This weekend we headed off for a weekend with Al's family. Marysvale has a big celebration for the 24th of July. Thursday night we watched the fireworks.

Saturday morning the kids waved to the people in the tiny parade.

After the parade we went to the park for the races. Sadie did awesome. I think she came in 2nd. Sawyer was thirsty and all he wanted was to drink water...not race. I came in 2nd and even Alan ran although his hip wishes he hadn't.

After the races it was off the to school for family pictures. Three hours later...yes, it takes FOREVER...we went back to the house for lunch.

That evening we decided to have a cookout on the mountain. I sent my kids with their cousins in SUVs and Alan and I took the four-wheeler. It rained the whole way up and we were completely soaked when we got to the lake. I was glad the kids weren't with us. Also Friday evening, Alan's brothers Mike and Jordan and SIL Mandy were rear-ended on the highway. It totalled their vehicle, and they all had to go to the hospital, but other than some serious pain, bumps and bruises, they are alright, thank goodness. Then Saturday, we went to Alan's 10 year class reunion. All-in-all it was a great weekend, but I am glad to be home.
