Fourth of July

We spent 4th of July at my parents house and started it off with a flag raising ceremony up in town. The ward choir sang and some community members spoke about freedom. Afterwards, the ward hosted a breakfast for the community. 



Then we went back to my parents and started swimming and playing. My parents added this twisty slide to the pool last year and Jeff finished building the steps up to it. The kids love it. 


Lindsey and Hailey enjoying their pop while the men have  vicious game of water basketball. 


My parents rented a bounce house and the kids had fun, but didn't play in it as much as we thought they would. Oh well, it was still fun for something different.


My Mom decorated the pickup and trailer so the kids could do their annual parade down the lane to the neighbors. They had tootsie rolls to throw out. They love doing this. Chelsea just ate her tootsie rolls, but at least she stayed put. 


Grandpa Bill led the group on a Bingo game complete with prizes for everyone. The kids have fun doing this and so do the adults. :)


Monty and Sonia along with their kids came for the day as well as my Dad's cousin Kent Walton and his wife Sherry.

My Mom got these shirts made for the guys because they always do the fireworks. Hilarious!


Beautiful Sunset!!!


Enjoying the fireworks show and the kids are having fun with sparklers. We are thankful for the country we live in and for all our freedoms!
