4th of July

For the fourth we went down to Twin Falls. So on Friday night we went to Grandma and Grandpa Traveller's house for J-Dogs! (hot dogs but with different things on it like macaroni) Then we headed over to Tony and Jodi's house to celebrate Grandma and Grandpa's 50th wedding anniversary! All of the families went up and shared a favorite memory about Grandma and Grandpa. My Mom's was...on her birthday when she lived in Provo her parents drove really early in the morning all the way down to Provo for her, and to celebrate her birthday. Mine was...the 4th of July water fight. Dani and Courtney's was when we went to New York, my grandparents navigated the streets like native New Yorkers! I can't remember Grady's or my Dad's! And Brody's was when we stayed with Grandma and Grandpa, Grandpa and Brody would wake up early in the morning to go and watch the squirrels run up and down the telephone poles! Then on the 4th a lot of the older kids, filled up water balloons for the fight! At 10 we started our 4th of July parade! We went down Mike and Brenda's street then back up! After the parade the Olympics began! Every 4th we do a Traveller Family 4th of July Olympics. Each family competes against each other. We do Family Cheers, Frisbee Golf, basketball shoot, Water Balloon Slingshot, Races(crab walk, crawl, gunny sack, frog leap, karaoke)(football practice run). We had blow up toys (water slide, surfing water slide thing). Then we did our annual water fight! WE GOT SOAKED! STINKING ZACH DUMPED 6 HUGE BUCKETS OF WATER ON ME! Then we ended the night with awards, ice cream cake, and a firework show! Thanks Grandma, Grandpa, Brenda, and Big Jodi for such a fun day! I bet your wondering who won? THE MAY MULISHA! They include, Jeff, Little Jodi, Jackson, and Baby Luci but she hasn't arrived yet!!:) But poor Riley, he got 'tickled to death' by Brods!:)
