The 24th of July is pioneer day. The anniversary of the day that Brigham Young and the pioneers entered the Salt Lake Valley, in 1847 and declared it the place to build. So it's a state holiday. I had a rough start on the morning of the 23rd because I felt so sick in the morning. A migraine on top of the relentless creature that lives in my skull.
We went tubing down the river and it was SOOOOO fun but traumatic. My daughter fell off of her tube in the worst part of the rapids and I went into hysterics, everyone was telling me that she was okay but I need to hear it from her and it took about 10 minutes to catch up . She was okay but it's always been my worst nightmare.
I have to say the best part of the day was hanging out with my sister. I kept getting severely injured, hitting branches and rocks and there could be piranhas because there was something in my shorts biting me. But the worst part was that I couldn't deal with the obstacales because my sister kept squawking and I was laughing so hard that I couldn't contain myself. If I could, I'd push her tube to send her in the right direction until I discovered that she was shoving ME to save herself.. yeah.. It was so much fun and I haven't laughed that hard in years. I would say I laughed so hard that I peed my pants, but what happens in the river, stays in the river :P
I'll post pictures of my sunburn as soon as I can. It's so gross. The wprst i've ever had.
