This year's Fourth of July was packed with family, family and more family. Of course we started the morning bright and early with our annual breakfast at Grandma Nettie's. Of course her gardens were beautiful, the food was d-licious, and lots of great friends came. The kids, and a few of the guys, ended the festivities with a major water fight. It is always worth the effort. I love kicking off this holiday this way every year.
After cleaning up and heading home for a little nap, Scott, Watson and I headed to Little Cottonwood Canyon for a mini hike. Chandler opted to hang out with friends...teenagers. We had a great time playing in the water. Watson could spend absolute hours throwing rocks, anywhere. We got to see some of his sweet Ninja moves and just enjoy being together.
After our afternoon activities we got together for a little fireworks show in our circle with the family. Chandler attempted Evel Knevel moves with jumping fire on his bike. I wish I could have captured that.... The kids had fun with plenty of pyrotechnics to light. We wandered down to Jordan High School to watch Sandy City Fireworks and then called it a night. It was a great way to celebrate the amazing freedoms in this amazing country. I am so grateful.
