Fourth of July 2018

The Fourth was just like every other year in most ways, and it was  as enjoyable as ever. Because of all the road work in Provo, the Freedom Run came right past our house. The picnic moved from the SKT Jr. house to Uncle's back yard and instead of swimming with the whole world at the Rec Center, the kiddos had a water fight in the front-yard sprinklers. With the changes to Kiwanis Park, watching Stadium of Fire fireworks was great.

 Anna and Clara; Maren, Harry, and Beckham, and Millie and 

Holden were the runners
