July 4th Fun
Our fun neighbors, Steve and Tammy, invited all of the neighbors to a July 4th breakfast! We had tons of yummy food and got to visit with our fun neighbors that for some reason we don't spend much time with. What a great idea! I hope we make this an annual tradition!
Here we are modeling our shirts. The plan was to have them all be red, white, and blue for the 4th of July, however, the blue dye was weak after doing so many shirts, so several of us got these pretty purple shirts! It was a really fun project - even if it did take us all day to get them done!
After the fun breakfast, we packed up all our gear, picked up dad, and headed to Rox's house for a family day. The kids had a great time playing in the water, sliding on the Slippin' slide, and wading in the pool. Perfect activities for the 98 degree weather! Aimee and JoCee are the perfect babysitters - we hardly even saw the kids all day long!
All of the old folks adults sat on the deck in the shade. We talked and laughed while we decorated our t-shirts, getting them ready to tie-dye. Shelley and Tom Walker joined us for the fun, their two girls had a great time hanging around with Aimee, decorating their shirts, and decorating flip-flops.
Kim spend the entire day cooking a fantastic dutch oven dinner for us. He is such a great guy! He worked graveyard the night before and stayed awake to provide us with a yummy dinner.
Because of the dry weather and all of the wildfires, personal fireworks were banned, and even some cities decided not to do fireworks. North Ogden's fireworks were moved to a new location that wouldn't be a fire risk. We decided that we needed to get Kim home to sleep, so we decided to forgo the fireworks this year.
I'm so very, very grateful to have such wonderful friends and family that I enjoy spending time with!
