Summer is in full swing. We've spent lots of time in the backyard in our wading pool, sprinklers, and playing with chalk art. To break up the days we've visited different parks (including the water play area at Liberty Park I blogged about), activities at the library, and the Alice Through the Looking Glass dance performance at the Sandy Amphitheater. Now I'm on to discovering things to do during July. The great thing about July are all the free festivals, parades, and firework shows. On my list I'm including the 4th of July information from Sandy City, but pretty much every city has stuff going on this weekend.
