Favorite Campfire Song...

We would sing this campfire song every year on the weekend of the 4th of July when we were up camping at Indian Creek with the Olsen/Peacock/Ware family. Everytime I think of this song, I think of Uncle Jim. :) When I took the pictures of Potter's Pond, it makes me just LOVE the mountains and where I grew up!

I love the mountains.
I love the rolling hills.
I love the flowers.
I love the daffodils.
I love the fireside.
When all the lights are low



Boom dee ah dah. Boom dee ah dah.
Boom dee ah dah. Boom dee ah dah.

Boom dee ah dah. Boom dee ah dah.
Boom dee ah dah. Boom dee ah dah.
.


I love the flowers.
I love the daffodils.
I love the mountains.
I love the rolling hills.
I love the fireside.
When all the lights are low.


Boom dee ah dah. Boom dee ah dah.
Boom dee ah dah. Boom dee ah dah.

Boom dee ah dah. Boom dee ah dah.
Boom dee ah dah. Boom dee ah dah.



We walk together.
Hike by the quiet stream.
Watch for the sunrise.
Breathing the air so clean.
When we're together,
Sharing our fondest dreams


Boom dee ah dah. Boom dee ah dah.
Boom dee ah dah. Boom dee ah dah.

Boom dee ah dah. Boom dee ah dah.
Boom dee ah dah. Boom dee ah dah.

Great month!

I had a great month of July! Got to spend quality time with all my nieces and nephews. Nancy and Dallas invited me to be with them the 4th of July, well the 3rd of July. We went to the Murray Parade. That afternoon I went down to their house and played with Tyler. We had so much fun. Tyler laughed and had so much fun watching me and Nancy bump the volleyball to each other. He laughed so hard that he fell over. That night, me, Nancy, Dallas and Dallas' parents watched the fireworks being shot off from Thanksgiving Pointe. It wasn't the best view from their front lawn, but it was alright.


The next weekend, I went down to Mom and Dads and spent the weekend with Max and Morgan. We had so much fun. We went fishing at Potter's Pond and went swimming down at the pool. Morgan was a good sport about fishing, Max pretty much just sat in the chair and wanted food. :) We were lucky and caught 6 fish! Barrett and Chantel picked up the kids at Murray Park. We had a nice lunch with all the cousins (little kids) together. Grandma and Grandpa took all the kids to the slide and enjoyed having all the kids together.


July 20, I went to Park City for our Sales Convention at work. We were able to meet our Account Executives (AE) for our area that we work with. The area I work with is the Capital area, so my AE's are all from Philadelphia, Washington DC, New Jersey... It was good to finally meet them. We did a team building event at The Canyons Resort where we had to find "flags". Then we had a nice dinner and got to spend time up there before we had to head back.

This is my Capital team with our Vice President Todd Ogaard and one of our AE's Jonathan Katchmore

The weekend of the 24th, I went down to Orangeville. I had the 23rd off, so I took off that morning and headed on down. Got down to OV and went swimming with the kids. Tyler is such a hoot in the pool. That night they had the childrens parade and the famous LAMB FRY!! The morning of the 24th, dynamite started bright and early by Danny. Tammy headed off to the 5K run. We went to the parade and then to the events at the park. After spending time at the park, we went up to the mountains but Nancy and Dallas already went up to Potter's fishing. We all headed up. We caught 10 fish in 2 hours! Lexi is a good caster, she's going to be Grandpa's fishing buddy! After we were done fishing, we had our tin foil dinner at the camp site, roasted a few marshmellows then went home. It was a good 24th of July.



It was a great July! I am an Orangeville girl at heart! It will always be home!
