Preston.

this weekend I spent it up in Preston, Idaho. More like a day trip, since you can't do much in Preston. Now back story on why I was up in Preston. My grandparents (my dads parents) are both from Preston. They were high school sweetheart and when my grandpa meek came home from his mission, he married his sweetheart two weeks later. My aunt Diane wanted to check out Preston and I guess since this weekend was there parade, carnival and rodeo. It was the perfect time to go.

The day started out with tagging along with my dad and younger brother golfing at birch creek. I just hung out driving them around in the golf cart. It sounds pretty boring. But I actually like doing that. (Maybe I need to let that be known to the boys) the view of Logan/Smithfield was beautiful. Once we were done we checked into our hotel and I took a nap because I worked the previous night and was going on more than 12 hours of now sleep. Before we met up with the rest of the gang we drove by my grandparents houses and the neighborhood. My dad was so excited to show us the things he remembered from his childhood when he would visit his grandparents. Once we met up with the gang  we parked it on the parade route and enjoyed spending time with each other. The parade was pretty fun. I thought it was going to be lame. It reminded me of the park city parade before it became over crowded with spectators. I sure did get my sugar fix from the candy they threw at us. Once the parade was finished we headed over to the rodeo. I have my opinions about the rodeo. Yes it's fun. I had fun. I did not like it when baby calves were being thrown on there backs and there legs being tied to prevent them from moving. Yes I know that they aren't being harmed in any way but still. Once the rodeo was done, I decided to head all they way home with my older brother and his girlfriend versus staying the night in Logan. I wanted to sleep in my own bed. I was tired, emotional. Overall. It was good weekend. Don't know if I need to do that again. Ha.
