Earlier this week Laura took the kids and Grandma up the canyon for a hike.





Saturday night Laura and I had our date night. It was a fun evening. We went to Tepanyaki for dinner. We sat next to a bunch of people we didn't know. Luckily the couple that sat next to us were really cool. The guy had just got out of the hospital a few weeks ago from a Motocross accident. He broke his neck and was in a brace. The food was good and the company was good. After that we headed up the canyon to where Laura had taken the kids hiking earlier in the week. We hiked up for about a half an hour. When we were coming back down the trail we noticed some guy in the bushes and when he heard us he hurried away and got in his car and took off. When we got down by the car we found a bag that had been gone through. It looked like there had been a video camera in it. We call the Sheriff's office to at least report it.

the 4th of July was fun. We started out the morning with a childrens parade. Then we had breakfast at the park. It was so hot outside, I was sweating to death. Later in the day we headed down to Andy's house to continue with the 4th of July festivities. We had some good food and good company. In the evening we had a small fireworks show and the kids played with sparklers.

I'm very grateful for the freedoms that exist in the USA and look forward to celebrating this freedom every year.
