Good friends!

For the fourth of July we went camping in Payson with friends from our ward. It turned out to be a "mini ward campout" as we had about 8 families there. The kids all had someone their age so it was great. We were in an open meadow which was nice but it was really dusty so they all were really dirty most of the time. It rained on and off which was really great to have the rain and cool weather. We took our dog Missy and she got equally dirty but loved playing with all the kids. There was plenty of good friends, game playing, talking and relaxing. We hiked down to the creek and a lot of the kids got in the water. There were a ton of crawdads and the water was really cold. Those two kept me out of the water. On the fourth we packed up in the morning and headed into Payson for the fireworks and park activities. They had bouncies and activities and the kids all played and had so much fun with their friends. Glade and Laurie had a lot of their family and friends show up for the day and they had a barbeque. Lots of good food. We all headed home after the fireworks and got home late. Fun Fourth of July!
