4th of July Weekend


LOTS of fun in a short amount of time!!

Friday evening we went to see "BUCK" (a documentary horse film that was excellent!) with many of the gang, and then had a light dinner at Wendy's just behind the theater...





Saturday morning we went up to Clinton to see my mom and dad; Millie and I colored our hair while we were there! (I'm crossing my fingers...in case you're wondering!)



We met up with Brandon and had lunch at Bajio, then we went with him to see their new house.  Talk about a perfect location and a great house!  VERY NICE!!  We are so happy and excited for Brandon, Tannya and Nikki!!  (Wish we would have thought to take some pictures!!)


Late Saturday afternoon we made it to Mapleton for a barbecue with both sets of Bartons.  We ate, visited, played some games, sat around the firepit outside and shared stories and finally went to bed.



Went to church together at Dan's and Janet's ward; had a nice Fast Sunday dinner afterwards.



Monday morning we went bright and early to the Freedom Festival parade in Provo.  The balloon launch didn't happen because of some weird wind patterns.  But the parade was fun and we enjoyed being together.




Too bad Dallin had to work so he couldn't come along...but he had fun feeding the animals (horses, chickens and dog!) and hanging out with his friends!
(This turkey buzzard was on a neighbor's rooftop when we pulled up.  VERY appropriate!)
