Celebrating the 4th of July

























The holiday fell on a Thursday this year which made for a really awkward weekend.
But we started the fun on Wednesday night, when everyone came over to the house to have a sleep over.  Kylie had Mike set up a tent outside where she planned on camping out with Preston.  Jordan and Lexi were set up in the guest bedroom and then the rest of us had our already designated beds.  We had a big dinner and barbeque and had Preston play outside in the tent, but he decided late at night that sleeping outside was not what he really wanted to do, so Kylie brought everything inside and set it up on the floor of the front room.  That's where they were to be found early the next morning. Mike and Madi had gone home to sleep in the comfort of their own beds but came over early the next morning.
The morning of the 4th was spent making a big pancake breakfast and salad for the activity we were going to.  We have some great friends in the ward that had invited us to go boating with them at the lake - so off we were in our bathing suits and ready for some fun.  The pictures tell it all.
A great and exhausting day was had by us all.
