No Pictures

We forgot our camera, so I don't have any pictures to share from our holiday weekend. Sorry. We are so tired from all the festivities, but we had a great time!
Friday we had so much fun playing basketball all morning. That evening we went to the Rohn's for a great Independence Day party! We played volleyball all night. The food was awesome! The kids played in the pool and bouncy house all night and the fireworks were wonderful.
Saturday we woke up early to go to the Olsen's ranch for their annual 4th of July breakfast. The food was so good! The kids loved playing in the woods, on the tire swing and checking out the animals. We left a little bit early and went to a movie. First, we had to buy the kids some shoes because we were so tired this morning that we forgot our kids' shoes. After the movie, we went to a park that has a huge slide and some old playground equipment. The slide was so fun-we are definitely going back there. Afterward we stopped by an orchard to pick up fruit and freshly baked pies. On our way home we stopped for Chicago-style pizza. Then after a quick basketball game, we are now home to relax. This was one of the best holiday weekends ever. There are so many things that I want to do here before we move!

That is so funny you forgot the kids shoes - you all must have been really out of it! I'm glad you guys are getting out and doing lots of fun stuff out there. Gregg and I really regret that we didn't do that when we lived back east.

That sounded like a lot of fun! Are the Rohns a family that you know or a place. Clint had to work on the 4th this year, but the kids and I still had a great time with Campbells at the park that night. I wish we would've done a fun breakfast or something... maybe we should've crashed Bec's. haha. :) oh well.. We'll plan better next year, if clint's not working again. :) We miss you guys tons and tons!!! Lv you! Jaron just told me this morning that he wished Dallan would be here for his birthday. we ALL miss you guys!!

Bec,
We don't have definite plans to move yet. I only meant that we know we won't be here forever and I like seeing as much as possible while we have a chance.
Shel,
I guess you'll just have to come back then. :)
Moo,
The Rohn's are a family in the ward. They have great parties!
I would consider sending Dallan to visit, but for now we are still in the works to try and visit as a family at the end of the year, so we wouldn't be able to afford to send him. Jaron, can always come back-anyone can come for that matter!
