24th of July Weekend AKA: Pioneer Day

Our 24th of July weekend started out at the Crystal Springs mineral baths with grandma Lily and Molly and Reuben. Meira liked the warm pool while holding a cold water hose.Meira got to play with Nana and Papa's hose too. Nana gave Christmas to Meira in July this year. After an afternoon with Porter at "Dark Knight," for Porter's 20th time, I think, Nana went on a shopping spree for Meira. One of the cute things she found was an Elmo sprinkling pad that Meira loved. Thanks to aunt Les Meira has a toy dishes set to play with at Nana and Papa's house. Meira's imagination is coming alive. She was cooking things up all weekend and feeding whomever would open their mouths and say, "mmmmm, that's so good." She would take a bite and say,"mmmm" as well.One of our daddy's and Meira's favorite times is story time. Every night Meira gets 3 stories before bed.

We have discovered a favorite children's author named, Sandra Boynton. Mark really likes them and read, "Your Personal Penguin," for the first time. He thought is was hilarious. Meira looks like she's saying, "Okay dad, it wasn't that funny."

Fireworks...one at a time in the Tremonton show.Of course a tour of the animals at grandma Lily's house. Meira is an animal lover just like her mommy. That makes me happy.
