A Busy Labor day























Well, it's been almost a week late but here is our Labor Day Report!

We had a packed weekend. We went to Swiss Days in Midway. It was fun to go on Friday because it wasn't as crowded. But, still didn't get any pictures because our hands were full. We stayed at the Zermatt hotel. It was actually really nice ... until we wanted to go to sleep. Phillip didn't settle down and go to bed until midnight. Lily was up at 1:00AM who then woke up Phillip, who then woke up Lily. Note to self ... next time we stay at a hotel we need to leave the kids, or get geared up for a night without sleep :-)

On Saturday we tried to avoid the crowds of Swiss Days we went to Soldier Hallow to see the annual sheep dog herding competition. They also had SplashDogs there! It was a really random, yet surprisingly entertaining event. Here is a clip of someone successfully herding their sheep for a grand total score of 74! (You have 13 minutes to get the sheep through a series of gates, separate the sheep then get them into the pin).

Later in the day we got to go to the first BYU football game with both kids. As you can see Lily was quite the cheerleader. Phillip had his oversized football jersey and wanted to stand in Becca's family picture. It was REALLY hot at first. Drinking fountain line was quite the site! I decided to spend two dollars on a bottled water instead of waiting in line. Once the clouds started to cover it was a really fun game.

Hey Cathy--I didn't know you were at the BYU game. John, Jake and I were there also and we spent 6 dollars on 3 waters, 9 dollars on 3 lemon ices and more money on other snacks when Jake and I wanted to get out of the sun. We were at the top of the East end zone. We took our family to sheepherding competition a few years ago and we enjoyed it also. I just wish I could train our border collie to herd our children home each night. The BYU pictures are cute.

Lily looks so cute in her BYU cheerleading outfit! Unfortunately, we missed the first game, but we'll be there tomorrow for the UCLA game.

Cathy,
I love Lily's cheer outfit! Is that what she's gonna be for halloween?
