(Disclaimer, I had been trying for weeks to get this post up with pictures. I could never get the pictures to come up, so I gave up I was ready to give up on the blogging world at that point, come to find out my computer had a little virus, so I am assuming that was the reason why I couldn't upload the pic. so I will make another attempt and see what happens)
The 4th started off with our traditional Leeds Town breakfast at the Park. Brittany and the kids, Dan, Chantelle and Haiven also joined us for breakfast. After that was kinda just a lazy day it was very nice. The boys went golfing with Grandpa Fowlks, and Ross (Ron's Bro.) Josh was working. Later that day we had Gma and Gpa Fowlks over along with Ross' family over for a BBQ. It was fun having some of our SLC family here, it has been along time since we have been together and celebrated the 4th. I was so excited t0 use our firepit. We let the kids roast their hot dogs and BBQ hamburgers. Then my most favorite thing, after dinner we had S'mores. Looove my firepit. Then we drove into St. George for fireworks. We took Raylie and Logan, Josh, Brit, Lucas and Kaiden went home. This year they were setting them off in 4 different place so we decieded we would drive up the old airport road so we could see them all. It was an awesome place to watch fireworks, until it was time to leave. It took us an hour or so from the time of the finale till we got to the bottom of the Hill on to St. George Blvd. We had two sleeping kids by the time we got them home. I know it wasn't dads favorite place to go, but he was a trooper and went along for the ride.
(As you can see it was the virus that was causing the grief trying to upload pic, thanks Josh for making my computer all better!!)
I left for Texas on the 6th, Chad and Danette purchased a ticket for me to come and watch their kidos while they went on a little vacation to CA. Sharise had quit her job, in preparation to drive home when they returned from CA. We had a great time with Carly and Sam, it was hot and humid and rained most of the days I was there, so we tried to do fun things indoors where ever we went. We went to a childrens discoverery museum, the playground in the mall we went to a movie. Sharise and I started the looooong trek home on the 16th of July. As we started out our plans were to drive to Albuquerque get a room for the night and get up early and continue on home. Well as the drive progressed Sharise said "I think I can drive straight through" as we got into NM we were both so wired (alittle to much pepsi(me) and mt dew(sharise)going through our veins) that we just kept on going. It was about the time we hit Jacobs Lake that we were both really ready to be home the last 5 hrs of the trip. We made it home in a little over 23 hrs. Sharise really drove most of the way. We stopped for gas when ever we hit a bigger town, we kept the tank on the upper half, and mainly just to get out and stretch our bodies alittle. (for my body mainly)It was really fun being with Sharise and talking for 23 hrs. I think we did take a few breaks talking in there for some shut eye. The rest of the month we really pretty much got started on wedding plans and got a lot knocked out before Sharsie got her job.
This is the beautiful sunrise that I saw flying from St. George to SLC on the morning of the 6th and then landing in SLC.
These are some of the picturs from the museam
Fun on the river!
