Atomic Days

Arco has it city celebration in the middle of July to celebrate atomic power used for peace. Arco is famous for being the first city to be fully powered by nuclear energy. They celebrate with a three day festival.

Dave chillin' at the parade. The girls waiting for more candy get thrown out.
Danica loved watching the dunking booth and made several new friends. I even let them have a turn throwing balls at the target. She thought it was the best thing ever.

What would a festival be without snow cones?

Volley ball tournements. Dave's team had a lot of fun,

and we had fun watching them.


And what would a small town celebration be without a rodeo. I will admit I had never been to a rodeo before. Well, I suppose I wasn't missing much. (sorry to those of you who really enjoy them, but I wasn't that facinated). Danica did do some mutton bustin' and managed to break her shoe. After her ride she got back up with her dad and sister and said, "Whitney, you DON'T want to do that!" Later when we asked her if she like it she got this "ARE YOU CRAZY" look on her face and said NO. She did like the stick race though and I think we may have a future track star on her hands.
