Syracuse Heritage Days

On Friday, I went to the Carnival in Syracuse last night.  On the stage, they were having a magic show.  I bought Mom some kettle corn and boba drink.  They had vendor booths, inflatable slides, and food trucks.  On Saturday, I watched the fireworks.

Big Fish: The Musical

 I went and saw the musical, Big Fish, based on the 2003 movie, at the Syracuse Arts Academy Ampitheatre tonight.

Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all the dads in my life! I remember in my ward, growing up, the moms would receive flowers or candy on Mother's Day and the dads would receive a pamphlet on how to be a better dad on Father's Day.

Daisy’s Bush

I was looking for her everywhere.  Finally I found her under this bush.  

 

Syracuse Temple Groundbreaking

We got to watch the groundbreaking for the Syracuse Utah Temple.  It's amazing that temple is being built so close to us.  When i was growing up, we only had the Ogden and Salt Lake Temples around us.  Now we have Bounitful, Layton, and Syracuse.  

 

Salt Lake City

We went to Salt Lake for the first time since last summer.  It's pretty weird to see Temple Square all under construction and the pillars missing.  We had dinner at Old Spaghetti Factory at Trolley Square.
