Since Independence Weekend, there have been a few things going on, but don't really deserve their own post or have already been posted (like our first ever FHE :)).
First up, the Payson Scottish Festival. We go every year. I've gone for as long as I can remember, even before I played bagpipes. For awhile, my cousin Angie played in the high school pipe band. I think she is the reason I wanted to play bagpipes :)
I didn't go up to Thanksgiving Point this year, but since Payson is free and it ends up being a mini reunion of sorts with friends and family, we went. I got the last parking spot in the church lot when I got there, so that was pretty sweet. Henlie and I walked down to Taco Time for some lunch and then headed over to the band field. I didn't even really look through booths this year. They're all the same :p I missed one of Matt's performances and only half paid attention to the one I did watch haha. But it was fun hanging out with some of my family and seeing old friends. I was sad we didn't get to see Andrew. He was supposed to come out to judge, but his mother died. Not saying we should have seen him! Obvs. Luckily for the games, BJ was available and willing to step in to judge. I didn't even really take any pictures, except a few of Henlie and her Daddy.
We went for a walk in the stroller and she took a nice nap :)
Next up was Grandpa Erdmann's birthday. My dad turned 63 on July 17th. Since we don't live nearby, we decided to make Grandpa a birthday card. Henlie worked on it for a couple of days. I didn't take a picture of the card :/ She also opted to color the envelope :) On July 15th, we headed to the post office to mail Grandpa's card. It got there on his birthday. Win.
