Fourth of July Fun-er-ama

It is Sunday afternoon and we just finished watching possibly the greatest tennis match in history....the Wimbledon Men's Final. Mom is now asleep and Jeff and I are bonding on our laptops.
We had a good 4th of July holiday weekend. Jeff planned out his 3rd annual 4th of July Funerama. He was out in the dark Thursday night mowing the lawn. Friday, Mom, Jeff, Mike, Ali and the kids went boating at deer creek reservoir while I stayed home and prepared things for the funerama. We had the playground, the pool, badminton net, awning, tables and chairs set up. Those attending were the Mitchell family, Mike, Ali and their family, Grandma, Maggie, Mom, Dad, Jeff, and Brooke. Jeff's friend Annette also came. For food, we had Bar-B-Que Ribs, potato salad, corn on the cob, chips, cherry choc. cake, blueberry cheese cake and apple pie. When it got dark, we all went out front and lit off fireworks. Even though we did not go over to Provo this year, I think everyone enjoyed the day and it was less hastle and stress for all.....especially for me.

We had a great time, but were missing Angie, Mike and their family. We got used to having them close. We also missed Kevin and Kerri, but Kerri is not feeling too well.
Hope you are all doing well.......See you next week.
