Independence Day Week!

We met Amy and Cody in Flagstaff the Sunday before Independence Day and picked up Eli and Calvin so we could have them a few days before the rest of the crew arrived.  Eli found a four-leaf clover!

Calvin let us know that Monday was his night to make dinner, and that included at our house!  He's a pro at setting out Chicken Nuggets!


The American Fork Cousins came a couple of days early, so the cousins had a good time playing together.




We saved picking the apricots until we had some help in picking them...






...and eating them!








We got a couple of rooms painted this summer.  Angela has a good eye for hanging stuff, she she helped us put everything back together before the rest of the crew arrived.

Getting the long grass mowed before the whole crew arrived!







The rest of the pictures from here to the end went in backwards.  I don't know how to fix them, so just know that they are chronologically exactly in reverse.

Charcuterie for lunch!



We did a last-time walkthrough at Red Rock for my own kids.  By the time they come back, we will more than likely be in the new building, and the old Red Rock will be but a memory.
