We had an awesome day. We spent the morning boating and waterskiing and then went to a BBQ. Oh, wait, they call it a "cookout" here in the south. They don't do hamburgers or meat with barbeque sauce...it's just shredded pork, and you can put it on a bun with some sauce if you want to...different, but tasty!! They also had a snow cone machine and the biggest fastest blow up slide I ever slid, I mean saw. Rachel loved it all, except for the fireworks. We came to this same house last year and I spent the entire time inside. This time Rachel liked the first couple "boom booms" but they got pretty loud and she buried into my shoulder. The next thing I know she's zonked, and she slept through the rest of them. Poor pooped lady, it was a long day...with no nap.
Last Saturday we went to a Luau that celebrated somebody's CW5 (some highest ranking in the military I think) But anyway, he gave a speech and I really liked what he said. He told us even though there's different opinions , "we see his [Pres. Bush's] vision." They see the good purpose of it and are proud to fight to bring us more peace. I'm really grateful for the hearts and sacrifices of our soldiers and their families.

How fun! Rachel's outfit was so cute. I love that last shot of her curled up in bed.
Oh and I like the idea of shredded pork instead of hamburgers. Yum.
Do you guys have a lot of Military in your ward? I really loved leaving in a military ward in Germany. It totally made me respect and honor their way of life. Not to mention having a brother on his second tour in Iraq. It really makes the 4th more meaningful.
My fav picture is of Rach in her swimming suit and cover-up. What a glam baby girl.
That slide rocks! I bet little aqua Rache was loving it.
Rach is the new glamour girl. Sassy and cute!!! We got to see fireworks (ok, it was July 7th, but who cares!) at BAS and they were terrific. Country western band too. Go America!
