Happy 4th!

Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday this week were mostly getting back into routines.  Summer school for David and swimming and water polo and work.   

Thursday was the 4th of July.  And we had a busy day planned.  I started off with a morning swim, then we took the kids who wanted to go and went on a hike.  Evelyn brought her friend Ashley and we went to hike up to Elowah falls.  It was a beautiful hike and not too hard.  We had a great time! 



After, on our way back (ish) we stopped for some fancy ice cream!  We wanted to get the hike in early enough that it wasn't too hot, and it was perfect, but an ice cream after, really hit the spot!  


We met up with some friends at a park for some celebrating.  We did a pot luck lunch with a bunch of David's school friends and their families.  We had fun with water balloons and sidewalk chalk and of course firecrackers.  The kids had a fun time together and so did the adults!  


In the evening, we went down to Tigard for a drone light show.  We hoped it would be a bit less noisy and a more fun event for Eileen.  It ended up not being all that exciting - starting late, we couldn't hear the music and rather short - but in addition, all the surrounding neighborhoods were doing fireworks, so it was still really noisy and not any better for Eileen.  It was a fun new experience though!  



Friday night, Dan and I took Anna out for Korean BBQ.  We had a fun dinner together then went walking in search of Boba.  It was a fun evening out together! 


Saturday was the usual crazy - swimming, water polo, friends, family and food.  We had Hector over for scripture study time with the missionaries, and then had some yummy ice cream. 

Sunday was church - wonderful and busy - and then game time together after.
