The July 4th Weekend

 We kicked off the 3 day holiday weekend with an afternoon and evening at Deer Creek Reservoir with Jeff, Nicole, cousin Doug, his family, and a whole lot of Brazilians.  It was the best afternoon. The spot we found had tons of shade.  The afternoon was spent on paddle boards and on the wave runner. 

On July 4th, we awoke at 5:45am to see the balloons in Provo.  As we finally made it to the hospital, masses of people were heading toward us.  I saw a former student and her husband who told us that because of the light rain, the balloonist were packing up.  Shoot!  So we went back to the Yukon and went out to breakfast.  At 9:00am, we watched the parade with cousin Doug and his family.  On our way back to home our home, we made a stop to see the flag at Grove Creek.  We spent our afternoon napping and cooking for the BBQ and swimming at Yolanda and Dana's house.  Dave and a few kids ran over the Connie's later that night while I did homework/watched fireworks from my house.  It was a wonderful weekend spent with our family!
