The Heat, Debates, and Yogurt

It's starting to warm up and the summer craziness is beginning.

St George City purchased new slides
that are attached to the parking garage
at the new city hall.
News reports claim that they are made of metal that won't heat up.
We had to check out these $400,000 slides.
SORRY!! 
They lied they do heat up and will burn your butt.

Utah 3rd District Debate
WCSP Group attended and I brought Ryder along.
Liz was able to introduce him to Celeste Malloy.
We all voted that she won hands down.

My sleep score of 100%
I have never been able to reach a perfect score.
I can say it felt great and I hope to repeat it soon.

We found the best yogurt ever!!
Made with fresh raw milk and best ingredients ever.
Ryder has ate everything I have brought home.
He asked him to buy the large size.

64 ounces!!
Vanilla Bean Maple
Yummy, but holy cow that is a large bottle.
Thanks Milch Haus!


The craziness is worth it when you have great food and friends. How many adventures can we have this summer? Maybe as many as possible.
