4th is Week of Fun and Family

The first week of July 2014 began with a surprise visit with Whitney which included pleasant, animated conversation about her new job as inventory controller with Subway, as well as about puppies and kittens.  We enjoyed seeing her - although we didn't get a picture - even if it was just for a couple of hours.  Soon after, Tylre, Jaeson and 13-month-old Guillermo (nicknamed "Memo") came to town.  We would have loved to have them stay over with us, but we got to spend a couple of hours catching up.  Allysa, Daxton and Bentley joined us the next morning, and after a breakfast of Grandpa's waffles (which Memo really liked) we moved the party to the St. George Town Square.  The water park was surprisingly busy at 11 a.m. since the temperature on this July day was already well over 100 degrees.

On Independence Day, we had breakfast in the park with our next door neighbors.  Later in the day we barbecued hamburgers with Stacy, Taisley and Danielle (fireman Rick had to work) then saw "Earth to Echo" - an obvious Disney re-make of "ET" before joining thousands of residents at the park of the traditional fireworks show (during which Rick was called out twice!)

It was a week of fun, food, film, fireworks ... and family.  It doesn't get much better than this!
