Happy Birthday Dale & Linda
Dale & I spent the entire weekend of the 24th celebrating our birthdays! Thursday we had family come watch the Handcart Days fireworks with us (Bountiful City must spend half their budget on the fireworks every year-they were fantastic as usual). We had homemade chocolate ice cream and our favorite birthday cake-Cherry Chocolate Bundt Cake. Friday, we went to Park City and stayed at the Marriott Mountainside. We went to dinner at the Snake Creek Grill in Heber. Their black bottom banana cream pie is one of the best desserts ever! Saturday we rode the Alpine Coaster (what an adventure-I didn't brake once!) On the way home we stopped at the Outlet Stores...I can't pass by without at least stopping to see what good deals I can find! That night we headed to Spring Mobile Ballpark (formerly Franklin Covey Field, formerly Derks Field) to watch the Bees (formerly the Buzz, formerly the Stingers, formerly the Bees) game. They lost to the Portland Beavers, but it was a beautiful night at the ballpark and the peanuts were delicious!
I'm grateful to have such a great guy to share my birthday with...
American Idol Tour Concert
July 14th I drug Dale to the American Idol Tour concert at the E-Center. He thought we would be the oldest people there, but we weren't!! A lady sitting in front of us was at least 80! I'm sure if she wasn't already hard of hearing, she was after the concert...It was SO loud. Darren & Karlie came with us and had a camera. The photos didn't turn out very well, but here are a few. My favorite song was Kris Allen's Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone. Adam Lambert did an amazing job singing Mad World, and I also really liked the performances of Matt Giraud & Danny Gokey. All the contestants sounded fantastic-maybe they've been taking singing lessons...
Thanks for being a good sport, Dale!!
