4th of July at the Ranch

We spent the 4th of July at the ranch this summer. We might as well have called it a family reunion because almost everyone was there. Ben took Evan golfing with Steve and Beau Friday morning and Evan came home with a huge bruise on his ear. Maybe now he will listen when his dad tells him to stand way back from the person with the club!

We loved the weather, the afternoon showers, exploring, visiting Heath and Cedar, and relaxing.

And of course playing games- our favorites this trip were: Sequence, Life-electronic version, Nertz, Cities and Knights of Cataan, War, Uno, Bananagrams, Quiddler and Ticket to Ride.

Exploring!

I did not get any pictures of our fireworks activities, but we drove into Heber and met some friends in the perfect spot. (or should I say invaded some friends!!) The fireworks were right above us and it was awesome! Thomas has been obsessed with fireworks ever since- he mentioned them at least once a day until our ward luau last weekend, and now he is obsessed with firedancing! We will definately go back next year for the festivites!
