Every summer, the different cities in Utah take turns having a week long celebration/festival. Each does their own thing and we pick and choose the events we wish to participate in. Sometimes we will hit up the carnival rides from different cities. Our city, does not do a carnival. Instead, they do a rodeo. People around here LOVE the rodeo. We have lived here for 10+ years and we have still not been to the rodeo. It is not our thing. However, this year, Alyssa participated in the doubles tennis tournament. She found a teammate to enter it with her(as we encouraged her to do). I would have played with her if she could not find anyone from her team, but I'm glad she was able to find someone else. They did a round robin to determine skill levels in the morning and then they were divided into 3 tiers. They ended up in the bottom tier, but they did end up making it to the semifinals, which made them happy.
We went to the carnival in American Fork as part of their city celebration. Last time I took the kids, a few years ago, the lines were so long that we didn't have enough time to ride very many rides. I had to buy the tickets ahead of time to get the best deal and after we got there, I was wishing I had bought twice as many tickets. There were no lines and the kids had burned through my ticket supply in less than an hour. And they still wanted to ride more. And, of course, they just wanted to ride all of the big, expensive rides.
We are enjoying summer mostly from home, since we went on our big trip right at the beginning of summer.
