We’ve been hanging out at the Parade of Homes in Highland and Alpine, Utah lately. We saw some pretty yards that I was coveting, if you want to know the truth!<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

Look at this Parade of Homes back yard. It is so lovely and green! They probably didn’t want the hassle of a pool, so they put in a splash pad instead! This one is in Highland, Utah. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The homes themselves in the Parade of Homes were so pretty. The front had such interesting architecture and rock facings. But the landscaping is where I really fell in love. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 The brick walkways leading up the this house were so pretty. I loved the circular brickwork with the flowers on either side.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 The backyards were almost over the top beautiful. This home had a pool, splashpad, fire ring, multiple covered patios with T.V.s and BBQ areas.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 I would love a pool with a slide, wouldn’t you? I’d hate cleaning it though.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 You can see this covered gazebo area with a splash pad, a big screen and BBQ.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 Just off the house was this fireplace seating area with the BBQ and view of the pool.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 Here is the other side, where you walk down to the swimming pool.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 This was my favorite Parade of Homes backyard area. There is a Basketball court, a putting green, a splash pad and pool and many other fun things. You’d never leave in the summer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Here you can see the walkways for exercising, the fire ring, the green back area, and a bit of the pool. There was so much to do here. I loved this yard. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Well, we decided to go spend some time in the outdoors too. So we went to the cabin and rode quads. Our landscaping is nothing to write home about, but we have a goal now. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
We sold some of our outdoor furniture and we are starting a fund to do something fun at the cabin. Not on the grand scale we’ve see in the pictures above, but something fun. Maybe a volleyball court and a jacuzzi and a circular driveway using crushed gravel. That is doable! <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
More junk we sold, in addition to 2 bikes, a dirtbike, a piano, and some tables and chairs. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Then we went and relaxed at the Journey and Steve Miller Band concert at Usana Amphitheater. It was fun. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Journey and Steve Miller Band Concerts were both awesome, as well as the Tower of Power band. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 My favorite was Journey. Here is the awesome guitarist doing his thang.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 We also spent Saturday night at Draper Days Festival and saw Little River Band. Here I am making friends with a baby crocodile (or was it an alligator?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
We’ve had some fun so far this summer, the hubs and I. You have to take a break from all that weeding you know! <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
