4th of July

We had a really busy 4th of July this year. We started the day of by visiting Matt's grandpa. He is 90 something years old, and still lives alone. He is a survivor! We helped him out by weeding his garden and cleaning up his yard. After about 4 hours of weeding, we visited Matt's dad for an hour or so, then we drove to his mom's house. It was nice to make the rounds on the Goodwin/Nielsen side.
After all of the visiting of Matt's family we drove up to my mom and dad's house. My mom and dad were recently in a motorcycle accident, and my mom tore her rotator cuff and just had surgery on it. She did not seem like herself, but I think my mom appreciated having us visit her for a few hours.

After visiting everyone, Matt and I met up with some friends at the Sandy City 4th of July festival. We got there just in time to find a great spot on the grass and get ourselves ready to see the fireworks.

I took some great pictures of the fireworks, but something happened to my camera when I was downloading the pictures to my computer and I lost all the pictures. Oh well....better luck next year.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Independence Day!! Thank you everyone that makes our freedom possible.

You have such a cute group of friends. Did you go for the parade part?? Mike was marching in the parade again this year, just wonderin if you saw him?? Love all the pics, especially the trip with the family to the wedding in wine country. Looks like a bunch of fun :) Sometimes I wish I was one of the sisters so I could just hang out with you guys :)

We didn't go to the parade part, but that would've been fun to see Mike marching. Thanks for all the nice comments! :)
