Happy 4th . . . OK 15th of July!








Better late than never. We had a fabulous 4th of July. The morning was spent at a ward pancake breakfast (GREAT JOB ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE) with plenty of friends and great food. My parents flew in that afternoon and we had Texas BBQ Brisket sandwiches and all the typical fixins. Yes, I did just type "fixins." I've lived in Texas too long. In keeping with Grandpa Couch and Hong tradition, we bought a whole bunch of fireworks. Our display didn't quite live up to Don Hong's homemade concoctions, but it was a lot of fun nonetheless. Danny did his first sparklers and fortunately nobody got burned. In fact thanks to Rex's monitoring of the "white line of safety" nobody got hurt. Exxon would be proud. :) Our family show, held in the high school parking lot next door, lasted about an hour and then we had root beer floats while watching the slightly bigger Splashtown fireworks from our backyard.
