4th of July Breakfast 2008

Many years ago, our friends, Bette and Marilyn, had all of us over for Breakfast every 4th of July!! The kids loved it. When that tradition subsided, there was murmuring amongst the troupes, so we started having our own. This year we extended invitations to our kids in-laws and Travis invited an old friend from High School who happened to be in town, Eric Robinson and his family. (he has 6 daughters!) Greatly missed were Clay, Telisa and Bodie, Kim who was ill, Chad and Steve (both working), Stephanie, Jason, Jack, Dave, Mikel and Lilly! After we stuffed ourselves with homemade Egg Mc Muffins (aka Lake Powell Special), Hash Browns, Fresh Fruit, Turkey Sausage, Yogurt & Granola, Bran Muffins and 3 1/2 Cinnamon Rolls each!, we played in the water, and by we, I mean the kids and the dads, Tara invited us all over to the Sansoms to swim. We actually wore out the kids, some of them fell asleep before they even went home! Speaking of worn out--Den and I crashed when it was all over, we could hear the fireworks from our bed, but we were too tired (old) to do anything about it!! Happy Independence Day everyone! We are truly blessed to be Americans and enjoy the freedoms we have!!
