Day 45 - 8/4

Today we left the Hideout for Logan, Utah.  But before we left completely, we still had time to ride the four-wheelers. Behind the Hideout, there is a homemade track with several bumps that four-wheelers can ride on. We had lots of fun zooming down the trail with our hair flying in the wind. We also had fun riding homemade trains. Each train car is made of a plastic water storage tank and a garden hose for lining. They can hook up together and hold many kids eager for a ride. When not on the four-wheelers, we jumped on the trampoline, playing in the tree house, and threw the Frisbee around. We were sad when it was time to go, but we'll always have next year to look forward to.

On the way out, we stopped by to get a couple raspberry shakes. They, of course, were extremely delectable. When we arrived in Logan, the Hirschis were holding the biannual reunion of the Hirschi family. This reunion was special because we also celebrated my great grandpa Hirschi's 100th birthday. His birthday is in October (same day as my birthday!), but since it is summer, a lot of people are celebrating it now. They gave out many prizes such as a princess bowl for the girls and sticky notes for me. They also had a station of about 20 jars of candy where kids could load up on it.

After the reunion, we stopped by Gossners to get some shelf milk and squeaky cheese. Gossners is famous for its dairy products and many flavors of milk. We got some banana, cookies and cream, strawberry, and even two kinds of chocolate milk. They also have samples of their cheese spread and cheese products. We enjoyed tasting everything from salsa cheese spread to Colby jack cheese. After Gossners, we stopped by the Utah State Aggie Ice Cream store to get some ice cream. Even though BYU is still better than Utah State, the ice cream was good. Right before going in, I put on one of my newly acquired BYU shirts. I also saw a couple other guys wearing BYU apparel as well. It was nice for Dad to come and see his alma mater University.
