Independence Day

We repeated last year's festivities for the 4th of July and rented seadoos, tubes, and a water trampoline at Jordanelle reservoir. Sara and I were able to get up early from the campground and save a good spot on the beach. Later that day, Isaac & Tannis fam, Kris, Jeff, & Kayla, Niel & Darci, and Kris' brother and sister and their fams all came up to meet us and play at the water.

The water trampoline was a hit for all ages. It's an adventure to try and keep your balance while jumping on a floating/bobbing object. The brothers enjoyed a game of king of the hill.



My kids didn't get a great night's sleep due to camping, so they were definitely ready for naps. The only way I could get Carter to stay asleep was to keep him in his carseat. We kept both of them in the shade in their carseats while the water fun went on.



Tyson and Sara coming in from a crazy ride on the seadoos. They were both sore and bruised from throwing each over off.



A family ride (minus Taylee) on the seadoo...Carter loved riding the "boat"


One of Carter's favorite spots was the food area...chips and cookies galore. Carter paradise!

Chillin' with Dad in the tube

What a cutie! Jared floating away on his tube


My sweet little Taylee soakin' up the sun.



It was fun just to play at the beach and hang out with friends and family



Some of us forgot to keep loading up on sunscreen...these burns were no fun for the recipients.




Most everyone was pretty worn out by the time we got home and showered-but I just had to see the fireworks at Thanksgiving Point. I took Carter and Taylee, Tucker, Caleb, and Sarah around the block to watch the fireworks in the sky...it was the perfect ending to a fun 4th of July.
