The Best 4th of July EVERRRR!!!

We spent the morning at beautiful Tony Grove Lake. Between Jana & Tyler, Stanton & me, and our combined 10 children, we pretty much moved in up there. Pack and Plays, coolers, life jackets, raft, food, treats, diapers, bottles, swimsuits, towels...you get the idea. :)


S & T took the kids out on the raft.  They had so much fun.  They even took a few trips out without the adults (well, Chloe and Jackson did).  It was fun to see those beautiful kids on that beautiful lake.


Jackson & Max - Jana & Tyler's bookends.


Lil & Eva on our short hike to the amphitheater.  (On the way to Mt. Naomi - which we didn't hike).  


Chloe & Jackson at the amphitheater.

Lauren (aka, the love of my life), Jana, & Max.


Hiking in flip flops....


Chilling out and watching Pokemon in the motor home after the fun.


Fireworks in our backyard.  Eva shared her blanket with Brigham and we all swooned.  :)


Yeah...iPhone pictures of fireworks are not so hot.


This was a dream day.  We barbecued, we hiked, we played at the lake, we spent the entire day together.  It was a highlight of the summer....one of many Brallen days to follow.
