4th of July

I'm finally recovering from my 4th of July weekend. It was so much fun. To begin with, the weekend before, we went up to Logan and switched kids with Micheal and Sarah. We left John there and took home Julia for the week. It was kind of fun to have more girls than boys for once. My parents and brother came through on the 1st. It was fun to be with them and we tried having the kids sleep on the trampoline, but the sprinklers came on in the middle of the night. Then on the 2nd my parents left and Mike and Sarah came for the weekend. We went to Boise and saw some sights on Friday. Saturday we rented a boat and went tubing and water skiing. It was a lot of fun, although I still didn't get up. We'll have to rent a boat again some time soon. We had ribs and homemade ice cream for dinner and went to fireworks. It was a great day! Sunday Mike and Sarah left and my parents and brother came back through. Ate more ice cream. It was great! Justin had Monday off so went with us to swimming lessons. Tuesday we babysat 5 extra kids all night while their parents went to the temple, so it was a party. Went to Roaring Springs (a water park) on Wednessday, fed the missionaries on Thursday, temple night for us on Friday, school shopping Saturday and then we finally had to return to "normal" life. Writing it down helps me realize why it took me till Saturday to finally get caught up on laundry and house cleaning. I love summer!
