4th of July

As this wonderful holiday was approaching Stefen and I got slightly worried as to what we were going to do. We had to do something way more fun than last year which was very exciting since we got engaged the day before and the day of July 4th we had a BBQ to get old friends together but to celebrate as well. With not having family here and only having a few friends we thought our plans would be to stay home and watch movies and attempt to watch fireworks somewhere....

That's when we were told that there would be a wonderful BBQ and some water games.. Little did we know that it would turn into a huge thing at the church with a giant slip and slide!! 

So to start at the beginning we were asked to bring a side of some sort and since we can fruit at our famous Mexi Mart we decided to do a mixed fruit salad. We bought some Honeydew and I was trying to deskin the thing, which was not working so Stefen suggested using our most amazing peeler. Well while in a war with the peeler to get the skin of the honeydew it decided to take a chunk of skin out of my finger. (pictures are on facebook) so the few pictures that you will see of me there is duct tape so it doesnt get infected.

Our day started with a ward breakfast (which I forgot my camera) Stefen unfortunately had to work so I went with some friends and it was Delicious. After Stefen got off we watched a movie and got ready for dinner!!

The duct tape, I'm going to get you finger

I know its blurry but this is about a third of the water balloons we had.

I was trying to get a picture of the little guy holding the ball but he decided to throw it at me

Stefen and our friend Jeremy making sure everyone gets wet!

O Ya! Some foot action!

Stefen sliding down as Jordan is priming it back up with conditioner. We were all very soft because of this particular method of priming.

After all the fun we went home to change into dry clothes. On our way to get our friends to go watch fireworks we were informed that some were going to watch fireworks and others were going to watch a movie. We decided a movie would be more fun. And it was!! 

Our 4th of July was a blast!! Its going to be weird not celebrating the 24th of July since its a Utah holiday. But I guess we will have to throw our own little party!!
