When the east winds blew in the Johnstons to Utah, we knew we were in for a blast of fun! We met the Johnstons in Highland at Thai Drift for dinner on July 5th. We laughed and laughed, and spent our time just chatting and reminiscing on our good times in the past. The next day, Jen called me to see if I could help with her kids because she had an emergency. I was more than happy to help her so we all got more time to hang out with Steve. Dave and Steve had lunch and then Steve hung out at our house while I ran errands with Ella and Piper. While talking with Steve, he said he HAD to bring Riley to visit Taylor before they left for Tennessee (Riley had been at EFY the whole week).
On Friday morning, I hosted everyone for an Ebelskiver, eggs, and fruit breakfast. Yolanda started to cry when she saw Jen. It was so tender. They had been in Bear Lake when we went out to dinner a few night previous. We ate the yummiest food and then had a dance party in the basement. So fun!
After the Johnstons took off for home, we left with the DuJardins and Hults to spend a day on the lake at Deer Creek. It ended up to be one of our funnest days of the summer! The weather was gorgeous, the kids were so happy, and it just felt good to be on the water! Jaxson and Alyssa both got up on the wake board! The DuJardins want to take us out again....yay!
We enjoyed celebrating the fourth of July all weekend. We went on multiple bike rides, worked more on the deck, sat in the hot tub, celebrated cousin Doug's birthday with a BBQ and swimming, and ended the day by watching some great fireworks over on Connie's front yard. So fun to spend time as a family!
