4th of July

Our holiday celebration started a day early. Brent and Dayna had arranged for the whole adult family to go see Les Miserables. I was so excited. I haven't seen this since I was 16. We first had a yummy dutch oven dinner and then watched the play. It was so inspiring. At intermission, I said to Heidi, "I need a cause to go and fight for." Thanks Brent and Dayna for a fun night!

The next day we headed up the mountain for our annual Hillyard-Hunter 4th celebration. This year was a little different because Dayna had us all lined out to work on the cabin. We had people painting 3 different rooms and laying tile in the bathrooms and kitchen. It was actually quite fun. Much more fun than doing it all by ourselves on our house. The work detail didn't begin until Saturday am. So we had all Friday to play.

Grandma Dayna had planned a treasure hunt for all the grandkids. They sure loved it. Kaylee was always leading the pack. Dayna had also planned a compass course for Justin and Drayton. This was to help pass off a task in scouts. All the kids found great treasures. Thanks Dayna for thinking of fun activities for our kids.

Later that night, we piled onto the four wheelers and headed to the ice hole. I didn't go down, but Tyler and all the kids took a turn. We lowered a tall ladder down the hole and everyone climbed down. From what they told me, there was too much ice to really go anywhere. Isn't it crazy that there was still ice there on the 4th of July. Brent tells us, that was how people had refridgeration way back when.

What a fun weekend!
