The whole family was able to get together for Independence Day! I'm sure it's rough on folks being that crowded for sleeping, etc., but I love that it happens whenever it does.
Our Temple weekend just so happened to be the same weekend as the Independence Day Weekend. The dad and I took Emily and Erika with us to Albuquerque, and we hung out together while the Grandad was doing his first two sealer shifts on Friday.
The next morning, Chelsea did some initaitories while Brian and the kids walked around the temple grounds. I got to be in initiatory while Chelsea was there, and I was at the Recommend Desk while Brian and the kids played around the fountain, and I could watch them from inside!
Brian and Chelsea took all the kids back to Gallup while the dad and I finished up at the temple.

We finished off the day with Lemon Ice Cream and Fireworks. Happy Independence Day, everyone!
