4th

During the 4th of July weekend, we had a Mayes (Mike's mom's) family reunion. On the 2nd we had about 90 people over to our house for Navajo tacos--yum! We had perfect weather and everyone had a great time sitting outside and enjoying the company. The kids loved getting to hit the pinatas! On the 3rd, I was able to go to Billings to see Mike's cousin Mandi and her husband Brad and their kids sealed in the Temple. It was a wonderful experience and I was so glad to be there. On the fourth we went to the very-extended-family pancake breakfast at the park. There were over 200 people! I tried the best creamy syrup that I can't wait to get the recipe and make. That evening we all went to Mike's Uncle Richard & Aunt Linda's house for a hot dog roast. We had yummy hotdogs cooked over the fire, salads and of course I had to make some cake balls--100 didn't last very long. Erik & Sandy got their horse out and lots of kids took turns riding, Geraldine even got in on it:) The kids also had fun jumping on the trampoline and doing pop its on the sidewalk. When it got dark, we did sparklers and watched Mike's cousins light off fireworks. Wilson's eyes were glued to the sky. He loved the lights! Everyone had a great time and it was fun to see all of the cousins!
