4th of July!

So we started out the day with our ward breakfast, which I was not in charge of. (I was the activity person in our ward for the last 3 years) So I had no resposibilities, except cooking the sausage. Anyway, we did that and then we headed out to Fishhook Park, out past Burbank, for a day of fun. There were probably 10 or more other families that we went out with and we had tons of fun. Lots of kids, food, sun and water. Some friends of ours took out their boat, so that was fun. The water is still really cold though. Kyson went on the tube and had a good time! We left the park around 9 and headed into Burbank where you could see fireworks going off everywhere. It was a fun drive. Then we stopped at my cousins house in Burbank, and lit off fireworks with them, since they are illegal in Kennewick. Between them, us and their neighbors, we had a small, or not so small, arsenol. It was a lot of fun. Only one small mishap when one of the roman candles tipped over and kept shooting right at the house and porch where everyone was sitting. oops...Landon didn't like the sound. He kept his hands over his ears the whole time and then got back in the truck. Here are a few pics of the super fun day.



all Kennedy ate all day was chips...



On Saturday, we went back out on the boat with the Hansens, just the adults this time, and it was so fun to be able to relax and not worry about the kids. The Columbia was freezing, but we braved it anyway. I jumped in to wake board and it was so friggin cold I couldn't talk. It took me a minute to catch my breath. I was lucky enough that I got up my first time, I was worried, but it was so cold, there was no way I was going to sit in the water again. Then I was up and getting so tired, my arms and hands were hurting, but I did not want to get back into the water. I actually was trying to figure out if I could just pull myself up the rope to the boat. I let go and had them throw the kneeboard and did that for a bit, while I was already frozen and numb. It was super fun! Totally different experience when its just the adults. Jacob & Cory wakeboarded, (those guys make it all look so easy, it doesn't feel as easy and they make it look to me.) Sonja rocked the kneeboard, she went forever! Then she decided to try out the wake board for the first time and totally got up, her first time ever. I can't believe she was crazy enough to get in again! We had a great weekend. Its so fun to have such great friends to hang out with.

Oh, we also saw Hancock over the weekend. I think I really liked it. It was alot different than what I expected but I liked it. Hope you all had a great weekend too!
