4th of July

We talked Crystal, Bear, & CJ into staying in Gallup for a few days so they could spend 4th of July with us. We took the ski boat to McPhee reservoir in Dolores, CO for the day. It took about 3 hours. We met Trace's son, Casey there with 2 of his buddies to join us for boating. It was beautiful day! Warm but not hot just enough cloud cover to come and go and give us relief from the heat.

The 3 boys did most of the water activities; knee boarding, wake-boarding, and tubing. We did get Bear and Crystal out on a tube too though! CJ was willing to jump in the water and swim but didn't want anything to do with the tubing! I'm with you CJ, I've seen people go flying off those! But everyone had a great time. we came home a little tired and sunburned but it was worth it. we got home in time to see the fireworks going off all over town. we stopped on the way into town and Bear bought some of his own too. CJ got sparklers and Bear had a few roman candles and shooting ones. We set up the lawn chairs in the back yard and there was plenty to see all around. Happy Birthday America!!
