Independence Day Celebrations

Photobucket
Happy 4th of July from the Powell kids. We had a great weekend. A neighborhood parade and breakfast, a BBQ and swim party, Stadium of Fire, church, a big family dinner and fireworks, and another BBQ the day after the 4th. Wow!!! What a weekend. I love America and am so thankful for our freedoms that we have.

The largest Eagle Court of Honor ever. 261 scouts received their Eagles at the Stadium of Fire in celebration of the 100 year anniversary of scouting. It was absolutely awesome. When they did the Eagle's Next they had everyone who was an eagle scout in the stadium stand up and hold up a poster of the eagle scout emblem. It really was cool.

Notice the ear plugs Adam and Rebecca are wearing. We learned last year that ear plugs are really nice so we all had them this year. :)

The Eagle thing at the Stadium of Fire sounds way cool. I would loved to have seen that one!

Loved your square foot garden, another reason to miss Utah :o(

Cute pics of your kids in red white and blue. Where did you find those hats?

Great job Rebecca on your swim meet!

Will have to try the tie dye shirts with the kids soon!
