Christen and her friend Sydney at the ward breakfast
Trevor and friend Jace at the ward Breakfast.-- there was a bit of a water fight at the end!
At the town park festivities
We had a great day celebrating our country and the freedoms that we enjoy so much. In the morning our ward had a pancake breakfast at the park. the cubs did a flag ceremony, we sang patriotic songs and heard from a a family who immigrated here from Canada. There were games for the kids and volleyball.
After that we came home and hung out, took naps and went swimming and had a bbq. In the evening we went to a new park in town for festivities there and the fireworks show. It was really fun. Each of the kids found friends to play with. The only issue was that Trevor found a friend and then took off with him and we did not set a time to meet. He promised that he knew where we were set up - but when it came right down to it --he wasnt sure. We looked until it got dark and then the show started. We were 99.9% sure he was with his friend's family but we couldnt do anything until people started clearing out. It was some what frustrating! Anyhow, we did find him after but he was in big trouble. --He did do the right thing in staying with the group but not for just taking off with his friend without telling us where he went.
