9 July 2010 - Joanne's Independence Day

The girls were very excited about our yard sale, and made sure to take advantage of the crowds we generated (not much) by selling lemonade, water and cookies.While I was in Utah, Joanne went to Delaware. Our sister-in-law Jolene was serving as Young Women's camp leader, and our niece Amanda was attending Girls Camp for the first time. Joanne stayed at their house during the week with their three younger boys. It was very hot, so the kids figured out a water slide to cool off.Madeline and Trevor were good tire swing pals.
On the 5th of July, Karl's ward had an Independence Day party complete with bike parade. Madeline enjoyed the candy.
The kids also did fireworks. Joanne had bought a huge box of sparklers last year, and had hundreds left this year, so she took them to Delaware for the kids to play with.
Fortunately many were burned without any kids suffering the same fate.
And when you've done all the fireworks you can, you collapse on your blanket.
Joanne and the girls are glad to be home now, and Joanne's glad we don't have six kids.

  1. And I'm really glad she came - there's no way I could have managed the week without her here!
