Trip to Utah/ 4th of July 2008

On the 4th of July, we went up to BYU campus and had a giant picnic with Julie's family and some cousins, Aunts and Uncles. It was a giant family reunion-like fun fest. Grandpa gave rides to all the grandkids in his little convertible and we had a huge water balloon fight on the grass. After eating and playing games on the grass, it began to get dark and the fire works began! What a show!

We had some going up the canyon and having picnic along the river! It's so beautiful up in the canyons in the summer!

We took the older 3 kids up to Snowbird for the day and took the tram up to the top of the mountain and hiked around! Gorgeous views! We also had a blast on the alpine slides, bunjee trampoline and zip lines.

We also had a family reunion with the Barson family. Julie and her sister Wendy and brothers, along with Mom and Dad all had a blast staying in a Cabin up in the mountains by Heber. We had a Moose cow and her 2 calves right out in our "backyard" every evening. What a fun way to observe wildlife!
