Red, White, and Blue

We started off with the Annual Partridge Family Fourth of July Extravaganza. Chris and the kids and I left a day early so that I could visit my family in SLC and Chris spent the day actually working from the office. The kids and I had a lot of fun. We had breakfast with my Grandma McFarlane and had a really nice visit. Then we went to my Grandma Basta's for lunch with Missy and her kids. It was also a nice surprise to have my cousin Andy and her kids there. My grandma is brave! There were 9 kids in her condo age ranging from 5 months to 13 years old! Everyone had a great time. The rest of the vacation was spent enjoying having all the Partridge's together. Here's a list of some of the favorite memories of the weekend...

• The first annual PGB (Partridge Golfing Boys) Tournament, complete with hats, a "green jacket," and more. Brett and Stephanie's new home is right behind the Cedar Hills Golf Course. The kids' favorite part was going out on the balcony and guessing if we saw the "Big Boys" golfing.
• The block party at Ryan and Jennifer's that included a bounce house for the kids.
• The BBQ at Bicentennial Park. At least our 4th year at this park, it's perfect for the kids to just play and we can all fit in one place. And the best part is that no one has to clean up their house after we are done!
• The kids playing on the playground while the burgers and dogs cooked. There's a picture I love with Brock asleep in the swing!
• The amazing t-shirt quilt that Jennifer made for Scott and Cheryl out of all of our 4th of July t-shirts over the years.
  
• Relay games after eating! We played spoon relay, gunny sack race, egg toss, and a three legged race. Everyone was a winner!
• The kids went a saw the movie UP with the men while the women went little baby girl shopping with Jennifer.
  
• An awards ceremony which involved candy!
• Hyrum's 2nd birthday party - which started off with Stephanie's amazing homemade pizza.
• And of course....fireworks!
