July 4th

HAPPY JULY 4th

We headed up to Deer Creek to go boating in the morning. When we got there it was windy and cold, but it didn't take too long before the sun started coming out from behind the clouds- even though the water stayed really choppy. We got a little picnic area in case everyone didn't want to be on the boat the whole time. Jaxon loves riding on the boat, going fast... but he does not like going on the tube - which is surprising since he is such a daredevil at everything else. (We took him on the tube at Lake Powell and we were going so slow the tube sank and i had to pry his hands off the tube to get him to jump off - he had a death grip on it and was going to go down with it!!!)

Millie loved playing in the water

After we were done boating we came home, showered and went to Kent's cousins house for a BBQ - we had planned to play baseball, but after all the good food, we just couldn't bring ourselves to get up and play. Then we headed over to watch the fireworks. We always have a good view - we watch them from Kent's Uncles work which is close enough to Thanksgiving point but far enough away we normally can miss most of the traffic jams.

Kent was showing the kids that he could ride the Rip stick!

We skipped out a little bit early, the kids were so tired from a long day and i still needed to get things ready for primary the next morning. It was a great day, i am thankful to live in such a great country and have such a great family!
