Fountains. There were lots of areal fireworks around us in the neighborhoods. Because of the pandemic, I think people went all out to create their own entertainment.
While at the Spruces they went on two hikes. Here we have the younger set--John, Lillian, Ethan, Amelia and Lydia.
The children spent hours on their scooters on the roads. A generation earlier the grandchildren rode bikes and skateboards on those same roads. What great memories.
Things were great in Idaho as well. Here we have Daniel, Katrina, Neal, and Skyler with Anna in front.

A salute from Daniel.
Neal built a model of the Salt Lake Temple.
Anna -- 10 years old
Our Arizona family were able to spend time with Brandon's family over the holiday.
Six year old Charlotte made a list for her bunny to go to the family reunion. As she packed the items, she checked off the list.
