We also had a great holiday weekend. Todd was able to have 4 days off in a row and so we took advantage of it. This is what our weekend consisted of:
- Camping with my family up Diamond Fork Canyon :8 adults, 12 kids under the age of 12 and 4 tents.
- Riding bikes around the campground
- Going swimming at the Spanish Fork swimming pool
- The great Provo parade
- Enjoying the HOT sun
- Four wheeling with grandpa
- Floating down the river
- Great dutch oven dinner
- Smore's by the fire
- Trying out Todd's new fishing pole at Strawberry Reservoir with Britni and Jason and not having the best of luck
- Being stuck in bad traffic in Provo Canyon while a brush fire was extinguished
- Coming home and taking a hot shower!
Over all we had a great weekend spent with great family! Isabelle loves to go camping and she had a blast with all of her cousins. She didn't want to come home. Here are some fun pictures of our fun weekend!
I also wanted to express how grateful I am to live in this wonderful Country. I think a lot of times I take our freedoms for granted. I forget how lucky we are to live in this beautiful land. I love this holiday and the patriotism it brings to everyone around. I love being able to stand up and put my hand over my heart when a flag passes by. I love that there are brave people who are fighting and sacrificing so that I can live my life the way I want. I wish that we could have this sense of patriotism all year round. I was raised with very patriotic families and was taught how important it is to show our respect to our country. I only hope that I can instill those same lessons into my children.

Hi Heidi, this is Sheena Schippers from the ward. I just found your blog off of my sister-in-laws, Deborah Riley (or Schippers, I'm not sure how you know her.) What a small world.
Cute pics Heidi! It sounds like you had a great time, how nice that Todd had some time off...
Do you know what you are having yet?
Looks like you guys had a fun and exhausting holiday. That's the fun of it though. I love seeing the pics of Belle and your family. She's so big. Glad you had a long weekend with Todd. It must be nice to have somewhat of a routine now that he's done with school. We miss you guys as always, sorry we didn't get together in May. We'll plan for it next time.
What a fun weekend and cute pictures! It was great to talk to you this week! I miss you! We are seriously getting together sometime before the summer is over! :)
I have the same blue polka dot shirt with pink flowers for Katie. It's very cute!
