It's Independence Day!

We had a great 4th of July weekend. We headed up to Richfield Thursday night so we could go golfing with Linds and Quinn Friday morning. We had a great time! We also went to the Dairy for some sandwiches and yummy fresh strawberry shakes. MMMMMMMM!!!! We played a few games of Settlers and then went up to Cove to see the elk. We saw a couple dozen, but not nearly as many as we usually do. It was a fun day, thanks mom for watching the kids all day. She even gave up Beatle Mania for them, what a devoted grandma!!! The next day we got ready and headed to the parade. Unfortunately Brit was already needing a nap and we

knew it could be a long day. He sat in our laps the whole parade and could have cared less about the candy. Then at the park we walked around trying to keep him distracted from the fact that he was tired by playing on the playground. We wanted him to race in the kids race and then do the fish grab. We we made it too the races and he did great! He won a 50 cent piece and when he got it kept putting it on his eye. Not sure why, but thats what he did! There was no way he was gonna

make it another hour for the fish grab. We got to the car and barely went a block and he was already out. We were hoping for a good long

nap because the day was far from over!

After the nap we went to the Utley's house for lunch and the water slide Patti rented. Brit wasnt a fan of it, but I was. I felt like a little kid. Melissa, Kenzie, Merica, and I had so much fun! We just went and went and went. I was worn out! Brit had fun watching, drinking lemonade, and swimming in the little pool.

What a fun day! I can't wait til next year!
