Robin, Andrew and girls arrived from their week at Bear Lake just before noon on Friday. We watched the girls while Robin and Andrew joined Jill's and part of Kim's family at the movie theater to see 'Eclipse.' We had a fried chicken dinner with homemade Oreo ice cream. (Note to self: next time, stockpile a bigger supply of ice to prevent an emergency run to the store...thanks Andrew!) The Logan fireworks were on Friday night. We stayed home with Aubrey while the rest went to watch the fireworks show. With the 4th of July being on Sunday, we decided to have a family dinner get-together on Saturday. Candace's family couldn't join us due to sickness. Reed smoked a brisket and made some very tasty dutch oven potatoes. He fixed coleslaw. I made baked beans, scotcheroos and homemade rootbeer. We had grapes. Robin supplied chips and Jill brought a salad. The table cloths, napkins and cups were in red, white and blue. After eating and clearing things up, the adults visited and the kids played. The cruise-in parade was going on but no one went. I was too busy to take pictures but I did get a few:
Brynlee, Ashlyn and Jayse watching the homemade root beer brewing. Andrew had picked up some dry ice. Later, Bryan had to dash to Hyrum for some more flavoring to 'rescue' the watery rootbeer. (Note to self: next time buy McCormick's rootbeer extract in the first place instead of the cheaper Walmart 'Great Value' brand which wasn't a great value)
We were going to eat outside but it was quite windy and cool. Since we had just 19 of us, we ate in the kitchen instead of the banquet hall downstairs.
The younger kids enjoy the dress-ups.
Ashlyn says she is dressed as Ariel.

Jill with Aubrey -
Aubrey has just started walking all over the place.
The celebrations continue...the main 4th of July parade, which is in Hyrum, is tomorrow. Hyrum's fireworks are tomorrow night. Then the fireworks are over until July 24th.
