July Highlights

Hi guys I am going to this post every month just to let you know fun stuff I did that month. So, for the month of July My son was successful at his first Job and worked most Fridays, It was a volunteer job but I feel that even though he didn’t get paid he learned some good responsibility and sometimes that lesson is better than money, he got some good experience as well.

           We had fourth of July that was this month and we like every other red-blooded American celebrated our countries birth by attending the Parade in my city. I am very lucky I can walk up the street from my house and watch the parade. The only issue with that is we are pretty much blocked in until at least 1 pm. After the parade, we had a BBQ in the field with family and when it got dark we watched the fireworks for the freedom festival.

           In my state, we celebrate another holiday in July called Pioneer Day its July 24 and it is the day that the Mormon pioneers came to our area. We celebrated this by going to a pioneer festival and my kids were able to experience some of the things that the early settlers would have had to do, such as sawing wood, making bread, making soap. We were able to go through a pioneer village and the kids got to sit in a covered wagon and dress up like pioneers. They also had blacksmiths working and native Americans doing the hoop dance, this was a nice experience for my kids to learn about their ancestors since I had a great grandfather that was a little boy and came across with the pioneers. I am all about the learning and teaching moments to teach the kids about where they came from.  

          And last but not least I restarted my Blog. I did this because I wanted to share my thoughts and experiences with all of you readers so that maybe something I have been through could help someone else. Thanks for stopping by today and this is just a bonus post this month thanks again and tune in on Wed for Weigh in Wed
