4th of July Trip - Week 2

Friday - Went to the annual 4th of July party at the Long's with many old Seattle friends and my aunt Kristin, Tanya and Mike. Watched a great fireworks show over the Eagle Ridge golf course in Bountiful.

Saturday - Drove to Provo for a swedish pancakes breakfast at grandma Goesch's. Stopped by the cemetery to see grandpa. Hung out at my mom's then up to Shauna's for a BBQ and cousin fireworks party in the driveway. Smores and fun. Tyler worked the scene with the cousins and the fireworks and let Luke and Ashley light their own for the first time!









Sunday - Ali and Blake blessed their little Paige. She looked beautiful in the dress my mom made for her out of the extra fabric from Ali's wedding dress removed during alterations (so cute!) Had a nice lunch with all our families. Headed down to stay the rest of the trip at my mom's house.





Monday - Ty got back to the grinder and hit the lap top all morning. My mom took the kids bowling at BYU and I went back up to Sandy for our girl's morning out for lunch, pedicures and manicures... Shauna, Heidi, Natalie, Katie, Ali and myself (and the two baby girls, Paige and Julia!). Took Tyler to the airport for his trip to New Jersey for the week.... no fun.





Tuesday - Went to the movies, I saw half of "Ice Age 3" and half of "Up" going back and forth between the divided parties... dinner at Brick Oven, loved every bite of my 'feast for one' and then over to Stacy's to let the kids play in the yard. I seriously CANNOT get over how late it is light here, we left the restaurant at quarter to nine which is unheard of at home! The sky was lit up by the sun and the kids were on the trampoline until 10pm. Craziness!

Wednesday - Shauna took the kids to Chuck E Cheese so that I could hit Tai Pan in peace. Found some cute stuff, as usual. We all went up the the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house, it was beautiful and a neat experience to take the kids through and teach them about what we do in the temple. Ali and I went to Hillstead's again to hang out with Shauna for the afternoon.




Thursday - Opted out of 7 peaks or the new park Cowabunga for a simpler pool experience at the American Fork pool. Had a good time and it was perfect for my age kids... Went to dinner with more cousins, Seraph, Bergen and Gordon and to the Hale Theater to see "Singing in the Rain" with Luke and Ashley. We all LOVED it so much that we bought tickets to go see "Wizard of Oz" on Saturday!

Friday - Met the troops for all-you-can-eat french toast at Kneaders...divine. Vegged out all day (everyone is exhausted) until Ty's flight got in at 9pm. Partied it up again with his bros - Blake and Ali leave tomorrow, trip is coming to an end.




Saturday - Went to see wizard of Oz at the Hale theater, packed up the car, and enjoyed one last beautiful, relaxing night in the Hillstead's backyard! Until next year...
