We tried to have the whole Stansbury experience: Golfing, riding in the parade & passing out candy, frisbees and doggie treats. Then lunch, the beer garden, and fireworks. But Boo was most excited for the frog jumping contest. This was his 3rd year he's been entered in it. He came frog hunting Fri night, caught 6 frogs to share. He came in 5th place then released all his frogs back into the lake with Nonie, Peter & Sammy.
While walking through the car show we saw our neighbors that live directly across the lake since we moved in 17 yrs ago. Mary and Monte. When we first moved in they hollered that we didn't live in the city anymore to turn off our motion lights, then he hollered over to turn off our bug zapper that we couldn't kill all the bigs anyway. So Tom being the kindest person in the world, invited them over for a beer and they said "We've been down that road, no thanks". Over the years we've said Hi across the lake and Tom has taken over tomatoes. When Joan died they sent a sympathy card and we were surprised. Then Mary's brother who lived with them the past year died and I sent them a sympathy card and I got back the nicest Thank You Card. So when we ran into them Sat at Stansbury Days, Mary hugged me and said I can't believe I've never been this close to you before. It's true, I had never seen her up close. Is that so sad to live that close and be so far away. So that was a good thing that happened at Stanbury Days, along with Boo being so happy and proud of his frogs.

Gavin really likes Nonie, Sammy & Peter. He asked me where they lived and I told him in SLC,
just a little past the airport. He replied "That's nice for when they go on vacation!". That kids always a thinking.
