This week we had just about as much fun as we could stand. Our good friends, the Wilsons, came to visit for the first time since they moved to Utah four years ago. They have 5 kids, including three girls that are the age of each of our kids. Merrick was a good sport about hanging with us, but our girls were seriously in heaven. They couldn't get enough of each other. Each time we were together, they were planning the next thing they were going to do together. We spent the majority of the three days they were here together, including the whole of the the 4th of July.
We started our 4th of July Celebrations at the river. We paddleboarded and the kids built an elaborate sand castle. After the river, we spent a good chunk of they day just visiting before going to their Airbnb that night for dinner and fireworks in the street.
By Thursday, our friends left for home, but the fun week continued. Thursday, I saw an ad for a waterski show down at the river. I thought it was for that day, but I apparently mixed up the day because it wasn't until Saturday. We decided to make the best of my error and had a nice picnic at the river. That night we finally got a chance to go see Jeremy pitch in his softball league. The games did not go his way, but it was still fun to see him out there.
Saturday, we spent the morning at our city's Old Time Fair. The fun started with a parade. We had a great spot at the very beginning of the route and the girls totally cleaned up on the the candy front. After that we walked around the classic car show and checked out some of the fair booths. We opted not to do any rides, but finally made it to the the waterski show.
