The Dusk of Summer

I got so depressed tonight when I walked into the Shopko and saw all their Fall decorations out. Come ON! It's 97 degrees outside! We've only had one real month of Summer, thanks to all the rain in June! LET ME HAVE MORE SUMMER!

Well, I DID get to go camping and barbecue up Big Cottonwood Canyon a little over a week ago for the 24th of July weekend, which was nice. My brother-in-law Jesse grilled hamburgers over the campfire. MMMMM, delish. We didn't have a spatula, so Jesse used his hatchet.


I always forget what it looks like up there; the majesty of the mountains never ceases to amaze me. I think it was my sister, Kate, that said that going up that canyon makes her feel like she's actually on vacation somewhere else, a million miles from home. It's nice that to "get away from it all" we really don't have to go any farther than our own backyard. Awesome.

I am making a vow here and now, not to go to shopko because of that. That's an outrage! it's STILL Summer! why do businesses want to steal my favorite season away?!
