4th of July weekend in Snowflake



This 4th of July weekend Linus flew us up to Snowflake to visit our friends Jon and Dawniel Flake and their 3 children Keaton, Hayden and Brynn. It was nice to get there in less than an hour instead of the 3 hour long car ride! The Flakes are our good friends from when we lived in Payson. We had so much fun. When we got there we went outside and visited. We were able to lay on the grass and Payten crawled all over exploring! Now you CAN'T do that in the valley summer heat. IT WAS WONDERFUL to escape this hellish heat even for a short weekend! Oh, and Tippy sure did enjoy all the cooool green grass!!


Payten Loved playing with the animals. They have a new Puppy and have a turtle. I guess Payten wanted to taste the turtle!!





Big Boys Playing. Let's face it, they never grow up, and I love it! I know Linus had fun. I caught him walking off holding a gun, I LOVE that picture (although I don't know where he went!). Then him and Jon had to blow things up. The dump truck is evidence. They tried to blow up anything and everything, even an ant hill!!




Payten rode a 4 wheeler with both her mommy and daddy. And a VERY pregnant little horse. She did not like either one.





She had fun Playing with their kids. Keaton, Hayden and Brynn. They are Very cute kids!






The first night was the 4th. We did not see fireworks until the 5th and went to Heber. Dawniel got them all glow bracelets and necklaces. Then the guys took the kids next door to Jon's parents were they were doing there own fireworks show. I did not go cause it was raining and cold, hence why no pictures.

Several times Linus and Jon disappeared sometimes with the boys and sometimes not. They would go out to shoot the rabbits. Apparently there are TONS and they eat their gardens. This time it was with the boys and they came back with this HUGE dragon fly. It gave me the creeps. If you can click on it and zoom in you can see what I am talking about.

Here's to a fun weekend filled with things you can only get away with in a small mountain town. I mean walking around your yard with guns, blowing things up in your back yard, Riding a 4wheeler in your back yard AND you can keep going cause your not surrounded by neighbors, riding horses in your yard and your own private fireworks show! Now if you did most that in the Valley you probably would have the cops at your door!!! THANKS FLAKES!!!
(ok so I just finished everything and realize i do not have a pciture of their whole family together, I will have to post that later, sorry)

Sounds like a fun weekend!! Now you know why we go to snowflake once a month!! You know at my house you can ride horses, 4 wheelers, shoot things with guns and blow stuff up too, we just don't have the nice weather :) Guess that's happens when you live in the middle of no where.

sounds like you guys had a great weekend. Too bad we're not that close that Linus could fly you guys over for the weekend.
Miss you guys much!

Looks like you had a fun action packed weekend. I don't think there is any question that you guys will move back to a small town in the future. You guys look like you had a great time.
