24th of July Celebration in SJ

This is the first time that Maria and I have gone to the Pioneer Day Celebration in St. Johns. We both have gone many times as kids and it was fun to go as a family this year with Davis. I saw a lot of friends and many from Maria's family went up. It was a good time. Davis had many "firsts" this weekend - some were exciting and some nearly got me killed. Here are some of the high (and low) lights of the weekend.

Davis and I went up on Thursday. Maria had to work on Friday and could not go up. I went up to help my dad set up the camp trailer at Lyman Lake for Maria, Davis and I to use. My dad took the trailer out several days earlier but I went up earlier than Maria any way.

Davis and I got to SJ in time to go to the Ice Cream Social. Davis had fun meeting many new people and playing in the grass. It was fun for me to catch up with old friends and neighbors.

I took Davis over to Maria's parents house and he was crawling around with something in his hand. He started to put it into his mouth and when I told him not to he quickly popped it in and started to run from me. I caught him and pulled a centipede from his mouth.


Davis was chewing on this!


The fact that they just pulled a body from the lake that had been there for more than seven years did not stop us from having a great time. Maria was not very happy with me and my decision to take Davis on the inner tube with me - but he had a blast! We swam, played in the mud, and had a great time.

We had a great time and can't wait for next year's 24th of July Celebration.

Looks like you guys had a ball! Davis looks so cute. So I take it the centipede was dead when it went into his mouth or did he kill it before it had a chance to bite him. I just am glad nothing happened with that.

It was so much fun to spend time with your little family over the weekend. Judging by those pictures, Davis had a ball. I sure wish I'd been able to hold him a little closer. Oh, my aching nose. :( We went back out to the trailer after you left from the lake. I came in that night but the rest stayed the night. It was fun. :)
