a hike, about a mile long, to St. Mary's lake. It was hard, mostly because it was hot and I was pregnant, and Isaac walked a good portion of the way by himself!!
On the hike down Isaac fell asleep.
Helping with the fire.
Playing next to a small creek. He had so much fun.
And that ends July, it was a busy and fun month, I'm tired just thinking about it.
