June was a crazy month with all the running around and just running in general for my June goal. I'm excited for this July "Challenge" which is really no challenge at all. It's just a fun month of all things Cowboy.
I started off the month with a rodeo on the 4th of July. I had never been to a real rodeo before so it was a bucket list thing to do as well as an activity for Cowboy month. My friend Sarah went with me and we had a lovely time. There were a few times during those bull rides when I was sure someone was going to die and I'd never go to another rodeo again. But no one died and it was so much fun! The fireworks afterward were awesome as well and it was an overall great day.
The 4th also provided the annual Provo Freedom Run which I did alone this year. It was a good run and it's always fun to get out and run with so many people. In the afternoon there was a huge BBQ at the park by my house which was fun and that was followed by a nap. Then the above mentioned rodeo.
Provo has some great summer activities. One of them is the Provo Rooftop Concert Series the first Friday night of every month. This month I went with my roommate Stephanie and a friend from the ward, Lauren. We had a great time dancing and people watching. I just love the great girls I get to associate with!
Saturday morning I headed up to West Valley to go to breakfast with my friend Camille. Her birthday was on the 27th of June and for her birthday her husband gave her lunch dates with her friends every day of the week. I live a bit farther than is convenient for lunch, so we did breakfast on Saturday. I just love that girl and it was fun to see her and catch up. Happy Birthday Camille!
After breakfast with Camille I headed up to Logan. For my birthday back in February, my friends Denae and David gave me tickets to the Pickleville Playhouse in Bear Lake, The Hanging of Juanito Bandito. They got me two tickets so I could bring a friend and they came as well.
I asked my friend Deb to come with me. It worked out that she was going home that weekend for a wedding and would be in Logan, so I stopped and hung out with her and her family for a while and then we headed to Bear Lake. We had a delicious dinner and then went and played at a park for a while. We grabbed some "famous" raspberry milkshakes real quick before heading to the play. The play itself was worth the trip. The company, dinner, and general lounging was awesome, but the play was FANTASTIC!

Of course I had to get my picture taken with cowboy, Sheriff Jackson. |
We just loved it! We laughed so hard, and as Deb and I were driving back to Logan, we decided we would definitely see it again. It was just SO good. I recommend it to EVERYONE! You may have to wait til next year, but you should definitely check out Pickleville Playhouse. They do a fantastic job. Best birthday present EVER!

And the night would not have been complete without a picture with Juanito Bandito! |
