We had a few extra days around the 4th of July to spare, and since this is very rare, we jumped on the opportunity to go to Sacramento to see Phil's Aunt and Uncle and relax. It was a lot of fun, but the 4th was different for us small town folk.
We mainly stayed at Aunt Evie's house and played cards. We did go to a place called FairyTale Town where all the exhibits are based on fairytales and nursery rhymes. The kids thought it was great. We also went to the Sacramento Zoo. We got to see some animals that we don't see here in Utah, but I must say, Hogle Zoo is a GREAT zoo! I feel blessed to live so close. We also went to the Sacramento Train Museum. The kids thought this was cool. They liked going up inside of them and in the pictures you'll see this one car they called the Church car because it was lined like pews. It was their favorite. We also got to ride on an old locomotive. This was fun, since you rarely get to go on a train anymore. Aunt Evie's got a pool so we spent some time swimming in it. Jaycee is a water bug and not easily persuaded to get out. Phil developed a wonderful sunburn, but wouldn't let us take a picture. The sad thing was, I COATED him in sunscreen. Go figure! For the 4th, we didn't do anything except go watch fireworks that night. I'm so use to little hometown of Tooele with the parade and the festivals at the park. I missed it greatly. I went shopping during the day, and found some great deals, but I was wishing I was home with the kids at the park working the fish bowl booth. The fireworks were great and Ky loved them. We had a lot of time to kill so we played a mini Olympics with Amanda, Chuck (her boyfriend), and us. It was funny and we got some great laughs. The trip was much needed and I'm so glad we went. Evie is moving to St. George this fall, so that was probably our last trip :( I also want to put in writing that Ev and I KILLED Phil and Kidd in a game of Progressive Rummy. We may never win again, so I want it documented and I want it said that Kidd told me all about sweet revenge. I LOVE IT! Thanks so much Ev and Kidd for letting us stay with you. We had a great time.

Glad to hear you KILLED the men. They are usually doing the killing! Sounds like you guys had a great trip!
Good thing you got this trip in before cross country started. You were so busy while I was there. I think you are CRAZY!!! But, it's always fun to be involved with the things you love. Good luck!!!
Who is this Kidd fellow? Is that just a nickname or should I have some relation? :) Sounds like you had fun!
