Summer Trip 2020 - Day 10 & 11: Independence Day & CA to SLC

The next morning was the 4th of July.  Tony picked up some donuts for all of us for breakfast that morning.  After eating we went on a golf cart ride and then headed to the local parade.  Boyd saved us some seats and it was the perfect spot to watch the little parade.  It was only about a half an hour long, but it was fun to see what other cities do for their parades.  

Once that was over, it was swimming pool and BBQ time.  My kids love swimming so much.  Allie did really good using the skills that she learned at swim school.  She would jump into the pool and then swim to the other side.  That is pretty huge for her.  In fact, her and Kimball were the last kids in the pool this day.  They were trying to see who could last the longest in the pool.  They decided to get out at the same time, so they both won.

After eating and changing from the pool, we all relaxed for a while. I took Allie and Tyler on a golf cart ride and even had Tyler drive a little.  That is always fun.  After that we went back to Julie's house for cake for Averee's birthday.  We all hung out there until it was time to go to the fireworks.  We found a place to park and then walked down to the park where Gabe had saved us all a spot.  It was a great spot to watch the fireworks.  The kids played until the fireworks started.  Auburn put on a good show, and we all loved it.  The traffic was a little crazy after and it took us a long time to get back to Wendy's, but well worth it.

The next morning, we woke up super early to get on the road.  We were all ready to get back home after our long vacation.  The drive home was slick, with no problems.  We were all happy to be home, even though it was super-hot.  It's always nice to be home after a vacation.
