Summer Celebrations Part 2

This summer marks one year since my dad's horrible accident. I can remember when Josh called to tell me my mom was heading to the ER to see my dad. It was so scary when I heard the details. The truck he was driving rolled at least 7 times. And he stayed in the car....he was covered in road rash, blood, and glass.
 I am so glad he was safe well relatively safe.

It has been a long road to recovery. Surgeries, wound clinics and crutches. I am so grateful he is alive.

After Moab I went with my mom up to Logan. She is taking a two week course at USU. So we (Alicia, Amy and I ) stayed over one night in Logan. Anyone that knows me can attest I love LOGAN! I think my love started when I was a child and my grandma and grandpa would take us to Logan on mini trips. We would go to Willow Park Zoo and Gossner's. Then when my Aunt Nancy went to college we would visit her. Then I moved to Logan for college.
So on this mini vaca we had some time to kill. My mom was in class from 8:30-4 each day. I have always wanted to tour the Bluebird Chocolate Factory so we did.

Alicia is standing by the chocolate conveyor belt...think I love Lucy. Bluebird hand dips all of their chocolates. YUMMY! Don't touch anything they will make fun of you and treat you like a child.
Scenario: Bluebird worker comments about the marble and how it can change temperatures so what do I do? I touch it.. I want to see and feel if it is cold. DON'T TOUCH THAT! Normally we warn people before the tour but it's mostly children. And then the worker laughs about it for about five minutes. I teach preschool hello...Sorry!
We had a great little trip. I was nostalgic at times...passing Merrill Hall, Oakridge, Toaster Chapel. I just love Logan.

Amy is very against photos
Logan has tons of random bulls all over town.
The zoo now charges....so this is all we saw.
Gossner ice cream and milk...YUM
Bluebird chicken and their rolls can't be beat.

We celebrated Becca's birthday at Spaghetti Factory and then we went to Bountiful's Farmer Market. Nothing beats the market. We got some cute earrings. Sorry for those who are my facebook friends cause you have seen some of these pictures before.

We celebrated Alicia too at this lunch. I thought it would be fun to put Clara on the light, she practically glows!

Clara might be the next Rapunzel.

Last night I had dinner with some friends from Gailey Park 1st Ward or the 16th ward. Heidi Hill was YW president and she needed a camp director so I said I would. I always loved girls camp minus the arguments and tent switching, Anyways I became good friends with Tiffany and Aly. I love these girls. Becca joined too because Heidi was her leader and she was an older Young Women with Aly and Tiff. They are so funny. So we all met at Parkstone at Station Park last night. It was so yummy and we had a hilarious time. Heidi kept saying it was a miracle that we actually got together.

Becca, Heidi,Aly, Me and Tiffany

Lily, Coreena and me....I totally forgot to take off my glasses.
Sadly Dev had to head back to work before we snapped a picture.

This afternoon Coreena organized a lunch with Devrie,Coreena and me. Coreena and Devrie were my roommates when I lived in Logan one summer. We had so much fun. Swimming, Boating, going to Sizzler and just doing crazy things. Coreena is pregnant with her second child and Lily is adorable. Devrie has three cute munchkins...still haven't met Remme but I know she is dressed stylish. Coreena's husband refers to us as the roommates that walked Sardine Canyon. Oh yes you heard that right, we walked all of Sardine Canyon. I think we measured it to be 14 miles. We counted honks and people that stopped to see if we were okay. I remember calling our friend Chad to see if he could drop us off at the canyon...he started taking us to Logan Canyon and we had to tell him Sardine. It was a Sunday evening I think it took four hours. We ran and walked it. Took a break by Mantua and Ashley came and visited us. We missed ward prayer that night but we were talked about anyways. Once we arrived in Brigham City we called a friend who lived in Willard and he thought we were crazy. Yes we were crazy but we had fun and we made a great memory! I know you will never look at Sardine Canyon the same.

Stay tuned for the Birthday Bash post.
