We began our long weekend on Friday. We got a call that my family needed some help hauling or "bucking" as Brian says 100 bales of hay. So we threw on the pants, got into my brother's car and headed to Huntsville to get the hay. It was quite the adventure. We had my sister who just had surgery on Tuesday to get her tonsils out driving, my brother with a brace from his surgery on his ACL throwing, Brian and my other brother throwing while I did my best to stack tightly the uneven bales. We made quite the team and finished actually really fast and headed back to Perry with the trailer and prayers that the hay would all stay in place. Surprisingly even though we had an instance where the whole trailer of hay swayed like crazy we made it without losing a single bale. We then got dinner and headed home to watch Logan's fireworks with Brian's sisters. We had saved spots on the hill outside the stadium early that morning.

We began the actual celebrating of the 4th on July 3rd. We went to Plain City for their party in the park. We walked around the booths and played a few games while catching up with different people we ran into. After being there for about two hours we headed to Brigham City to Brian's grandpa's house for a BBQ. His grandpa made the request to get the whole family together for a BBQ and we were all ready to go and excited to get together with him and everyone else. It turned into a big party and was a ton of fun. There was karaoke, stilts, basketball, soccer, tree climbing, and so much more going on. But the best part was seeing how happy Grandpa Romer was to have the whole family together and enjoying everything.

After the BBQ in Brigham we went back to Plain City to hang out with the family again. Scott ended up coming and hanging out to. It was so funny to see how burned everyone got in the two hours we had been gone. We hung out with them the rest of the night and went to another firework show. I didn't take pictures of the fireworks this time but tried to see if I could get a picture of the whole gang.
Didn't quite work since we didn't squeeze in together enough. Oh well though it was still fun.
We took the above picture after having Brian and Jan entertain us with them showing off their cartwheels and handstands. Plus Kira and Jan pulled out some back handsprings for us. We also all tried to play Twister on the Twister blanket. We discovered it really isn't made for four people to play on. It is way too small.
Then on Sunday we stayed at home and relaxed the day away. Or most of it we did. We ended up going to first dam to feed the ducks and playing a little football with Jan and the guy she is kinda of dating. Then we ended up at our house watching a movie.
On Monday Brian and I had the whole day off and some celebrations in Brigham and Perry to go to. We ended up at my parents house for most of the day chilling with family and helping my dad get the suburban ready for our trip this weekend to Jackson Hole. We also got to see my aunt and cousins from Arizona who were up for the holiday. It was a really nice and relaxing day. We had plans to go to our third firework show but ended up at Brian's work trying to get everything prepped and ready for Tuesday since Dean was coming up to go golfing with Brian. So yesterday we all went out to lunch after Brian and Dean finished their game.
Overall we have had a weekend full of playing and it has been hard to get back into work knowing we are getting ready for another weekend of fun up in Jackson Hole and then celebrating our 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!! More pictures and posts to come on that, this time I will hopefully take more pictures of everything going on and not just a few of things like groups.
