Summer Fun

The last week of June we spent a fun weekend at the Ranch with our Davis and Clark families. The Ranch is located on the Mirror Lake Highway, between the Unitas and Evanston. The above picture is Mel flying a kite. We had a large group there so it was lots of fun. The kids played in the water and Mel and I, and some of the kids fished. Briana is in the inner tube in the picture below. We had good food, great company and a spectacular fireworks display on Saturday night.


On the 4th of July Mel and I took our boat out to see how she would run. The "Shake, Rattle and Troll" did a great job. We went out of the American Fork Harbor and enjoyed our time on the water.

On the evening of the 3rd, we enjoyed watching "Rough and Reckless" play in a softball game and later watching the Riverton Parade. Brock and Parker had a sleepover with us after the parade and the next morning we took them to see their mom who was running in a 10K. Later that morning we watched the tail end of the West Jordan parade which ends at 8200 South and Redwood Road. All of the parade entries turn down our street at the end, so we got to watch it from the comfort of our front porch.

That evening we enjoyed "all you can eat" hotdogs and games at Cory and Jeri's; and then we all headed to Riverton Park to see the fireworks. After all these years, I still believe that Riverton has the best fireworks in the entire state!
