WARNING - This is My Longest Post Ever!
During the last week of school Herriman Elementary had a Dance Festival. There was an accident right before it began. The school kids were still in the school with the parents waiting out on the field. We all had to move to make room for a life-flight helicopter to land and pick up a 4 year old little boy who'd been hit by an SUV. A brave woman got up on her folding chair and asked for a moment of silence in honor of the boy and his family and all involved and then she offered a prayer. It got us all choked up and really feeling concerned for his welfare as well as connected to those around us. You can see the news story/clip here.
After the helicopter left the kids were brought out and the Dance Festival continued.
C's class (not the teacher) voted on awards for each student. She was voted "Most Beautiful Girl" - - wow...now I have to make sure she knows that what is on the inside is much more important!
Her friend Brooklyn received "Best Artist."
With 'C' done with 1st grade and only 3 weeks to enjoy her Summer, we're running all over fitting in the summer fun at a frenzied pace.
We've enjoyed the Fort Herriman Days with their Parade & Carnival...
We enjoyed a fabulous visit from our Bracken-side. We went to the Zoo with G-ma & G-pa Bracken, The Barbers, and The Hathaways; then celebrated cousin Lily Bracken's 5th B-day!
Then for the 4th of July we enjoyed a neighbor BBQ and went to see Murray's Awesome Fireworks.
And don't forget Playgroup at the beautiful new Herriman City Rec. Ctr.!
We have until July 25th to soak in the sunshine before 2nd Grade begins again.
Hmmm..what else can we do...

So to answer your question, You could go hiking, bike riding, float down the river on tubs, go fishing, play tennis, have a water fight, put up a tent and sleep out, watch movies out side at night, go to another museum or aquarium, go see a play or dance show, play night games!!
