Fourth of July

Lewiston, Utah has a big celebration on the 4th that we have participated in for several years. We enjoy spending the day with John's family. Our day started bright and early as the sisters-in-law run a 5K and the four girls ran a 1 mile race. Grandma Kay was nice enough to house us. We all ran well. It was a great way to start our 4th of July!Robbie, Gwen, Care, Lindsay
Abbey, Kaitlyn, Rachel, and Gracie
Care and her running girls

Here is our mile runners ready to go.



Push it Abbey, you are almost there. Rachel is on your tail. Abbey finished in just over 10 minutes.

Great job Gracie! She beat her last year's time coming in at eleven minutes.

Anxious for the parade to start. They got their bags ready to load up on candy!

After the parade the boys played in a 3-on-3 basketball tournament. They did well, but we can't seem to ever take the championship. We enjoyed a picnic at Grandma's then headed back to Declo. After eating....AGAIN....we took out the boat for a quick run.

Abbey is getting good at the knee board... Awesome job!
I managed to get up on my ski and go for as long as my hands and muscles would let me. We went back to Alan and Norma's to roast marshmallows and watch the fireworks.
I love the Fourth of July!
