Road Trip!

James and I traveled through 4 states yesterday - South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming, and Utah - to get home from our little weekend road trip. It was a great trip, we had a good time, and saw lots of interesting things. Mt. Rushmore and the Black Hills was the final destination on our trip, but we saw plenty of other stuff as well. I'll get around to posting some more of it after we finish the wash and go through the mail.

Viva La France!

Happy Bastille Day!

Viva eclaires!

Brief history of the French Revolution, Courtesy of Wikipedia:

The French Revolution (1789–1799) was a period of political and social upheaval and radical change in the history of France, during which the French governmental structure, previously an absolute monarchy with feudal privileges for the aristocracy and Catholic clergy, underwent radical change to forms based on Enlightenment principles of citizenship and inalienable rights.
These changes were accompanied by violent turmoil which included the trial and execution of the king, vast bloodshed and repression during the Reign of Terror, and warfare involving every other major European power. Subsequent events that can be traced to the Revolution include the Napoleonic Wars, two separate restorations of the monarchy, and two additional revolutions as modern France took shape.
In the following century, France would be governed at one point or another as a republic, constitutional monarchy, and two different empires.

Duggar Swimwear

I was flipping channels late the other night and watched part of an episode of the Duggars. This particular episode was about the whole family going to a home schooling conference in Texas.

As I was watching, I had a couple of questions:

1) What religion do the Duggars prescribe to?

2) Are the girls ever allowed to wear pants?

In seeking answers to these questions, I found the Duggars own website.

http://duggarfamily.com/

They don't say much about their religion other than being Conservative and Christian (probably Baptist according to Wikipedia), and they don't say anything about whether the girls are allowed to wear pants or not. But I did find this!!!

What in the world? The link said modest swimwear. I'm thinking like L.L. Bean is pretty modest swimwear, but I guess not because what I see is this:

Oh dear.

So not only was this weird, but it got worse. Near the link to this website is a link to the Eagle Forum. Aaaaaaahhhhh. Ok, I am done with the Duggars. No more. Crazy!!!! Coo-Coo!!!

4th of July

Our 4th of July started on Friday night. We went with the Binggeli's to Logan's Fireworks. We didn't take our camera, but we had a lot of fun. This is the second time James and I have been to USU's Romney Stadium for fireworks. They are choreographed to music and are lots of fun. We stopped for Aggie Ice Cream and had firework debris falling on us. Lots of fun!

On Saturday we went to Park City to a 4th of July rugby game to watch Alicia play. It wasn't a full blown game, just a 7-on-7 scrimmage, but it was fun to watch.

Afterwards we wandered around for a little bit and then headed to Grandma Huber's for her festivities.

Here are some pictures James took at Grandma's house.
