July 4th

Ezra and I headed down to Fool Creek (closest recognizable city = Delta) for a family reunion and an 80th Birthday party for his grandma Roper.

We attended a parade in Delta. I'm not gonna lie it was a little bit sparse on the candy. But Ezra's little cousins kept us entertained by peeing in the middle of the park and other such activities.




Sand dunes cover large areas of Grandma and Grandpa Ropers farm. This is an arrow head I found while Ezra and I were out on the four wheeler- pretty cool huh!


We lit off some illegal fireworks (you can get away with stuff like that when you're in the boonies). The explosives are more or less up for grabs. I decided that I did not want to start on fire so I found a safe spot away from the commotion.

During this fireworks display there was much of yelling and running. Ezra's brother Rick got pegged in the back by a rougue firework-luckily all it did was put a burn mark on his shirt. There were more than a couple fire works that didn't make it completely off the ground before exploding. Ezra calls it the red-neck firework show. yeah-pretty much!



I love a good camp fire. We slept in a tent in the front yard but that didn't keep the owls from waking us up!





Ezra and I decided to go flying this morning- we flew over the Provo parade and we also got to fly over my parents house and the Draper and Timp Temples. It was so fun! It's been a great summer so far, it's kind of depressing to see it going by so fast- I guess we enjoy it while we can right!
