Independance Day Activities


This year we were in Ogden for the Fourth of July activities with the Markers. Friday night we celebrated Grandpa Marker's birthday with homemade pizza and homemade ice cream. Some of the kids talked some of the adults into going to Rolling Hills park to throw the frizbee and football around. Dennis had a pretty sore arm. That night when it got dark enough we lit off our $20 worth of fireworks combined with a other donated ones. We could also see a couple firwork shows going off in the valley below. I love fireworks!!!

We couldn't have asked for better weather on the fourth. It was overcast and cool in the morning for our hike to the park as well as all the activities that Kevin and Kaeli had lined up for us. It was all good fun!! Of course the highlight for me was the couple's three-legged race. I've been talking Dennis and I up pretty good since we are the champs at the Fayette 24th races for the past three years. Kevin and Kaeli nearly made me eat my words. Thank goodness Dennis stuck his chest out at the finish line for the photo finish! Granpa Marker's call let us keep our title. I have rub it a little more and point out the fact that Kevin and Kaeli are about 10 years younger than we are!

It was a good weekend!
