We did so many things in this weekend with family that we totally crashed on Sunday! It was sure worth it though. Stephen had work off on Friday, so we had an extra long weekend. It was great! Friday morning we set off early to meet up with my Sister Camille and her family at the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house. I think everybody else had that same idea. It was incredibly busy, but what a beautiful temple it was. I loved seeing the expression of my nephews Austin and Nathan and explaining the different areas to them. Then the guys took off for an afternoon of golfing. That night the whole family headed over to my sister Melinda's house for an outdoor movie. They have a huge inflatable screen they set up with a popcorn machine and everything. I made it through the entire movie withOUT falling asleep...amazing...I know!
On Saturday morning we woke up early to head out for the Kaysville 5K. This is becoming an annual tradition! Last year my sister Camille and I did it. But, this year my little nephew Nathan set a goal to run it like his mom. By the end he had recruited Me, Stephen, his dad Mike and my mom to all run it. It was so much fun to do it with a big group! My mom even got first place for her age group! Way to go Mom!We headed to the little parade, to see my nieces ride in my dad's old Model A car! Then back to my parents for a yummy BBQ and even homemade rootbeer and ice cream! It doesn't get better then that. And of course it couldn't have been the fourth without lighting a firework or two. We sat on the front lawn while the big kids (aka the dad's) lit up quite the show. We also have a perfect view of the city's big fireworks too. It's makes for a very patriotic setting. We definitely played hard. I don't know how we could have done anything else this weekend! It sure was fun to spend time with family.
