Fourth of July weekend was a busy one. My roommate Kaylie and I went to Preston, Idaho with our friend Tim Allen. We had a campfire, played softball, floated a river, drove around in a party bus and had the regular Preston fun!

Started the day off by going to work, and it was not fun. I had 8 kids from the age of 4 to 14 and the older kids were the worst. I was by myself, so we couldn’t go outside. Somehow I managed to survive, and I was even willing to show up to work on Monday. 5:00 finally rolled around and Kaylie and Tim picked me up at work. We drove to Preston (about 2 hour drive) and met Jesse at his house. We started the night off with a few games of badminton and eventually made a campfire and had hotdogs. Oh, I forgot to mention that we had this fire surrounded by cows. That was interesting. Haha. It was way fun. We went home, did a few slam-dunkies, shot off some fireworks, and watched some TV. It was a long day to say the least.

The best day started with a ward 4th of July celebration. We went to this big picnic thing and had some really good food, and way too much of it. We ended up playing softball with some guys in Jesse’s ward. When I say guys, this includes ages 14 to 80. It was really fun! I didn’t make a total fool of myself and I got myself a pretty nice tan. After that we went to float the river…words couldn’t even describe the events that took place here. Only Kaylie and I know the true humor behind it. There were a few waterfall type areas, a few times where Kaylie couldn’t stay on the tube, and a lot of sun. After that we went to Logan for the night. We stopped at a few Napoleon Dynamite sights on the way. I was dead tired by this point from the sun, but that didn’t stop us from getting on a party bus. When I say party bus, I mean a school bus with couches and music driving around town. Party bus. It was a pretty good day.

We went to church, half a sleep, but there. After starting a few rumors in Jesse’s ward, we went back to Jesse’s house and had a really amazing lunch. Shortly after that we left for the burg. Later that night Leanna finally decided to grace us with her presence, and not for very long. Better that then nothing.

It was an eventful weekend, and I am so glad I went!
