We spent the 4th of July at Bear Lake with the Jones extended Family & Friends. The weather was perfect, the company was perfect, the food was perfect, the girls were perfect (do you believe me?). It really was a great trip. We had tons of fun. We ate, played, ate, swam, ate, visited, ate, napped, ate, read, ate... You get the picture. This year we had our new pop-up trailer (thanks mom!). Compared to many years of tent & car camping, our trailer felt like sleeping in a condo- FANTASTIC. We had super weather, no huge wind storms and no rainy nights. The mosquitos were a bit of a pain, but not as bad as the rumors we had heard. Kudos to whomever invented bug spray. The girls had great times riding their 4-wheelers (thanks dad!), until the bitter end (see Bethany's picture below).

You are so all over it! I can't believe you have already posted. I haven't even uploaded the pics. Thanks for the fun festivas, it wouldn't be the same without you. Oh, and I am officially boycotting the DDC. Seriously!!!
What's the DDC and who got a 4 wheeler ticket after all the complaining about the neighbors and their kids? Great pictures and we all had a wonderful time. Let's do it again there and at the Kimball reunion. Aunt Laurie
I know I said I wanted to see that picture of me and Uncle Animal on the ATV on the blog, but geez, could it be any worse???
Enjoyed all of you!

Long live the DDC!!!! As the current and long standing President of the DDC, I declare the 6th of July to be DDC Day; recognized in all 50 states and 4 territories.
Looks like fun!!! That's too bad about the ticket, Bethany looks so sad! I know you had a hundred pictures to choose from, I don't know how you did it! Way to be on the ball!
We need to catch up sometime!
I love the pictures, it was so much fun, the kids, the cake, the kids, the weather, the kids...yeah I do like them.
Love ya,
Jill H :)
Someone tell me what the DDC is!!!
My mom got on a 4 wheeler??? Why didn't someone call me? I would've flown in (with my four medium-sized children) from California to witness that!!!
Laurie, I'm guessing that the DDC is either a despicable government agency or a medical procedure Sandie performs at work (she's always dropping those fancy schmancy medical terms around us to impress us). :)
Oh, I am SO coveting that pop up trailer.....
