July 24th is a State Holiday in these here parts. It is the day that the Mormon pioneers first entered the Salt Lake Valley in 1847. Steve managed to wrangle a few hours in between working all day and working all night so we could have a little family fun. We built a fire in our side yard and roasted hot dogs and then had 'smores. Once the sun went down we put on our own little fireworks display. It was a fun night!
I love this picture because you can see the moon coming up.
Steve was in the middle of working 100+ hour weeks. He worked all day and had to leave and work all night. He was in work mode and it was very hard for him to sit still. He sat still long enough to eat a hot dog and then the next thing I know he was up working on the yard. I had to force him to sit down.
The next day my Aunt Cynthia and her family came to have dinner with us. Cynthia and her husband, Asa were in town visiting my cousin Alisha and her family. It was good to see them again.

Zac was making Alisha's daughter Emma crack up.
Addy had band aids all over her. My mom asked her what happened to her head and she took the band aid off to show her. It looks pretty serious right? Yeah, there was nothing there.
All 3 of my girls went crazy over Alisha's baby, Ellie. Hope you had fun girls. That's the last baby you are going to see for a while! (Knock on wood)

You are way out in the country. That's so great. We watched a parade and played some games the stake set up for the kids. My kids were pretty disappointed we didn't buy fireworks.
