July 4th

Due to the firework restrictions all over the state, we were not able to run the firework stand this year.  We missed out on a little revenue, but really it was nice to not have to deal with it.  Plus we were able to go to Provo for the 4th.  Dad always throws a big all-day shebang for the fourth.  friends, family, total strangers, all show up for the parade and a big BBQ afterwards.  This year all 17 grand kids of Dad and Jan's were there so we had to get pictures.

Caitlin the tree hugger.

Grandpa was in his element with all his guests.

My brother Jon in all his glory.  I especially love the straw hat.

All of Dad and Jan's kids and spouses except Dennis, James, and Joe.  Plus a few little ones.
