July 4th Celebration

This year we split time with both sides of the family. We started off with breakfast at the Colliers house with everyone there. Aunts, Uncles, siblings, and cousins we havnt seen in forever. We had the french toast with the best home made bread, and fruit and the best company. After breakfast people went swimming in the pool. Evy was one of the first ones in and Ethan went in as soon as Gammie was in the pool. After that we left and headed to City Creek Center Mall to meet my parents. We roamed around the mall with the family and went into some fun stores and enjoyed the time with family. We let the kids run in the water and then took them to play in the kid land they have there. After that we went to my Uncle Clints house to visit my parents in their motor home. We chatted and enjoyed the time until it was time for dinner at Aunt Debbies house. We walked down there and had a BBQ and played volleyball and had water fight and then had root beer floats and did fireworks. They were amazing this year! The kids loved every minute and ended up passing out 2 minutes after we got them in the car that night. It was a great day full of family and fun. I am so blessed to be a part of such wonderful families!
