Summer EVENTS!

Our annual trip to Palisade was great, as usual.  The Dains went to so much effort to make sure everyone had accomodations.  The kids and I (including Stone) decided to stay an extra 2 days.  Lots of sun and water.  Bo enjoyed his pontoon and Savannah enjoyed the sand and catching minnows. They had lot's of fun activities planned and it kept us all very busy.  Kelly Jacobson and his family joined us for a day and it was great to see them.

We had a lot of fun at the Jacobson Cabin with the entire Jacobson Family.  It's great to get everyone together all at the same time.  Our lives have become very busy and we all have different hobbies now.  It's nice to plan a weekend each summer where we can be together.  We had a family picture taken out in the meadow and I thought it turned out great.  I don't have a copy of it yet.  The kids got a long great.  The weather was great.  Wish we could do it more often.

Independence Day - great fun.  We are usually camping or out of town somewhere over this holiday weekend and it was great to be able to stay home and enjoy the local festivities.  We went to the balloon festival (bright and early) and then the parade.  We froze during the balloon launch - kinda strange for July in Utah but all should have been wearing jackets.  Shaun was a good sport about doing this instead of camping.  It was really pretty fun.  We had a BBQ that afternoon and had our own short Street of Fire that night.
