In the morning I took a picture of Lydia’s hair handiwork from the night before:
When Lydia took out these braided buns, Mary had beautiful curls!
For breakfast we did slappy cakes at home. I am on steroids for my foot and didn’t sleep the night before, so I was a big grouch during this time. But the kids were so sweet and still smiled when I took pictures of them:
In the afternoon we headed to the splash pad for Brinley’s birthday party. Clarissa was still napping at home with my mom so I got to chat with my wonderful neighbors during the party. Emily took this picture:
In the afternoon we picked up Abe from work early (at 4:15) and headed up to the mountains to go fishing as a family. The river was high and fast, so we didn’t catch anything. But it was so fun to be together in the mountains, and we had tons of fun watching all of the people tubing and rafting float by. Also, we were right across from a beaver dam! So we saw the beaver swimming around!!
Then in the evening we ate leftover tacos, corn, and orange melon before heading over to the mall parking lot to watch the Orem fireworks with the Kahlers. They brought all of the kids fire snap thingies and glowsticks, and they had the BEST time playing while we waited for the firework show.
