4th of July fun!

Paul and I attended the ward flag raising and breakfast at the church - tradition for the 4th.  After that we drove up by Kolob reservoir to check out a possible future family camp site.  Some people in our ward own property up there and said they rent it out for things like that.  It's a really nice place.

The waterfall and stream, the lake and the stream running on the Blake's property.

 After lunch and resting up we got together with Moss, Christie and Brendon and the Borrowmans (Ryan had to work) and drove up to that little lake that is sometimes full up by New Harmony.  This year it is really full.  We took our canoe and Moss' raft for some water fun and a picnic.  There were some other people with the same idea there.  They had jet skis, but other than that we had the place to ourselves.  We had a lot of fun paddling around and then Paul and Moss paddled and towed (in Moss' raft) all of us and the picnic stuff across the lake to a spot where we ate our picnic.  Afterwards they did it again taking us all back to the other side.  While we were loading up we saw these really dumb guys (drunk we think) get their truck and horse trailer stuck in the middle of the road that the lake has covered up.  They rode their horses across first to see how deep it was (up to their bellies) and then decided to drive across with the horses in the trailer.  They must have slid a little off the road and pretty soon they were good and stuck and had to get the horses back out and ride them out of the water.  When we left, they still hadn't figured out how to get the truck and trailer out of the water.  There was another way to drive out without going through the water at all.  REALLY DUMB!  For the evening we just watched a movie and some of the fireworks. It was a fun 4th!
