Thursday the 3rd I went to the Colonial Days in Provo with my friend Michelle and her kids. I just love history so much! and I love to see how they lived and survived in the past.
We spent the 4th of July in Franklin. We went up on thursday night painted Mya and I's toenails festive red and blue. Grandpa even let Mya try it on him:) and made our new traditional red and blue m&ms in rice krispie treats.
Friday morning went to the parade friday morning in Lewiston and got lots of candy (mya had no kids next to her so it was all hers), that afternoon my dad rode the 4 wheeler, Jaxon rode the motorcycle and Dean drove Mya, Hunter, Jakey, and I in the side by side up to Indian flats. It's a beautiful ride up Maple Creek (we would love to have a home there) and basically it goes all the way up the mtn and the view is amazing! it overs looks Franklin, Preston, Lewiston and all the little towns in between. The trail was blocked off but my dad said, "it shouldn't be" so we just opened the fence and went right up :) later mom and I went to Gma Smith's to go through some more stuff, I got an old trunk that I want to use for pics I'll have to try it out on Mindy's little one when he gets here, Mya played in the water slide with Jakey and Hunter later that day. Dean and I and the kids all got into a water fight! it was so fun! Dean of course had to "win" by dunking me in the pool:) man I love him! Then Dean had a little nap then we had a wonderful dinner full of family and laughs, then we lit our own fireworks that night.
Saturday morning my mom watched the kids while Dean and I went on a horse ride with Papa Sid and Belle joined us up Cherry creek to scout out some deer since Dean and I both drew deer tags this year!!! wahoo!!! I'm so excited! It was a beautiful ride and we just love our conversations with Papa Sid-he is a great man! That afternoon we invited a neighbor girl, Alexis Denton, to play in the kiddie pool with Mya and Baylor, my mom and I lounged in the sun and chatted. During that time Dean and his long time friend Russell Ward went golfing in Preston. We had dinner and watched the horse movie, secretariat.
Sunday we went to church and it was fun for me to catch up with my long time friend Kristina Crosland and my old young women leader. We had dinner at the Hansen's and played a game called cub.
only a few words can sum up this weekend: Family and Fun! I'm so thankful for our families and the closeness we all share. God is great for creating the Plan of Happiness!
