Lazy 4th of July

The 4th of July this year was pretty relaxed well except for the fact that we had 36 in my mother's kitchen for dinner that night.  We went to Seven Peaks in the morning and met Aunt Suzanna and Uncle Ryan and their family.  We stayed for a few hours and played in the water  Connor is quite brave and rides most of the slides and then he is content to hang out by himself.  Don will go down a few with him but we have to keep lots of eyes on Kyle so he goes back and forth.  We didn't rent a cabana like we did last year but Suzanna had an awesome sport shade umbrella that was really nice to use.  After we spent a few hours there we headed back to Grandma's to get ready for our BBQ.  Several of Granddaddy Larry's kids and their families came into town for several weeks so the Humphrey's Hotel was at maximum capacity and the kitchen was extra full when we were trying to get everyone fed.  Don grilled chicken and Quentin smoked a chicken and some brisket and we had strawberry pretzel salad which is in and of itself its own food group.  We made homemade ice cream and ate so much food it was ridiculous but it wouldn't  be a holiday without copious amounts of food.  Like Calley says you don't stop eating when you are full, you stop when you hate yourself.  Since Aunt Laurel and her family and Uncle Chris and his family couldn't come we didn't do the Driveway of Fire.  We were going to go out to Pleasant Grove with Aunt Suzanna's family to see the city fireworks but by the end of the evening we were too tired.  We ended up watching the Independence Day celebration from Washington and then were outside to watch the fireworks going on in the valley below.  It was a fun Fourth of July.
