Happy 3rd and 4th of July!

My sister and her family have been in town staying at my parents house this week. I got off of work a day early and decided to come down for the 4th of July! My family is kind of spur of the moment, we must get it from my dad:) We woke up and decided to go on a hike up to Squaw Peak. It was so much fun to be able to go up with family. Starting at the top, my brother Gary, my nephew Spencer(standing up), Patrick, my nephew Jordan, me, my niece Kelsey, and my nephew Cody. When we got back we went sat out on the deck, playing with Gary's dog, and we only had so many chairs. I, of course, got to sit on the little kid chair. I have to blame the heat, it definately wasn't me being to big for the chair, but the legs decided to slowly give out. You can't tell very well in this picture, but the legs are all flat going in opposite ways. Pretty funny! While sitting on the deck, we thought it would be great to go swimming. Gary mentioned that we could go rafting down the Provo river. Denise, called and found out that it is only 15 dollars a person. Patrick, me and Katie(Gary's wife) didn't have swimming stuff, so we ran to Savers and bought 2 dollar pair of shorts. This was so much fun. The Provo river is not really strong or scary, so it was perfect for the little kids and just relaxing. It is about an hour and half long. Starting from the left, top row: my sister Denise, me, Patrick, Gary, Katie, and Jordan. Bottom row: Cody, Kelsey and Spencer.So far we have had a great weekend. Tonight we are planning to stake out a spot and watch the Stadium of fire. Happy 4th of July!
