Happy 4th of July

As I think about the 4th of July, it is usually a day of rushing around, trying to fit a million activities into about 12 hours. Does anyone else feel that way? We were pretty busy today, but managed to cut out a few things, and overall, had a great, relaxing holiday. 

We started the day already pretty exhausted from our party the night before. Riley and Jake were up until about 11:30 p.m. We finally managed to get up and moving.  We had a 4th of July breakfast with our good friends and neighbors, the Lloyds, then headed up to Clinton for my nephews baptism. I had questioned getting baptized that day, but it actually was really neat when a member of the bishopric mentioned that the boys would always remember their baptism day, and know that Heavenly Father was having a celebration in their honor for making such a good decision.  We had lunch w/ Cory and Emily at their house after the baptism. We all headed back down to South Jordan to my parents house for an afternoon of swimming. This was the relaxing part. We just let the kids play w/ their cousins, and enjoyed being together.  

Jacob is getting so brave in the pool. Tyler taught him to jump off the diving board. Oh my... he is too little for this!
All the cousins loved watching Cory light the "snakes" on the side of the pool. 
Emily, Katelin, Grandma Price, Lily, Jamie, Chris
We hooked up w/ our friend the Beutlers later to watch fireworks at Jordan High School. 
Happy Independence Day!!
