Fire in the Hole

Saturday Billy & I decided to get a burn permit and burn off some old piles that have been building up for awhile. We had a nice little place burned off and just kept adding stuff to the pile. After a couple of hours we just lit the "other" pile to speed the process up...no biggy. We figured we were done so we doused the fire with a whole lot of water. We went to Jenn and Eric's for a bar-b-q with Marge, Raul, Derek, Nicole and the girls. Billy thought he should check the fire so he went home which was good cuz it had flared up again. He doused it again and came back to the party. We doused it again before we went to bed at midnight. Thank heavens our neighbor had an early morning water turn cuz he called us at 4:00 a.m. and informed us that we had a fire in the back yard hence the following pictures..

Bear lake

Saturday after Billy & Kenny got done working on the roof we decided that we needed to go for a little motorcycle ride. Brant & Ashley came up so the four of took a little jont over to Bear Lake and enjoyed a refreshing shake. That has to be one of our most favorite rides, Logan Canyon is so dang pretty. It makes you wonder how some people don't believe in God, all you have to do is look around and you can see His handiwork.

July 4th fun

For the 4th of July we went up to Pineview res. and went boating. We went Friday and Saturday. Jenn, Eric and Elli went with us on Friday and being the lame mom/grandma that I am, I forgot my camera so I don't have pictures of them. DANG IT! I did get pictures of everyone else on Saturday.
