Foam Day July 2017

We love Foam Day.  It's just so unique.  It feels like swimming in a cloud. Warm and cold, silky and smooth.  Just don't get it in your eyes. This is something put on by the city.  It started out as a way to use up the expired foam that's used to put out fires.  Its no long good for putting out fires but it is fun to play in.  The firemen shoot the foam until its 2-3 feet tall on a large grassy field.  They have 2 sections.  A smaller not as deep section for little's and a no holds for the big people.  I swear the firemen love to shoot everyone with the foam  Especially the grown ups.  Its important to wear eye protection because it does sting if it gets in your eyes.
They've turned it into an annual event pending on the water storage for the year.  If we have had very little water they don't hold foam day.  So we all pray for rain and snow just for this day.  There are food trucks and blow up bouncy houses and slides.  They also have games and now some vendors.  Its really turning into a festival.







Check out the smiles.  You think they're having fun?

Ben wasn't amused. 


Maria liked it a little more.







Jane enjoyed herself.

Foam Day July 2016




Foam day. This doesn't happen every year. Being a desert state when we have water shortages this wonderful one of a kind event doesn't happen. So when we have a decent water year we are all pumped to play in the suds. 
This year was a good year. We had a blast playing in the silkey slime. On a funny note. We have a big school rivalry here between BYU and University of Utah. While I was watching all the kids and kids st heart playing. I happen to notice a person in a Utah hat standing idly by just watching all the fun with a sour look on their face while within that same line of site I saw a person decked out in BYU garb having the time of their life. 
It just goes to show you which type of people know how to have some good clean fun.
