Pioneer Day

Happy Pioneer day! We had a fun 24th celebration which started on the 23rd with a BBQ at Grandma and Grandpa Wilson's house. Chad and Kim brought a fun waterslide for the kids and Meggan made some REALLY good cabobs. When it got dark the kids did sparklers and then we went across the street for a great view of the Bountiful fireworks.

All the kids kept doing this and I am very surprised none of them got burned!

The next day we went down to my parents house in Lehi to see my brother and his family who are here from New Mexico. We had more yummy food and played games. Then my parents' neighbors did their own illegal firework show, which was great entertainment. Gotta love the summer holidays!

Here's Amber taking a swing with her croquet mallet. Thayne's thinking about sabotoging her... I can tell!

Matt, Thayne, and Amber playing a serious game of croquet. Where did all the kids go?
It's always fun to spend the holidays with family!!!

You now have a new rhyme to say "4 little monkeys jumpin' on a tramp" instead of 4 little monkeys jumpin' on a bed!
