Our 4th of July Weekend

Friday afternoon we took Bennett to Grandma and Grandpa Great's pool, then that evening Spencer and Rachel stopped on their way to St George, Dave Catie and Bennett, our Neighbor Joe, Nery and I had a wonderful dinner to get the holiday started. Saturday we went to my Sister Angie and her family's home for another Bar B Q with Grandma and Grandpa and Bennett spent the evening with us, he had a great time with cousins. Sunday my parents had Nery and I for a quiet dinner at their home and Monday Nery and I enjoyed a nice motorcycle ride up Weber Canyon over the Trapper Loop to Eden. It was a wonderful weekend and holiday. We are so blessed to live in this free land where we enjoy so many blessings. Here are some pictures:


Bennett met this beautiful young lady and quickly learned a valuable life lesson, they both fell in love with this fish shaped floating device and had a short discussion on who it should belong to.


Trying to be a gentleman he took a more diplomatic direction and offered her a flip flop in exchange for the Floaty.












At first she was not interested but then decided she wanted both, Bennett just scratched his head and wondered how this happened.

That evening at Lola's house a sprinkler was all he needed and it was good to be the center of attention again


How many men does it take to blow up a wading pool?


Evidently three and I wish they would hurry


Finally now let's get some water in this bad boy!!!


My dad my hero


Don't worry, I'll take care of filling it


Better watch your step I swing a mean hose

Time out for a cool drink


Monday the 4th we went to the Clawsons' for a Bar B Q and Bennett got to meet and play with his cousins this is Sam, of course the first thing he went for was a ball.

Nery and I took a Motorcycle ride Monday morning and it was beautiful. We didn't take a lot of pictures but we stopped at the General Store for lunch, they were closed but the gift shop was opened so we walked around their garden and took a few pictures.
