Independence Day (Mike)

We had a great Fourth of July celebration yesterday. We had a flag ceremony at the fort, along with singing, poetry, and a patriotic message from our director, Elder Baldwin. We then raised our 37 star flag. Afterwards, we had a sunrise breakfast together under the trees in the picnic area.


Following our shift at the fort yesterday, we traveled to Richfield where we met up with Kevin and Jeanette Rowley , our niece and her husband, at Kevin’s Parents house. We joined them in a barbeque and family fireworks with their family. Then we stayed to see the city of Richfield fireworks. They were really quite impressive. They were launched on the mountainside just above their home. We had an excellent view from their back yard. It was a fun afternoon and evening. Today is our Prep day, so we slept in a little and did the laundry. We are waiting for Jordyn, our granddaughter, to stop by with her other grandparents for a visit and a tour of the fort. It will be good to spend some time with them.

  Following our tour of the fort with Jordyn and Doug and Judy, They took us out to dinner at Maria's, a great little restaurant up Beaver Canyon. It was great to see Jordyn and spend some time with Doug and Judy.
