We'll start with a few random July 4th photos that didn't make last weeks post, and end with photos from our little anniversary getaway. It's been a great week and the best 30 years of marriage!
Greg's all ready to light some fireworks.
Best neighborhood!
Greg being silly and can you spot Charlie's head hanging down from the hammock?
Sunday night shenanigans with the grand-girls.
Elliot is nuts!
A fresh gel set!
A yummy dinner to celebrate our anniversary. (Lets just say there wasn't enough time to go to Ruby River so we'll try another night.)
For our anniversary getaway we went to the fancy Best Western in Ogden, which did not disappoint and then we made the scenic drive home past several cool reservoirs.
I struggle with the selfies!
Not photographed was our yummy burgers from Burly Burgers. It's a little hard to believe Greg and I have been married 30 years. It's been an adventure! And I'm excited for eternity with the best guy I know!
We had a great week. From another great ice cream gathering to celebrating our freedom and the birth of our nation.
Carter and his buddies are fixing up this boat so they can access more fish. This photo was taken right before they went on their maiden voyage.
Sunday night ice cream is still going strong.
Ice cream night wears Ada out!
Andy treated us to a prequel fireworks show the night before the 4th and it was spectacular. Sadly, it also resulted in an injury.
Poor Kat got hit with a fairly big piece of shrapnel and we had a bit of a blood bath on our hands. Thankfully she's going to be fine and our amazing friend, nurse Stephanie, came to the rescue and glued up Kat's hole in her head so she didn't have to get stitches.
Kat and Ada sharing some love.
Kat came better prepared the next night. The hard hat was priceless! Charlie put together this little care package for Kat and we could't help but add a head wound to the little cat drink.
She's the best!
We had a bit of a wet start to our backyard barbecue but we didn't let that stop us. And of course it stopped and dried up quickly.
Best friends and family!
A cute family photo of the Wendel's.
And then it was out front for a neighborhood free-for-all fireworks extravaganza!
These cute girls loved the sparklers.
Elliot with the birthday girl. Mackenzie is officially 16!
And Ada finished up the night with a sparkler and the best cheesy smile!
Another great July 4th with some of the best neighbors, friends and family!
Greg, Brock, McClane & Carter had a fun fishing adventure at Flaming Gorge with several other young men & leaders from the ward. It was basically a repeat of their camp out two years ago, and just as fun the second time.
They started with Baptisms at the Vernal Temple.
Greg caught another gorgeous photo that deserves to be on canvas.
Captain McClane
He won the prize for catching the most fish, 11 total!
Greg always gets in on the fun.
Carter was the great fishing guru.
Brock really got official with the captain's gear.
A hike to finish off their fun adventure.
And Charlie recently had a fun adventure with her nieces and some chickens.
Kayli caught a great video of Charlie communicating with the 'head' rooster of the chicken coop.
And while Greg and the 3 boys are on a young men's camping/fishing adventure, Charlie got to spend the day with her nieces and had a great time. And I got to be home alone enjoying a clean house and reading a good book.
We're headed into a quiet weekend and with the last of our church camping obligations behind us we can sit back and relax and enjoy the rest of our summer break!
