Happy Fourth of July

We've had a wonderful time celebrating Independence Day in beautiful Utah!

Nathan and Maren were amazed with the awesome fireworks and music by Carrie Underwood at this year's Stadium of Fire in Provo.  The McEwan family joined us for the enjoyable evening. 

We have really enjoyed all the family time, fireworks, parades and picnics.  Our celebrating began in the city of Fillmore,  Brian's hometown.  I regret not having any pictures of our visit there (non-functioning camera).  Thanks to Rita (Brian's mother) for all the delicious food, fun games, and accomodations.  It was so nice to visit with you all! 

Our family just finished another full day of Fourth of July festivites in Provo.  Here are a few pictures of the children enjoying themselves.

Caroline loves to water the flowers.

You'll find Nathan speeding around on this little red scooter or dipping his feet in the backyard pond.

Maren has enjoyed every minute with her cousins and an occasional ride on this four wheeler.

Cousin Brigham shares his favorite blocks with Caroline.

This little girl loves the wildlife mounted in Grandpa's garage.  Grandpa stands close by as she stands on top of the refrigerator to give the deer a hug.  She requests to do this several times a day.

Caroline enjoys riding in the wagon with her big brother and puppy.

We are grateful for the opportunity to visit and decorate Sarah's grave.

Everybody loves Grandpa!
