Ute Stampede and 4th of July

So I have some fun pictures that I'm finally able to put on here but they're a little out of order. Every July there is a Rodeo in Nephi called the Ute Stampede. It's a pretty big rodeo and it seems like everyone from Utah County and Juab try to come. Well, Dave's family entered us in the stock parade so that we could get free tickets to the rodeo! I'm not a very skilled horse rider, especially when were not on a trail in the mountains. Being in a parade was kinda scary cuz I knew that my horse could hurt someone if I couldn't control her. Anyways, the parade turned out to be really fun and my horse didn't do anything crazy. Dave's 3 sisters and 1 brother rode with us and his cousin and her friend and then our friend Thomas Hales. Dave getting Royal ready for the parade. Dave and his ancient horse Royal. Me and Cherokee. The Robbins Rough Riders!

My mom and grandma Gerry came to Santaquin to visit me for the 4th of July. We went to the Freedom Festival in Provo and shopped all day. Dave had to work but he hung out with us for lunch and had a BBQ with us at our house and we lit fireworks on our driveway. Grandma Gerry is a trooper. She just had knee surgery a few months ago and then a couple weeks before she came to Santaquin she found out that she had a blood clot in that knee. She was really sick for a few weeks. I was so excited for her to come even though I know it was really hard for her. She is one of the sweetest ladies ever!!

And this is a random picture but this is my front porch and if you look really closely under the door on the left you can see a snake. I walked out of my front door and that thing was hanging out on my porch. He is probably about 4 1/2 to 5 feet long and I think he's a blow snake. I have seen it a few times so we decided to name him. His name is Patrick..I don't know why but it is.....
