24th of July

We had a great 24th of July this year!!  (For those readers who aren't familiar with the 24th of July - it's a state holiday in Utah to celebrate the arrival of the pioneers to the Salt Lake Valley). 

Becky & her kids came over in the afternoon and we filled up water balloons for them and let them jump on the trampoline with them and then squirt the hose on each other.   It was a hot day, so it was perfect!

We had everyone over for dinner (Pete, Rich, Misty & Sopia, the Mortensen's, the Cowden's, the Graf's & Tom).   We BBQ'd and ate and then played a game of "Psychiatrist."    Then, we sat outside on our front lawn and did our own little firework show.  

Our kids are old enough now to want to light all the fireworks, so with Jon's supervision, they did!

Thank you everyone for a fun holiday!!

That was so fun being together the whole day. I am going to miss that A LOT. You are the best host there ever was too.
